Do you think we dodged a bullet with not bringing him back.

No. He would walk into our team. Him or Slivka? Decisions.

Hibs have moved on. He will not be back.

I think we did. I don’t think he’ll ever find the form he did when he was with us and on the fringes of the Scotland squad.

He's been dropped and heavily criticised by fans of his last two clubs. I think it's more than Aberdeen's style not suiting him. Lennon alluded to him having mental barriers in the past.

Personally I think this topic has already been discussed in countless threads already. I've nothing further to add other than its well and truly time to move on.

I don't think Dylan McGeough fluked a season where he was great at Hibs, he just performed as he's capable of performing. The fact it didn't work out at Sunderland, and isn't going great at Aberdeen, doesn't change the fact that we saw what he was capable of.
Good player, and if we had him he'd improve our team.

His 2 best spells for us was when he had legs in midfield doing the graft, Fyvie and then McGinn but tends to struggle when he doesn't have that luxury, he reads the game well and does the basics very well but I still question his mental desire to succeed, unlike McGinn who wanted to be the best he could.

Dylan has got fantastic skill and can read and control a game fantastically well. Would walk into most teams in this division.
However that needs to be in a team with the right midfield and style - and Aberdeen is not it.
Aberdeen have a big budget, and have bagged themselves a lot of very good midfield players who are injured / cant get a game / are struggling in that formation (Ojo, Dylan, Craig Bryson to name 3).

Genuinely think McInnes is on borrowed time there, one win this calendar year in the league allied with spending a fortune and awful football.

What the McGeouch transfer to Aberdeen shows is that we should trust our recruitment team. Especially when you look at who we brought in instead.

We need to move on. If the Aberdeen move doesn’t work out for him, he could maybe start a YouTube channel for his stretching routines. He must be one of the country’s foremost experts in stretching by now.

McInnes has been a revelation at Aberdeen. Their best manager since Ferguson but every manager has a shelf life at a club that size. Wonder who they would get in to replace him. With the new stadium, training ground and financial backing they're an attractive proposition. I have a feeling they would try and pinch Jack Ross

Your question won't go down well with many.
A helluva lot of Hibs fans reckon we should sign back any ex Hibs player that is up for transfer and if another club sign said player then we missed out on a target or we have slipped up badly not signing him.

I don't think going to Sunderland was a bad decision by DM at all.
If a player gets the chance to go and play in England at a big club and earn themselves a significant wage increase safe in the knowledge that if it doesn't work out there would still be suitors in Scotland then it seems like an absolute no brainer to me.
As I said on the thread about Efe the whole debate about whether we should or shouldn't sign players is fine. There seems to be a few people who love to specialise in revisionism about what players offered. McGeouch was a very good player for us, his peers recognised that at the time, and to suggest otherwise is just nonsense. We made the decision not to bring him back and that's fine, it's possible to support that decision without dismissing a players previous contribution.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.

He has not been that good since he left Hibs:
He had one season where he played consistently, which coincided with his contract expiring; and
Good when he played but several periods a season out injured and frequently pulled up in matches.
Given all this and the fact JR managed him for over a season , it is no surprise we did not pursue him.

I think Dylan is a bit of a specialist and will struggle to fit into most teams. He even struggled a bit at Hibs to find his position with Stubbs playing him wide right most of the time. It was only when Scott Allan arrived and Lennon settled on a 3-5-2 when we began to see Dylan perform consistently brilliant. There are not many players capable of playing the holding role as well as Dylan. He is great at receiving the ball in tight spaces and getting the team on the front foot. The only thing is that British football often sees this as the position for tough tackling hard men.
At Aberdeen I suspect the fact that Ojo is playing alongside him will mean that Dylan doesn't have the space and movement in front of him to thrive.
For me a midfield three of McGeouch, Docherty and Omeonga/Allan would be fantastic at Hibs. McGeouch is pure class when played in the right position in the right team.

Dylan never once played wide right for Hibs.
