If it came down to it mcgeouch would be in my team 10 times out of 10 over Mallan. He's a better footballer.

Before Dylan left there were many on here claiming he was a better player than SJM, now he’s away folk are pretending they don’t want him back. Madness

Probably the folk that didn't claim that are the ones who aren't fussed about him coming back, it's how these sites work.

Probably the reason some fans didn't take to Mallan last season as they expected Mallan to be a McGeouch or a Mcginn and he's neither he's just a very good Mallan

Not for me. Mallan is improving all the time.

Pretty sure arfield hadn't been playing for falkirk for about 5 years when they scored that goal blair Alston or sibbald it was who scored

Sibbald I think, I always got those 2 mixed up!

Looks like he’s considering him at left back as Lewis is injured

The game at St mirren park in January, when Eddie May was in charge, Whittaker was fantastic at left back. Picked up his injury in the last minute

He wasn’t even close to being as good as McGinn but I do want him back.

Another player that I have never seen play before but just like the other signings, really looking forward to seeing him play.

To be fair I wouldn't mind if I never see him play, purely because it means Rocky has stayed

Mallan got our players and fans poty in his first season in a midfield that had just lost it's two best players. He's still improving and if he kicks on from last season we'll struggle to keep hold of him.

But then what happens if he is better than Rocky though? 😉

From that I’d say McGeogh is not coming back.

The reality is PH decides who is required and waying up wages or even style of play he may just simply not feel we need him or want him. What's annoying is if he goes to Aberdeen as we have seen before on here people moan at the club regardless if we even made a bid for him or not.

I am sure there are 100s of good players we can afford but do not buy as they may not fit in. Dylan IMO is a brilliant player and I would be delighted if PH thinks worth it abs fits in but if he doesn't thats fine.

With Aberdeen losing some key players and having a higher budget than us they would probably be able to offer a more luxurious deal.

I'm not sure why we think the dons are now likely to offer more wages for a given player. There was over 3000 of a difference in average attendance last season plus the money we got from villa being promoted. It depends on how much each club wants the player but I would think it more likely it would be down to the manager to persuade the player. Too many people get hung up on wages a player gets.

They have more revenue and also have a bigger wage budget.. not quite sure how but it is noticeable difference

Aberdeen pay more than us. It’s just a fact.

They have a turnover 50% higher than ours due to higher commercial income. It’s still a mystery to me how that is achieved but it translates into better players on the pitch.

You've more chance of getting 10 games in a row out of Mallan.

Whether or not those 10 games are consistently good is another thing.

5 of them will be pish though.

Dylan's five games will be good, and you have a chance of getting a good game out of his replacement.

With Mallan you seem to have to accept whichever Mallan turns up, and the teams we need to do better against in order to rise up the league have worked out how to overrun him.

Lots of thing constitute the make up of a footballer.

If we're comparing McGeouch v Mallan then Mallon has him beat all ends up on assists and goals scored. There are other aspects that Dylan will be better at but the two I have highlighted are very important IMHO.

Bit surprised if it is true that they are letting Lee leave.

They’ve got far worser players on their books than him.

Maybe has told Levein he hasn't a clue about how to manage a team to play football, so binned for not buying into Leveins football strategy 😁

They are different players .I don't understand the flack Mallan gets from some on here .

Hopefully ****ing not

Play him in a friendly or two, to prove the point he isn't good enough to play there, so that PH can take the learning and not play him there again, without doing any damage by playing him in games that matter ...
Other point is if PH plays him there instead of Mackie where does that really leave Mackie ??

[hibbycraig]

Dylan was a good player when he was with us. But if he doesn't fit into the new system or isn't the type of player the manager wants then there's no point talking about it. Accept that it's not to be and move on to the next rumour.

Mallan needs to improve big time off the ball this season for me. He was losing runners in midfield far too easily last season. I have no problem with Mallan on the ball when he has time and space as he can ping a pass and his set piece delivery (when it's whipped in not floated) is excellent. But in terms of an overall footballer on the ball in midfield I would still trust mcgeouch over him to get out a tight situation. He may have suffered from having an average midfield alongside him last season and maybe allan coming in will lighten the load alongside a defensive mid. Maybe I'm being too harsh and there was too much pressure put on him last season being the only midfielder who was capable of winning us a game (through his goals and assists) but I expected more from him last season and think he still needs to make a big jump up to be classed as a consistently good player for us.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

I think if Mallan is going to start for us we need to play to his strengths.

He’s at his best when a goal threat in the final third of the pitch, far too many games last season we struggled to get him into those areas.

He’s not a deep lying playmaker like Dylan. Whether he will play for us in a more attacking role remains to be seen with Allan back.

Dylan nice to watch but Mallan has goals a great dead ball and a wider range of passing.
