Dylan McGeouch

[mcfly]

I think we do lack ambition

When did we last beat a competitor to a signing?

Fact is crowds are dropping and will continue to.

Our signings this season apart from Doidge not 1 is a regular starter.

Signed by Jack Ross for Sunderland.
Jack recently referenced him as a excellent player
Graeme Mathie was part of recruitment team that secured him originally and now SD.
Known to club - his medical history, his wage expectations, his agent etc etc.
We tried desperately to keep him 2.5 years ago.

I think it’s a fair bet that we would have been interested. But maybe we were too busy taking a break over Xmas and new year and Aberdeen have beaten us AGAIN to a key target?

Bit OTT when we’ve looked at the known knowns and thought “no thanks”.

So we defo put an offer in for him? Thanks for confirming that. I thought people were just speculating.

Interesting to hear what terms we offered the player and club.

Thats bad signings not a lack of ambition.

[jeffers]

So the club are now getting slated for lack of ambition because we haven’t signed a player a poster on here heard our manager didn’t want in the first place. Have I got that one right ?

It appears that way so why are we not pissed off at every single signing all other clubs are making that we also never bidded for? Perhaps they will have been better than what we have.

Surely paying 'over the odds' is ambition of sorts?

I'm not convinced Hibs lack ambition, I'm just not sure we are as attractive a proposition, financial and football wise, as some like to think.

Perhaps,because we lack ambition as a club and we are seen ,as lacking ambition?

IMO,I do think the club do lack ambition.

[hibsboy69]

McGeough is class........the Aberdeen manager knows it

Astonishing if our manager wasn't interested in signing him

He often outshone John McGinn in our midfield and our current midfielders (Mallan, Vela, Slivka and Hallberg) couldn't lace McGeough's boots

Farrago

[Golden Bear]

He seems to have signed for the Dons tonight, it will be interesting to see how he fits in and how many games he actually starts.

[Since452]

Sky confirm he's signed for them

That’s no lack of ambition. It’s mismanagement.

That too.

I’ll give you Hallberg,

Scott Allan was a pre contract so nothing to do with heckingbottom

Would argue Naismith wouldn’t be a regular when David Gray is fit.

My point relates to james, Jackson, vela, Newell , Maxwell. Not 1 has improved us.

If the club don’t show ambition then they do run the risk of losing the season tickets holders they gained.

[makaveli1875]

If they can keep him fit its a good signing for them . If they cant he's going to be an expensive commodity sitting on the treatment table half the season

Some are saying that ..others are just noting that he is a whole lot better than almost everyone we have in midfield ..and hoping that we will start to bring in the levels of quality that we used to ...

I will be interested in how our midfield shapes up once any signings have been made to truly know if this was the mistake it is getting made out to be.

It has been obvious since pre-season that our midfield is weak and unbalanced. I know it's still early on in the transfer window but we desperately need to strengthen ahead of a big game at Tannadice in just over a week's time. If we do not do that it could well be end of season in mid-January. The best we can then hope for is to scrape into the top 6 and crowds will dwindle.

If the issue is we need to ship out players before we sign someone, then we are in a bad way.

I've got an open mind on Dylan. It doesn't seem to me that JR was desperate to sign him, which may be a telling factor. A great player for Hibs in the past, but I'm not sure another lightweight, injury prone midfielder is what we need just now.

[SquashedFrogg]

Is that Ojo guy still pulling up trees for them?

I know he's injured but seem to remember people losing their **** about him in the summer. Crying that the club lacked ambition after pulling out of the deal.

Shrewd move in the end.

Firmly believe McGinn was that good at what he done he made McGeouch look as good as he did in his last season with us

So many people going OTT over the dons signing him. It won’t be long until he’s crocked for the rest of the season.

Tbh the long injury has resulted in no one knowing if he would have added quality to us...in his few games he certainly looked a more straight up DM compared to what we got

Our manager signed him and worked with him for a season and a half. Did not get regular starts during that time. I am sure if JR thought he was key we woukd have went after him. No evidence that we did.

I think you’re right about crowds. If we don’t improve the squad in this window we have no chance of selling as many season tickets next season. If we can’t compete with Aberdeen when we are averaging around 4000 more fans per game, we’ll never be near competitive if we drop down to their level. I understand they have other revenue streams but since Ron came in we are showing no sign of pushing to get targets over the line. Hecky’s comment that Efe would have to play for nothing if we were to sign him was a worrying statement.

It was said when Ron took over that it would help get transfer targets over the line with his financial backing. We’ll have to show some ambition in this window or pay the price with even less investment in ST sales.

Had a few calamities in his early games and then an injury.

Back playing now and looks pretty good to me and probably was the defensive mid we needed.
Not a great player but a decent Hibs/Aberdeen level player.
As usual time and games will tell.

No it’s just crap recruitment. Did any of us think in the summer that Hibs had been ambitious getting Vela, Jackson, Newal? We might have hoped but we were not talking marquee signings were we? Allan was the only one and he was agreed per contract through Lennon.

I think we were all fairly impressed with Vela given what was said about him and some of the teams who had shown interest? Jackson was a known quantity to Heckingbottom.

Might be wrong but did we not beat Hearts to Jack Ross. If rumours are true they humped and hawed over him and we got him. ( Disclaimer, yes I know you meant players BUT you didn’t say that) 😉
