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.

I'd like to see if Vela can offer something under Ross before looking to empty him. He's not even made one match day squad since PH left.

Mentioned this on other threads, but we didn't miss out to Aberdeen - Dylan would have signed for Hibs if we'd been interested. Ross told him he wanted a different type of midfielder, and Dylan took Aberdeen's offer after that. He also knocked back Hearts, by the way - they wanted to speak to him but he didn't entertain them.

I agree, cant go turning down quality like that.

Intrigued to see who we do bring in now.

It depends who else we sign instead, I suppose.

There's a whole world of footballers out there, Dylan's one we know but there are plenty others and dare I say plenty better players that fit closer to what we need at the moment.

I'm a huge fan of Dylan's, I'd have loved to have seen him come back and am gutted to see him sign for Aberdeen, but ultimately Jack Ross will live or die on his signings, and he knows much better than I do exactly what he's getting from Dylan, so if he's considered it and decided against it, then you have to think he's confident that's the right decision.

There's not a manager in football who would purposely pass on a player that could keep them in a job. If Ross thought he was essential,he'd be a Hibs player.

Shame but it's a good move for Dylan.
Sunderland are a crock.

[tonyrougier123]

Be lucky if he plays 6 games between now and may imo.

Injury prone laddie.

Best taking a wage elsewhere.

Good cup winner,had a terrific last season with us.

But lets get a fit strong player in.

[tonyrougier123]

Anybody thinking we passed on him is deluded,he was headhunted by aberdeen and they will pay him handsomely.
I wouldnae let this be a jack ross didnae want him or hibs couldnae afford him thread or this place will explode in febuary.
Be prepared for another one of those windows folks!

So if signing Dylan meant we couldn’t afford the dm we’ll be wanting in you’d have been happy to carry on with an unbalanced midfield for the rest of the season?

How would it be unbalanced if Dylan has played, successfully as a holding midfielder many times before?

True. Let’s just trust Ross on this then, still sticks in the craw.

Not good letting a player like that head up north if we could have brought him in, this "best of the rest" stuff means we have to compete for players that will make us so. Dylan and Efe would appease the fans and more importantly - improve us. This stinks of penny pinching to me.

I dont think he ever bought into Hibs in the way Gray, McGinn etc did, it seems he was just an employee doing his job, I never felt a connection with him.

My thoughts exactly.

Did Dylan speak to Hibs, ask for a certain amount of money and Hibs refused?

If not, I can't see where the penny pinching comes in.

Unless the manager didn't want him (as explained previously).

More likely that the boss knows that Dylan's injuries require a lot of work. Lennon suggested a lot of the problem was in the boy's head.

If we genuinely weren't interested as people have guessed on here we weren't then fair enough.

I'm highly sceptical Ross hasn't identified a player who would certainly improve us, that he has worked with before and said no thanks.

Since when was Lennon qualified as a psychiatrist ?

Around the same time as all of us here became professional footballers?

Home and away regardless of who we sign. Just disappointed we didn't show the ambition to bring back a cup winning legend who would absolutely improve our squad

Part of a manager's job is to assess how players attitude is affecting their performance. It's a bit extreme to suggest that only psychiatrists would be able to spot when a good kick up the arse is what a player needs.

I'd suggest that Lennon got reports from physios, and possibly the doctor, that suggested that Dylan was making more of his injuries than the physical tests showed.

There's two types of holding midfielder, strong tackling ones and clever quarterback style ones, Dylan is the latter. We had McGinn and Bartley previously who were happy to do the dirty stuff which allowed Dylan and Allan to do their bit. At this moment we need and hard tackling DM to allow Allan, Hallberg and Mallan to do their bit.

[Salt N Sauzee]

look forward to boo-ing his every touch at ER

If you think that’s what we need then you’re mental. Hallberg is a very similar player in style and it’s not been working with him there. The only time I can think you can be referring to him playing as a holding mid is when we played 3 at the back and McGinn was alongside him. Very different to now. What we need is someone with the attributes similar to Fyvie when he played at the back of the diamond under Stubbs

On a different but related note. Hallberg has been one of our better signings, but imho he is OK..nothing much more...wouldn’t have got a game in the Fyvie, McGinn, Allan and McGeough. Midfield
...

Too early to fully judge him, and I believe he is not playing in his natural role - so will be good to see him develop...

[BonnieFitbaTeam]

Having signed for McInnes' cloggers, chances are he'll be injured in training by one of his team mates so we probably won't see much of him!

Defensive midfielder is different from a holding midfielder.

[Alfred E Newman]

Too many people are making things up.
Ross has made it quite clear that his priority is a strong defensive midfield player. There is no point blowing a good slice of your budget on more of what you already have.

Unless it's significantly better than what you already have, and letting it go to a rival improves them further.
