ah well, McGeouch wont be coming then .............
"Sunderland are looking for a transfer fee if they are to consider allowing Dylan McGeouch to depart this summer.
Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes is keen to bring the former Celtic and Hibs man back to Scotland after a frustrating season with the League One side.
The Dons have until July 5 to bring new faces in for their Europa League opener and McInnes faces a headache with a lack of options in the middle of the park.
But the Northern Echo report the Black Cats would be reluctant to consider a loan deal, after activating a one-year extension to keep McGeouch until 2020.
Jack Ross could sanction a move but only if their is money on the table.
The Aberdeen board always look to back their manager but the new signings this summer have all been loans or free agents"
