Got to hope so, he's looked well off it for a while, maybe still getting over his injury. No doubt about it when he is on his game he is unplayable. However the other side of the coin, when he is poor he can be utterly dreadful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have no knowledge of the player, your opinion is just purely based on his age. thats a fact. No not age related at all,actually think he’s in good nick fitness wise for a 35 year old and clearly isn’t injury prone. The problem i have is the style of player he is,I want more from a midfielder than a water carrier,if they win the ball I want them to do something with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of times last season he could have grabbed a goal but decided to lay it off. Be a bit more selfish. Sometimes his long range passing doesn’t work as well as you’d like. And his crossing. But people say he’s lazy, weak and rubbish. Which is all absolute nonsense. Agreed on this. I don't think he's quite there yet as a CM, but but I think he can get there. He needs better than Bozanic beside him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyces beard Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 If we did sign Whelan it would be a good signing. Not only would it help our young midfielders develop but it would also make Haring a better player as he would have to improve in order to be a starter every week, especialy if we choose to play with only one holding midfielder.

hisnameis Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 1 hour ago, SuperstarSteve said: That’s a possibility tbh but two centre defensive midfielders playing together is more likely to happen against the old firm. Levein said he’s signing cover for haring but I think haring will be cover for whelan. Time will tell a guess, I like haring and would very much like a centre pairing of him and whelan I just think it’ll be one or the other. I think Haring scored more goals last season despite being out for longer. Appears to be more of a goal threat not just an out and out DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding a 35 year old who albeit has had a good career I don’t think helps that. Add in the fact he does very little with the ball in a positive way and I think we’d have our new scapegoat.
