Deviskan Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Colour me surprised! How many times do people on here need to get suckered into this pish...before they realise most of the people claiming to be ITK are slavering halfwits desperate for attention? Then for anyone that is truly ITK, pish like this is what ends up costing us signings...leaking info like ‘we’ve signed Whelan on a 1 year deal’, it gets into the press...and some other club makes him a better offer. But no doubt, next week the ITK/PM wankfest will start all over again, with people floating along like the fecking bistro kids at the faintest whiff of some person on here they’ve never met promising them player x is about to sign.

BarneyBattles44 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Deviskan Before the Whelan story broke someone on here posted interest was heading towards him. I replied 1 year 8k a game + incentives That's before the aftermath here of stories / guff. subject to your good self posting of course Add If we're not in for him then its coco the clown time for many Totally get your mindset though But If as you suggest a leak from here would impare negotiation with The General .

Kiwidoug Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 They're probably arguing about money. That of course is make or break if Whelan has other offers. I doubt is he has too many at his age.

soonbe110 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 12 hours ago, CJGJ said: I think we may be his back up if nothing else happens Craig Levein spoke for the first time about Hearts’ talks with Glenn Whelan and said the club are continually working to sign the Irish midfielder. The manager wants to strengthen his defensive-midfield area and 35-year-old Whelan was in Edinburgh for talks over the weekend. He is a free agent after leaving Aston Villa and Hearts officials hope to get a decision from him in the next few days. Speaking after opening the new Premiership campaign with a 3-2 loss at Aberdeen, Levein said: “We are continuing to speak to him and are hopeful we can get something done because I think you could see today we need a bit of experience in that area.

If a player was impressed with the offer he wouldn't need a few days to think it over. The fact that the English transfer window is still open might have an impact on his delay. I would think if he gets an equally good offer nearer to his home then he is more likely to take that rather than sign for us. However should he not get any better offers he may choose us. If he does hopefully he is fit enough to play straight away as we need someone with a bit of dig in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s pretty busy, especially as all the streets around the station are narrow suburban sprawl with a few blocks of shops. It feels like you are a liquid being poured through a narrow labyrinth. It’s way too over populated basically. If it wasn’t for all the traffic it’d be a quite nice place with all the red brick houses and green spaces. Edinburgh is not so bad away from Princes Street and the Bridges. The bypass makes a huge difference.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I'm getting to the point, I don't really care who they are, as long as they are better than the ones there already. I doubt Bozanic will play much now, he is another I would get off the books given half a chance. Clare can still have his uses, just not in games like yesterday. Whereas Irving looked more comfortable, so theres a midfield plus. Little surprised he got the hook but then the system changed Back 4 struggling to keep clean sheets, some mistakes but exposed far more by the lack of depth in that midfield without Haring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gov Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) I mentioned in the Transfer Thread but CL mentioned on the radio yesterday he will be happy once he gets 2 more in... i expect one is whelan (if he wants to come) and another DM/MF so hopefully some movement in the next few days.

Once it got past the stage where we could register him for aberdeen it became less of a rush, in fact he could be perfectly happy with the offer but taking time to find somewhere to live, check schools for his kids etc, doesn't really matter (other than to folk frothing on here) if he signs today or early enough on friday to be registered in time for the next game.

Rods Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I just hope the club has someone lined up if he decides to sign for a championship club. I am losing my patience with experience over aged players required ethos. We should be looking to sign players in their prime around 28/29 those guys have enough experience. If Haring comes back to find his place is taken he will have to fight for it back and its up to the person who is in his place to hold onto the spot.
