"Glenn Whelan has sealed a one-year deal with Scottish top flight side Hibernian, after leaving Aston Villa earlier this summer." As soon as you saw ‘top’ and ‘Hibernian’ in the same sentence, alarm bells should have went off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a very good transfer window. On paper, yes. Certainly we've bolstered the parts of the team that were most in need. What matters is how they perform on the grass.

kila Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 A little more excited again with new goalie, midfield getting more sorted with chance of the Japanese lad.
