Up to the forwards to up their game now and prove their worth. All we need to do now is to stop lumping the ball from Berra to Uche,. Then we might get somewhere.
Tennant's 6's Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Great singing. He had good words of CL as well. Just need to get the team playing better & to start picking up results. Maybe a wee loan deal to see how Cummings fares in the Premiership too perhaps..
BRAVEHEART1874 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Haring, Damour and now Whelan looking good Can Damour also play as an attacking mid if needed, basically replacing djoumn when haring is fit? Thought he was quite good his last game

Kev1998 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Wake up and smell the coffee guys,fantastic stop gap signing that will steady the ship a bit, he still has to go though,Only sandpapered over the cracks

Maybe Berra will need to ditch the Square boots to pick them out and not the empty space in the corners.

I just dont think he's suited to Scottish football.
Pilmuir Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Happy that Glen Whelan has finally signed. Well played CL, credit where it is due.
Guest Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Could be another Naismith quality signing. Finger crossed.

He's The General never the likes we seen since Kidd Bruno in my opinion and Brellier to an extent as leadership and class goes a no brainer. Has been training along with Joel during last few weeks. Non of them are newbies. I'm sure Motherwells tactics plans have been wiped out a few times already. I hope Meshino is next. Craig Levein has 10 days - 6 weeks of my support I hope he has it in him as a winner of my respect.

Theres a 200+ thread where its essentially the same 3or 4 posts all the way through. Add your thoughts to there unless they relate to Whelan
Phil Dunphy Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 A very good signing for the club, some much needed experience in the midfield that will surely benefit the likes of Haring and Damour. That said, not comfortable with the idea of having two defensive midfielders in the side at one time.

The guy offers nothing to the team in my opinion, too lethargic and wants too many touches on the ball. I saw him have one decent game at Tynecastle when he played in a more attacking role but other than that he has offered nothing. Really can't see what CL see's in him and I would hope he is not going to get a contract extension.

Bring Back Paulo Sergio Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Good interview by him, sounds like he's not just here to keep fit for the ROI squad.
BarneyBattles44 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 If you think I'm on something now wait till you see the state of me if Craig kicks doors off the hinges in Riccarton. That means someone's been in his ears.

Maybe tactic one is to keep the ball away from Berra unless we are defending then he can't punt it even if he wants to.
Marooned In Ireland Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Pleased that Whelan has signed. Not a marquee signing but one which I feel will make a difference. All in all, some tidy signings this summer. Now, all we need is a settled formation and tactics that the players are comfortable with. If things are got right on the field, this squad is well capable of silverware, and of sticking one or two up the ugly sisters.

Add your thoughts to there unless they relate to Whelan Yeah, Levein is having a nightmare and it could be argued that these signings contradict his comments previously or business should have been done already as some have said elsewhere.. but I have to cut the guy a little bit of slack and say well done on signings in the last week.. (though proof-pudding).. he really doesn’t have much excuse anymore not to be competing in this league for 3rd with this squad though

been here before Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Ive got to be honest and say that until I saw him mentioned on this thread Id never heard of him. Im not a big watcher of English football mimd. Consensus seems to be he's a good signing so Ill go along with the flow. First bad half though then he's written off as shite and roundly booed at every opportunity though.

Having some more experienced players in the team to help teach the young players how to play the game is a smart move. It’s the same approach JJ and Alex McDonald took. Having Sandy play beside him was a huge help for JR. No comparison between Doddy and Sandy to Levein & co.

hearts00 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Shouldn’t be viewed as anything but a good signing considering his pedigree. However, let’s leave all the back slapping and high 5ing for a few months. Dramatic improvement from here in terms of performances and results needed.

Generally there's midfielders that are verseiltile can play DM and CM some DM CM and AM. It depends on who's cleaning n who's winning the ball passing it on. Harring Damour and Whelan cover a lot of options.
