Guest ToqueJambo Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Might turn out to be the key signing of the season for us. We’ve lacked leadership in the middle, only Naismith really provides that which is partly why we missed him so much last season. Haring has it but Whelan is a while other level experience wise. Centre mid is all about combinations. Brown was nothing without mcgregor for example last night. Now Clare can have a spell on the bench and we can hopefully play some better football with more experienced heads in there when needed. Still worried about where goals are coming from when Naismith’s out but at least Walker has got his eye in already. This is our best squad for quite a while. Need a result and performance on friday to get things on track.

I hope he gets the ball on his thunder blaster soon because he deserves to be a playmaker that's what he's good at. Edited August 14, 2019 by BarneyBattles44

Minturn Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Good signing. Remember watching Whelan beat up people all over the Prem and Championship. For the love of God Levein please go to the 4231.

Marooned In Ireland Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 24 minutes ago, McCrae said: What are you expecting... for our budget this is about as marquee signing as we will get. Point taken, but you know what I mean. Naismith probably the most glamorous signing we've made this window, albeit he has been here long prior to the permanent deal. Pereira probably the highest profile seeing as he's coming from Old Trafford. Whelan is potentially the best outfield signing of the summer, but is certainly not a fashionable dude
bean counter Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Welcome Glenn Really pleased with this and don't think there is much risk. I think he will bring the steel we need in the middle of the park. Also his experience will also will benefit the younger boys. Looking forward to the season again

Joking aside, Whelan is coming here at the latter end of his career with nothing in his trophy cabinet at home. Hopefully he'll be a driving force to get a medal. Or two even!

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 18 hours ago, siegementality said: If Whelan has signed - IMO - his signing could well save Levein’s job. Between Whelan and Naismith there should be enough leadership on the park to make up for the lack of leadership off it. Another one of Levein’s nine lives used up. Lucky boy! A manager that works so hard to get a signing isn’t luck 5 hours ago, mitch41 said: Levein needs older journeymen to organise the team on the pitch because his management team can’t. Naismith, Berra, McLean, Cowie, Hughes ect have all been needed by Levein to manage what was going on on the pitch. All top teams have more than one leader and people that can “manage” games as required 3 hours ago, Pasquale for King said: He gave Hughes another contract last summer when that money would’ve been better spent elsewhere.
