That's an interesting quote, fair play to Levein he is a bit of a coup You can see why he signed and why we wanted him to. He'll demand the ball and push us on in games. I predict this will be the signing of the summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How’s the transfer window treating you, Hibs? Yes well done Hearts. I would however say that it is Mr Leveins job to play a big part in the signing. It is in his dual role job descriptions. I am also of the opinion that CL has been working very hard for a good few months lining up new personnel for this season and do not think that the last 2 or 3 weeks have been completely a knee jerk reaction. Just my opinion mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AppleTarts Posted August 14, 2019 https://heartstv.heartsfc.co.uk/tv/video/vod/2239 Few notes to any non-members -Been training with the team for the past week, said he is fit and ready to go for Friday. -Once Hearts were involved, he had to consider. -Said that Levein has been great, gave him time to think with his family, impressed by ambition and was crucial for him signing. -Knows Colin Doyle from the Ireland squad and good friends with Steven MacLean from Sheffield Wednesday days. -Describes himself as a bit of a moaner and groaner, doesn't like losing games, doesn't like losing training, wants to get in the team. -Not here for a jolly, here to improve players and play and had more luxurious offers on paper abroad. -Winner's mentality, wants to win something.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Dunphy 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
