OmiyaHearts Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Very pleasing to see the amount of well wishing from his former clubs supporters. Plenty also mentioning he's a bit of a baller.

"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.
Cade Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 28 minutes ago, OmiyaHearts said: Whatever the thoughts are on things manager-wise, theres no doubt we have a quality centre mid pairing. 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.

Gambo Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Good signing. Another leader on the park to make up for lack of leadership in the dug out.

Penrices left boot Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Welcome. Can't wait to see a few tricolours to celebrate this, Ken just like Lafferty. Great pedigree, suited to Scottish football. Great transfer window. Time to kick some ass.

chester copperpot Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Hope @Morgan will back me up on this but told him on 3rd August that Whelan would defo sign. Also told him the guy that told me said he would 'rip this league apart' Brilliant signing. Dont think we are finished either.
Sagan Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 You should read the comments on the Hearts Instagram post re whelan. Villa fans saying he's class, hibs fans admitting that they're jealous, the lot!

Victorian Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 "I'm here to improve players, if I can" You can't buy that kind of plain speaking confidence. He's not saying players need improved. He's suggesting he's a cut above.
kila Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 A little more excited again with new goalie, midfield getting more sorted with chance of the Japanese lad. I fear getting my hopes up too high before Friday though so I'm going to just keep thinking everything is still pish for now

Jammy T Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 1 hour ago, Tom Hardy’s Dug said: All top teams have more than one leader and people that can “manage” games as required This It is well recognised that a small group of the most experienced players in the England rugby team that won the World Cup had a huge influence on training and set up in the final 2 games that won them it. Woodward put the foundations in place. The team had leaders that took those foundations on and managed the tournament out.

The rat catcher Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Delighted with this. Just what we needed a great player with a great attitude.
micole Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Welcome to the "Famous" Glen. A great signing IMO should add a bit of steel to the midfield and hopefully improve our youngsters.
japanjambo Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Delighted! Welcome to the best club on the planet, Glenn! #HHGH

Meshino could be the key to increase as the Asian market is huge and fanatical. Just a thought
