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.

Good signing.

 

Another leader on the park to make up for lack of leadership in the dug out.

 

A good signing and primarily because of the guy you stab in the back but cuddle for a photo when given the chance

Interesting analysis of what he does (and doesn't) do...

Delighted with this. Just what we needed a great player with a great attitude.

 

 

[micole]

Welcome to the "Famous" Glen. A great signing IMO should add a bit of steel to the midfield and hopefully improve our youngsters.

[japanjambo]

Delighted! Welcome to the best club on the planet, Glenn! #HHGH

Also told him the guy that told me said he would 'rip this league apart' 

 

Brilliant signing. Dont think we are finished either. 

 

I can back you up as I commented.

I year deal £8k per game + incentives.

Noticed in the interview that he talked up Levein as one of the main reasons he signed, 

 

Yep, credit where it's due, Levein has played blinder. As Director of Football, the club couldn't e in better hands. On the pitch however it's a different story up till now.

But there wasn’t a delay. You told us two weeks ago that he had signed and the announcement was imminent.  Clearly bullshit,

8k! Bloody hell hope he’s worth it, did wonder how we could afford him dropping from wages at villa

[rmreido]

Hopefully a good fit for Hearts, his experience and knowledge of the game, will definitely rub off on the youngsters.

Great signing.

HHGH

Hearts are also looking to make each signing capable of bringing the clubstore commercial profit. Meshino could be the key to increase as the Asian market is huge and fanatical. Just a thought

Lee out on a permanent and Cochrane maybe on loan somewhere I think.  

 

Although keeping Cochrane around to learn of Whelan could well be more beneficial

If he goes to a part-time team on a development loan, then he will still train day to day with Hearts and can play for the Reserves/Colts.

Here Chester, if yer lookin for another confidant in future feel free to gimme a pm will ye. I used to be in the circle of trust in here but I’ve had the square root of **** all recently (bar one wee titbit, you know who you are 😊). Anyway, ma arse seems oot the windae these days 😢

Its a myth that clubs make any real money through shirt sales on the back of new signings.

Good article that. Thanks for posting. It would be interesting to see similar comparisons with Naismith, Walker and Damour to see how they can complement each other's qualities.

His time is now I don't see a better place especially signing players Damour Whelan etc. I understand Harry has been difficult but he's turning a corner. If its going to be a loan out  then I'd prefer to wait till end of year .

Mate, I have zero info on Hearts usually, unless it involves something with the OF.

 

Only reason I heard this was Whelan is good mates with someone at Cel**c.

 

Most of my stuff ends up like everything else on here. Total shite.

 

We may be linked with a player and someone has contacted their agent (which is usually when I hear things) however most turn in to nothing.

 

I do not have a contact in Hearts, though that is changing very soon if you knew me on facebook

New Glenn Whelan song to the tune of Dancing on the Ceiling:

 

man what in the world is happening with that ball

I don't have a clue

let's get Levein out

 

what is happening here

jambos are on the beer

Berra just smashed the lights

We're trying to have a party

but the tactics are shite

 

chorus

Oohhh what a feeling

when we're watching Glenn Whelan

 

Ooohhh what a feeling
