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

 

Et tu Brute?

Still waiting on your observations of the thrilling Ross County game.

 

Photo taken with a playing legend, problem?

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

 

That can't be right, he's regarded as a joke figure according to the kickback experts. 

[The_razors_edge]

I’m on board with this signing if only because of the seethe it’s generated on twitter amongst celtic and hibs fans. Welcome Glenn 👍🏻

What was this?

 

You seem quite measured although anti-Levein.

Wow! This is welcome news to wake up to. Given the length of time that had gone on I thought there was no chance of the deal being completed. Thankfully, I was wrong. Every team needs a player like Whelan.

 

Now hopefully he pairs up with Damour and Clare is punted to the bench. Let the front 4 play with freedom.

Folk mixing up not liking Leveins style of football management with Levein the person. (Basically Levein FC supporters who struggle to read).

My son was a mascot v Dundee, Neilson, Hartley, Levein came out in dugout area as team's warmed up, got pics taken with all 3, put the pic up on here with Levein as a wee bit of banter ........result nashing of teeth. Folk wanted me to go give Levein an ear bashing on a day out for mascots.

It give the Levein FC fans something to cling onto when they have to ignore the truth I comment about games and how we play under Levein, even the ones I praise him in.

JKB summed up in one post.

Would have been quite funny if you had!

 

Was Levein decent person to person?

Would have no problem telling Levein his football is shite at the right occasion, im sure Levein could handle that other people have different views (& he did not waste a £1 on me) big day out for mascots was not the place.

All joking aside it’s been a tough 5 years for you.

 

Your most detested player managing us and your most detested manager coming back to manage us.

 

You probably needed a cuddle. From anyone, even Levein....

Wondering if a 4-3-3 might suit us best?

 

                  Joel

 

Smith Halkett Berra White

 

    Whelan Clare Damour 

 

 Washington Uche Naismith 

 

 

The forward 3 could easily have Mulraney or Walker in it depending on form, opposition or injuries. Clare would have the freedom to drive forward and support the attack. White and Smith would be covered by having Damour and Whelan in there.

Neilson was okay as manager until Levein stuck his oar in.

The last 2 seasons have been tough on any Hearts fan, 2 6th place finishes tells you that.

How was our performance on Saturday, I missed your posts commenting on after the game so remind me. Seen your thoughts pre game so no need to remind me of them.

Nah, he’s seeing a specialist about his dodgy knees tomorrow. Be fine for the top six split though.

I have commented bits on various threads

 

To be fair not one single thread on this ****ing place has stayed on topic in months so it’s no surprise you haven’t seen any or might have missed them.

Like the set up, for me though Uche is bench material at moment. He looks a little lost at moment.

Clare was the best player on the park on Saturday.  Only time we looked like creating something was when he got on the ball and ran at people.

As said elsewhere, logic would dictate that the fact that Man City signed him, I think for £900k, and that he would improve us, should make the decision relatively straightforward.

 

If it is knocked back, then serious questions need to be asked by the club.

I believe the fact that Man City will also push this as well, should see a favourable outcome 

 

In saying that the Scottish hierarchy have previous form in shafting the non old firm clubs
