Strolls through games and had that whole Rangers midfield in his back pocket today. Say what you like about Levein's management capabilities, but he clearly is a major influence in signing class players like Whelan and Naismith. They often talk about "buying into what the manager is trying to do" and the way he talks up Hearts in the recruitment process will have an impact on their decision to come here. Yes, there have been some horrendous duds but we have also seen real quality like Whelan, and I think that is in no small part down to Levein. Credit where credit is due and all that.

Debut 4 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Best mid on the park today, inc Rangers lot in that.

Didn’t see too much of it today but did see his yellow card which was an excellent piece of professionalism and taking one for the team. I was screaming at the tv for him to bring the guy down to stop a probable goal and he duly obliged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 He's an absolute rolls royce of a player at this level. Kinda feel like he's wasted with the dross around him. Hopefully we can get Naismith, Walker, Washington, Halkett and Souttar into the same team and we'll actually realise this teams potential.

Mdoug79 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Whelan is different gravy! He does all the unnoticed important stuff. Takes the ball from the defender and drill a pass into feet for our attacking players! Absolute stroller! Once we have a full squad this man will pull the strings.

Kiwidoug Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I know it's been said around a thousand times but with around 6 first choice players still to come back, it's a very enticing prospect. If we really apply ourselves, some teams could be in for sound thrashings, one in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great player and can’t wait to see him and Haring together in the middle. however thought he was careless with the ball today. He's been our best recruit of the season, but I would have to agree with this. I think the two full games on International duty took their toll on him. He passed the ball out the park on a couple of occasions and made a complete mess of an attempted slide tackle that aloud OJo into the box. We can forgive him that though. He still did a lot right today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceefax Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I reckon if Ireland qualify for the Euros then I don’t think we’ll see him after the summer.

Mr Elwood P Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Be great to see Whelan, Naismith, Berra, Haring, Walker, Michael Smith, Souttar etc all on the park together at some point. Whelan and Naismith could be sensational! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigO Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Kind of agree with everyone here. It wasn't Whelans best game on the ball, but name one single player, both teams, who controlled possession?! It just wasnt that type of game, so Whelan did his job of winning his fights and holding our shape, which he did to perfection. Itd have been nice if he'd stroked the ball about but second half id be surprised if either team strung more than 3 passes together. He did his job.
