Jamdub Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 To Mr Grainger, proud to be a member of our famous club and it shows, shotgun hobo, now a hun, missing you............ hopefully no bigots in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Plissken Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 One of the few who did okay last week was outstanding tonight. Defends very well and is useful in attack. An inspired signing, one who most of us probably weren't hugely enthused by but has really shown his worth early on in his Hearts career. Let us begin the praise of Danny.

Erik Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hasnt put a foot wrong since pulling on a Hearts strip. I've said it quite a few times already - but I think he's going to turn out to be our best signing in a long long time. Would be my first name on the teamsheet every single week at the moment.

Jam Tarts 1874 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Last night's back four looks more than capable of dealing with anything the SPL has to offer, let's hope injuries don't disrupt it. Some players go to a bigger club and can't hack it (Barr for instance), but some like Grainger become a much better player, well done last night.

Guess The Crowd Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'm honestly not surprised. He was a stand-out for St Johnstone, notably against Hearts at McDiarmid last November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossthejambo Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 When we unveiled our four new signings, Grainger was the one I was very meh about and he has proved me very wrong in a very short space of time. Another outstanding performance last night defensively and some of his passes were brilliant. Hopefully he keeps it up. The question I keep asking myself is....Lee who?

Ribble Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Lee who? Indeed! Actually feel more comfortable with him at LB than I did with Wallace, yes we don't get the runs and overlaps but we have gained better positioning defensivley and consistant dangerous deliveries from free kicks and corners!

Napoleon Wilson Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Dear Danny, I am writing to apologise for my numerous abusive and derogatory descriptions of you as a footballer and your footballing skills. When you were signed i was extremely underwhelmed and was cacking my y-fronts at the thought of you being our 1st choice LB if Wallace left. I remember you from your times at Gretna and Utd and also that when you got Michael Stewart sent off, which i now of course realise was not your fault at all. I have been on record as describing you as "Shit". I am sorry. You are now one of the first names on the team sheet, which is a testament to your ability and desire to play for the Famous. I know nothing about football. I havent played LMA manager since 2007. Napoleon Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaps Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Wasn't to keen about him when he signed but JJ has pulled a cracker here really please with him. peach of a ball he played to temps must have been about a 60-70 yard pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_R Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Fast becoming one of my favourites. Never thought I'd say that as I used to think he was a cheating prick. In other news Lee Wallace has been pretty gash so far through west and is now injured. Great piece of business we've done with hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK'sTooth Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 He has been class, I cant believe he never got touted for MOM. One of the things I love most about him is that he genuinely looks like he WANTS to play for Hearts, and that he cares. on a side note, I actually thought Rudi had not a bad game last night.

Big_Hearts_Runner Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Funny old game. Most experts on here were not that happy/enthused by this signing.

Beverley Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 of the signings we made, sutton was the one who i was delighted we'd signed and grainger was a bit well... he'll maybe be ok totally eating those words now as he's been terrific and seems to be just getting better with every game so far. really delighted with grainger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hate_hibs Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 He's been a great signing, always up and down the park, got a great delivery on him as well.

JamboAberdeen Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Thought the most uninspiring signing among 4 new comers in this summer, just a cheap backup for Wallace, but now am happy to be proved wrong. Arguably the most consistent player in the team so far, ever present, solid in defence while willing to support attack with great delivery though direct free kick can be improved.

Personally I never got suckered in by this "best LB in Scotland pesh" Too many of Lee's defensive failings were ignored because he was tremendous at roving up the left wing, like our very own Gareth Bale Both full back positions are looking much more solid now IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groot Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Danny's been superb this season, probably his downfall in the MOTM stakes because even in his short time these types of performances are becoming the norm which is a sign of a good player and long may it continue I'm not going to try and say I knew all along he'd be a good player because I didn't but I didn't understand some of the seethe (even though it is JKB) at his signing, go back to the 2-2 game at McDiarmid he was dropping bombs into our box from left back and our defence had a nightmare dealing with it and Deucher so I thought he could offer something but didn't realise how solid he could be defensively Keep it up Ps Dwayne I agree with Granny Danger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I said it last week but it is worth saying again. He has been excellent and I for one never thought it was a good signing.
