NeilS Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Not the most exciting signing by any means, but sometimes the least exciting signings turn out to be the most crucial ones. Welcome to the club Glenn Whelan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want them both to start games together either.. but I guess thats the point I was making 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can he kick the ball 50 feet in the air at a perfectly vertical angle like Jedinak?! If he can, then he's the full package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 20, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2017 1 hour ago, Junxs said: I don't have a problem with Glenn Whelan, been a solid player over the years. I just don't think he's what we need right now - at all. He's the type of player who would have been good in a relegation battle couple of years ago rather than one coming into an already defensive side that struggles to create anything. Bruce will have him sitting alongside Jedinak in the dual DM role in place of Hourihane most likely. I'm not saying they'll never play together, but I'd guess Whelan and Jedinak are interchangeable. Which to me is the right thing to do as without Jedinak last season we were noticeably weaker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as if signings have multiple layers, some of which may have to do with status of the team, suitability to the team, players willingness to join, finances, risk vs reward, attitude required, necessity vs immediate goal etc. I wish I would deal with Aston Villa like FIFA Career mode because i'm pretty good at it. What? I haven't ever stated we're in for Real Madrid youths or that we should be - simply a response to your sarcastic post that people would be more excited about "Whelandinho" or whatever nonsense you said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but most of the time they just turn out to be shit. Prediction: The Glenn Whelan thread will go the way of the ashley Westwood thread quite quickly after we see him play 3 or 4 games.

Rodders Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 signing has grown on me since the rumours first emerged. A good head in the side will help I hope, him, Jedinak and Terry should all be making their presence within the squad known Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'd rather whelen who has played in the top flight for the last 10 years than Gardner who looks like he won a competition to be footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
