Stevo985 Posted January 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2019 Yeah I think any sniff of renewing his contract would be foolish. I think he's vastly underrated by a lot of fans, but he's still very limited, and he shouldn't be a regular starter for us. He'd be much better limited to coming on late and seeing out games rather than us relying on him for a whole game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His a shadow of even the player he was last season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Obviously has a good football brain, wonder if he’s got thoughts of going into coaching when finished? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why I thought he was 31/32. Its nearly 10 years now since he scored the goal which started our collapse under MON 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I watched him when he came off against Swansea, I watched him as he sat down on the bench shaking his head, looking mildy relieved. It was the look of a man who is truly done and very aware his time is up. WHY TO CHRIST SMITH IS PLAYING HIM IS BEYOND ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2019 Looked lively when he first came on but ruined it with that calamity for their penalty. Bizarre decision to bring him on in the circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdabush Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Absolutely shocking player. A central midfielder who can’t defend and keeps getting games despite being dreadful in all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 He's shit yes, but what do you expect him to do when he's brought on to turn a one goal deficit around? He's not the sort of player who's going to affect things for us that way. I certainly want him out of the club, but I cannot begin to imagine what on earth Smith was thinking.

OutByEaster? Posted January 12, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2019 Unless we buy one, he's going to be in our match day squads until Grealish or Lansbury come back. We have four midfielders and three of them have to start each game. Three of these four isn't enough - we should probably be looking at ways to get all of them on the pitch at the outset. In summary; I don't think Whelan is good enough, I think we need to find ways to have him start games. Our midfield is horrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Would rather have a midfielder from our U23's given a try than persisting with a dog turd Glenn Whelan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really am struggling to find a midfield that's capable of holding the middle of the park without playing all four of our fit midfielders. I could drop him in a: Bree----Chester-----Elphick-----Hause-----Hutton --------McGinn----Hourihane---Bjarnason------------ ------------------Abraham-----Davis-------------------------- But even then, that midfield would need a lot of support from Bree and Hutton.
