Beale convinced Hjelde to sign

[nessen]

I get that the DOF will select potential players but this is the first time under this regime that I’ve heard of the manager get involved in convincing a player to come.

My take on this is that previous managers maybe wanted a more clear division between roles with them not choosing the players, whereas Beale is more on board with helping the club get players in.

Was impressed with him on Sunday.

A few signings under Mowbray said they’d spoken to him a good few times. I remember Triantis saying it for example.

I thought he was excellent on Sunday like. Reading the comments, most were generally positive, but not as good as I thought being there. Looks very different on the telly.

 

[zidanny]

Love Beale me like

 

[Teed]

Looks a decent, solid defender.

Also sold him a second hand BMW

Made a few mistakes buts as debuts go he did very well, especially given he’d literally just arrived.

No doubt the usual doom mongers will be along soon to put some kind of bleak spin on this.

 

[G Force]

Looks a good prospect for us. Thought he did well on his debut and handled the occasion well. Never hid either when it got tough in that second half

 

[Coeus]

Ill have you know that Tone was instrumental in getting Dack and Burstow in.

 

[RichD]

He's had to hit the ground running which might not be a bad thing...

EEeeeeeeeee well maybe Beale is an asset,my god .

Can't be true. Players hate Micky B.

 

[Arkle]

I thought he made a decent to good debut. Solid defensively, looks decent in the air. Lost the ball occasionally, generally when trying to be positive. Seems to like getting forward.

That article is a little ambiguous. Firstly, it looks like he didn’t know about our interest until not much time before he signed. Secondly, it doesn’t say if his first conversation with Beale was before or after he signed.

Still, a good acquisition and he seems impressed with us so far, so some positives all round.

To be fair he might do in a month

Was nice to see some positive quotes. Liked the “being brave” part

 

[Wild Card]

Don't really believe anything the club put out these days so I will take it with a dumpy bag of salt.

That being said, I thought Hjelde had an excellent debut. Good defensively and good with that ball. Full back cannot be an easy position for a predominately ch player who has been out of the first team but he did very well. Looked tired towards the end but that is to be expected.

Think we have a good player there.

Yep
I’ll go with ‘If only they’d let Tony get involved’

Aye like he did with Dack
