south inch Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 I think the point is it's not in the press/media, just our own social media/website. When he signed for Hertz it was front page news. Nobody gives a damn about Saints except Saints fans. To be fair I don't give a damn about many clubs apart from Saints. ex-montrosesaintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Knee jerk because Tommy had to get someone in, he was an easy target. Most fans remember what he was doing for the short while he was here and properly fit. Takes the heat off the fact there was no-one else on the radar, even though it was almost certain this deal was going through early on.Well, I hope also that he can prove himself.... I remain to be convinced.We've been after Swanson for ages, with or without O'Halloran. It's pretty much the exact opposite of a knee-jerk signing.

Kilgour Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I cant see how Saints can get him any fitter than Hearts ,other than playing him in the first team.He has been available and on the bench recently ,just not selected.Welcome back,and good luck Danny.

babychunder Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Really hope he works at it here and does well for us.Reports from the Pink Bus Shelter do not augur well though. The guys on KickBack mention bad attitude, poor work rate, bad discipline, a set-to with Nielsen, lots of moaning, lack of match fitness. Others, more reasonably, lament the lack of chances he got to prove himself - only had 9 games on show.You can put up with someone spiky if he plays well. Attitude and discipline can be coped with. The fitness will need some real attention and hard work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fitness will need some real attention and hard work though.Hearts don't have Steven MacLean, I imagine he sorts out any bad attitudes in the squad pretty quickly.Seriously though I think, as has been said, that perhaps the team and management just weren't right for him. Perhaps he thought the extra money could compensate for this but has decided it can't/ At the end of the day Swanson has come out and said his wife played a big part, she will know him better than any fans and if she was able to compare his mental state when he was at Saints with when he was at Hearts and came to the conclusion Saints was a better move then perhaps we'll see him perform better than Hearts did.

blueheaven Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Wright knows Swanson pretty well now and obviously knows he can work with him, so I wouldn't have many worries about the guy's attitude. If his attitude was a problem, I doubt we would have spent the last six months (on and off) trying to sign him.

Guest ScottMann Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 If his attitude and such was bad then I doubt Levein would have re-signed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 When you watch his Utd highlight reel on the first page of this thread, and watch the highlights of the game at dens last season, you see how two-footed he is, how creative and how fast when running with the ball.Dont think we'll see it this weekend, but the prospect of watching a fit and in-form Swanson and young whippet Thomson on either wing, with Maclean and Zippy through the middle, is really exciting..

Pat McGroin Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Don't think his attitude is bad. He is just completely the opposite of what Neilson seems to like in a player croc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Hearts are a more skillful and pacey version of Hamilton. They are dirty, waste time and basically do whatever is necessary to get the points. There head coach comes across exactly that way in his interviews as well. Not a complaint, more an observation.The fact that Swanson didn't fit into that regime is no massive indictment on his footballing ability for me. 541ntees and Mr T 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat McGroin Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 That's what I was getting at. Neilson loves pace, power, physicality and stamina in his players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Yeah, we know Swanson is a good fit here, and wasn't at Hearts. It's that simple IMO. Welcome home Danny. croc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Center Half Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 That's what I was getting at. Neilson loves pace, power, physicality and stamina in his players. Do you actually believe Neilson is the boss at Hearts, he is only a figure head for Levein so that he can still pick up his garden leave wage from the SFA and still manage hearts.
