SSN: "Hangeland has no exit plans"

Amidst all of the hoopla surrounding the match on the weekend I wonder how many people caught this:

"Some people in football are too keen to move on all the time," Hangeland told The Sunday Times "When you come to a club and think, 'This is a nice place, good people, good fans, doing well', those should be reasons to stay."

I don't think enough is said about this guy and his open commitment to us. With all of the uncertainty surrounding some of our key players this is sure to be a tense week. Which is why it's good to know that at least one of them recognizes a good situation when they find one. Thank you Brede! 

I think I'm going to get me a #5 shirt next...

What a complete legend Brede is, I feared he was a 'Roy man' and would be out the door as soon as Roy went, but what a great guy, well done Brede!!

This is truly something lost in the modern footballing world... I think all these high wage earners forget what it is to be a team and how much you truly have to love your teammates in order for a club to punch above their suspected weight... I reckon that there is an amazing amount of togetherness with in our squad.

What a breath of fresh air, a player that wants to stay with his club. Brede is the man! More players need to take after him.  :54:

"Some people in football are too keen to move on all the time,"

Is he talking about Roy?  Just wondering out loud...

Hangeland treats the game as a job he enjoys but not one to have that many sleepness nights over. If he likes where he is then he has no feeling in going to another club. He is only rare in the football world because he wants to enjoy the game and not chase honours and end up with nothing.

I read the article (no links as the ST is now a pay to view site). It was a full page article and Brede came across as a very nice bloke. He enjoys walking around his neighbourhood where few recognise him and I think he would feel uncomfortable at a big club where he became a celebrity. Can't see him moving on.

I can't think of ANY player in the world I'd swap Brede for.

On balance, I'd rather we kept him here than Woy.

As a man, he's pure class as well.

We love you, big fella!!   :004:

A. Crysell with the man-crush on the Norwegian Giraffe!

Really refreshing to read the big guys comments.  That was fantastic that he was able to redeem himself, within the same  game too!  Hope there is more of those type headers this season...

yeah i thought this as well. i mean he's still on 30 or 40 grand a week so we aren't paying him a pittance but his loyalty is really nice to see. let's hope he's here for a few years yet.
