Spencer Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 We were in administration and he was out of contract. Webster, Barr and a large number of players could have done the same, but let's be realistic - they were never going to, and that was more than likely mutual between skint club and out of contract player(s). Ok that's fine. I'm inclined to agree given the circumstances But why all the ex player luv in and clamour to see anything that's worn the shirt return. These guys have all done their bit - some more than others. Time to move on and look forward IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I think he'll fail at Ibrox as he did at Leeds. The flaw in his game, lapses in concentration, still exists and that will inevitably lead to blunders and concession of goals- hopefully against Hearts. He'll eventually be dropped because there's no Romanov there to insist otherwise. Zaliukas improved greatly when he had the composure and direction of Andy Webster playing alongside him, IMO, and deserves his place in Hearts' history but It doesn't bother me at all that he's gone elsewhere.

ERJEAN51 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Big Zal wasn't very good. He spent half his time driving around town in that weird looking Lithuanian white Merc smoking fags. Did not rate him at Hearts, we have had far better centre halves in my 30 odd years watching the Jambo's. He'll get sent of a couple of times, score a few o.g's and give away 4 or 5 pens.

Jambos_1874 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I am always sickened when one of our ex-players signs for The Hun. Say what you like about Hibs and even Celtic, but they are the most detestable club in Scottish football by a distance. Zaliukas will never have the same passion and dedication towards them as he did for Hearts and I'm sure he' just going there for a decent wage in the latter part of his career. I'll bet that if/when he lines up against us on the first match of the season that he'd rather be in a Hearts strip! Although he is liable to the odd disaster (sometimes of Zibi or Makalamby proportions), he is still a very good defender and will cope no bother with Scottish Championship football. I can't see him being too comfortable with rapid players like Carrick, Nicholson, Patterson and Keatings (he's reasonably fast...I think) running at him and they should be able to expolit the fact that he is not quick at all. It's players like Wallace that we need to worry about as he is one of the few Hun players that I actually rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 His last 'mare-ish' moment in a Hearts jersey was giving away a penalty and being sent off at Easter Road, early 2011? Apart from his showboating at Ayr that lost us a LC tie in late 2011 and his errors v Livi in the same competition a year later, one which led to him being booked and the other a goal? The booking, when added to the one in the semi had ruled him out of the final before injury ended his season. That's just two games I can think of when he wanted to, or felt he could, just stroll through games. Seems he felt Sheff Wed were below his level as well and there will be lots of Championship games he'll feel this way about. I think we've dodged a bullet here by him not coming back to us.

Jamhammer Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sadly I think this's an excellent signing for them. I really like him as a player and with the added protection from refs he'll get playing for one of the OF I think he'll be a great player for them. Sad but will always be a place in my heart for him.

Andy Nips Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Scotland international Don Cowie? He was a good player when he was up here. Yes, he's rejected a new deal at Cardiff City and available on a free. Rangers obviously looking to sign the best and most experienced players out there. There's no chance they can afford to not go up this year. Let's just hope their clown of a manager manages to **** things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
