Bighenry Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Fair play to the boy. A hearts fan who wasn't at the time good enough to play for us. Had to move down a division to get game time.Time will tell if he can be at the level required to play at the top end of the premier league. Can't see what he's done wrong.hope he scores on Saturday. Personally I don't think he showed enough with us to merit more starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Check my posts before spouting off lad. I was confirming what numerous Rangers fans (who regularly attend games) had said about Holt's (in their opinion) POTY performances. Lad So you are going by here say whereas you are slagging someone for judging by watching him play? cheers lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy T Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 It's actually a valid reason for hibs not standing a chance. Wallace is the Rangers captain is he not? Holt will give his all. Wilson in defence. These guys have spent their time sliding one up the hibs wearing the maroon. It will mean a lot to them. Sorry but Wilson in defence gives hibs every chance he's a bomb scare for rangers!!

Jammy T Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 So basically it's Robbie's (or Levein's) way or the highway! This new regime policy will definitely show the player who the boss is - unfortunately it will also throw really promising young players out the door, instead of working with them on an individual basis to find a way of getting the best out of them. To be fair Locke didn't play him much either. That was his key development year like the rest of them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomaso Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Lad So you are going by here say whereas you are slagging someone for judging by watching him play? cheers lad! "watching him play" in a couple of games covered by TV or Listening to pals with good football knowledge who regularly attend Rangers games home and away throughout the season?? Think I'll stick to the latter. Cheers Lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomaso Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Player wouldn't sign contract offered Club release him Take a reduced development fee to allow him to sign for a skint club Lad does ok in second tier Djoum or Holt? No contest Djoum every time Only room for one creative midfielder in the squad then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomaso Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Oh, I seem to have missed him signing a new contract last year! Is he only on loan at Rangers? Eh? You said he didn't want to stay and develop at Hearts. THAT was wrong. Jason saw his career at Hearts. The reason he ended up signing for Rangers was that Hearts (Levein) didn't fancy him as he was too "lightweight" and as such made him a token contract offer that he was never going to accept.

Thomaso Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 What do you mean by that? I know for a fact he wanted to sign for Forest when Locke was still manager. He wasn't for hanging about at Hearts, couldn't wait to get away from us as far as I could see. You know that for a fact? Spoken to Jason have you? I have on numerous occasions.

Maybe he did but I pretty much know it for a fact aye. I don't want to mention anybody but he's from my town and I know someone close to him. He was keen to go when Forest wanted him. I don't blame him either it was life changing money he was getting offered. I'd have been the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spoken to him on 2 or 3 occasions in 'Stags' (you will know the pub) - first time I met him I bought him a pint after he scored that cracker against Rangers. As you say if any Club comes in offering big money then any player has to be interested, however the Forest thing came to nothing. Jason saw his future at Hearts, however much to his disappointment he felt that he was not the type of player that the new regime at Hearts wanted.

Not being funny but maybe you should meet in Stags and discuss it? It's been done to death on here. At present no one knows if it was a mistake or not. No Scotland caps, no further appearances in the top league, no transfer. It came to pass this morning we had David Soria on trial and let him go, he just won the Europa League with Sevilla. It's football, it happens. But in the case of Holt nothing has happened yet and there is no proof he is better than Djoum. Next season will reveal all.

As you admit, you haven't seen him play since he left. Other than him coming across as a nice young guy and 'Hearts man' I have based my opinions on the promise Holt showed whilst at Hearts. The first time I saw him play was in an under 17 friendly game against Penicuik. I did not know any of the Hearts players at the time, however after 20 minutes I asked a guy who our number 10 was because he was head and shoulders above the rest - it was Jason Holt. Whilst he did not set the heather on fire, he showed enough outstanding basic ability to be one for Hearts to nurture and develop. For whatever reason that did not happem - I think we will regrert that but of course I may be wrong. As I don't follow Rangers, my current opinion on how he is playing is based on the comments from various Rangers acquaintances who follow them home and away - they said he was putting in POTY performances.

Jammy T Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 He wasn't a star with us - but he could have developed into one! All opinions - next season will tell all. Thing is Holt had been in and around the first team since McGlynn. So McGlynn and then Locke had a big influence in Holt's progress. - or lack thereof. During this period of uncertainty Holt, it seems to me, was definitely of the mind that he wanted to leave. I think to package everything that happened with Holt's departure as down to the current regime not trying enough is a bit simplistic. If he wasn't fully committed, didn't buy into things etc the right thing was what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where he continues to develop into the player he looked he could be when I used enjoy watching him play for the U19's. Even though he wanted to stay, no player is going to sign a poor contract offer. You are right the terms offered were no improvement on the contract he signed when he was much younger. That was the problem. Where do you get the impression he is moving down south next season?

Going round in circles here - yes he got a contract offer - that contract offer was the same as the previous one he signed as a very young player - it was always going to be rejected and TBH I think that was the intention of Hearts management. IMO he had shown more than enough excellent natural football ability to be given a decent offer to allow him to stay and develop as a player.
