Glamorgan Jambo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Walker hasn't covered himself in Glory but he's also said effectively nothing as well. It's the hype from fans and family members defending him that has led to a lot of hostility. A few ambiguous Instagram photos (mixed in with plenty blatantly pro Hearts pictures) is all you can accuse him off. Performances on the pitch may be another matter. Not trying or his mind being elsewhere? He's still our player for the next 6 months at least so let's hope he can stick in for the new manager to our benefit. I highly doubt his dad said what he did off his own bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The club has handled it as well as they could in the circs. There is only one blameless party here and that's Hearts. We didn't ask him to down tools and get all stiff about a move to ipox. We never encouraged him or his family to make an arse of themselves on social media. We corrected lies. We never asked for level 5 to make up stories or pretend we were holding the poor huns to ransom.we set a price but they weren't prepared to pay it. **** them. A perfect summation. With the **** them the most perfect part of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendricks Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 He would 100% take option 2 and be advised to do so! The cleaning boots aside! We aren't ever making money from Jamie Walker. He has been available for relative sweeties and not one English club has been interested. Clubs in the Championship who are splashing out millions upon millions not even giving him a 2nd glance. Not even Neilson the league below that interested! Nah, we won't make any dough from him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punks No Deid Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 This. There's no chance they're gonna say Sevco didn't have the cash to sign Walker and that's the simple truth of the matter. I'd never abuse Walker but I've no sympathy for him as he's not the loser- Hearts have paid his salary for long enough while he delivers the square root of nothing. Usual stuff from Sevco, unsettle the player with a derisory offer and play brinksmanship while his form goes down the pan and then steal him at the last minute. Obviously they didn't want him that much. Over to you Jamie. I concur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrahim Tall Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 This is way out of order How exactly? I couldn't give a toss what she's said or have any care in writing similar crap as she's wrote on social media. My point is that if she's stupid enough to condemn an entire support and write abuse about it then she shouldn't be surprised if you few write back. Given the current situation with her brother it's as idiotic to involve herself as punching a wasps nest and being surprised to get stung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Levein did believe Rangers would eventually meet the ?1mill given the spending that appeared to be going on, when in fact this was never going to happen. As somebody else effectively pointed out, its not good business to spend a million you dont have, when in 4 months it wont cost a penny to offer that same player a contract.
