Steviedebo Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Correct, it does look like him. But it isn't him. I concur, although he's not bothered his arse since the sevco game in February, that photo isn't him...a dead spit though...it's some west coast hun that is a dead ringer....although granted by his recent performances and unwillingness to sign a new contract you could be mistaken...jawline and shape of head are slightly different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Not saying it will happen and based on recent form it won't, but if Walker rattles in a brace against Aberdeen the weekend can we stop the debate about whether he once wore a Rangers scarf?

Watt-Zeefuik Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 FWIW, while it's not a clear shot, the boy in the scarf appears to have attached earlobes vs the photos of Walker where they're clearly detached.

Sydney Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 If every youth player we developed behaved as disloyal to Hearts like Jamie has there would be no emphasis to develop youth in the first place. Most players show a lot more respect don't let people on here convince you every player Is like Walker. Jamie Walker has played 140 games for Hearts over 5 years and scored about 40 goals. Other youth players we have brought through include: Paul Ritchie 133 appearances then left Alan Johnston 84 appearances then left Gary Naysmith 96 appearances then left Lee Wallace 139 appearances then left Craig Gordon 139 appearances then left Dave Bowman 116 appearances then left None of them stayed as long as Walker. Were they less loyal to Hearts? Even PHM like Robbo, Scott Severin and Gary Locke left us (only having played a few more matches than Walker has). Loyalty? Doesn't exist really. Players move on all the time. But.....back to your point - a youth set-up which brings through players of this quality and we get 100+ games out of them? That, for me, is a good youth system, and if we happen to get some transfer fees as well, then even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hopefully he starts on Saturday and gets back on the scoresheet. I think we would get the best out of him if he was to play further forward - sort of position Rudi used to play in his second spell. Waste of his talent to play him as deep as he has been for the past couple of seasons. Get him on the ball just outside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy T Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Not sure where people are getting the idea he'll get some sort of bumper deal from Rangers. He's backed himself into a corner and has absolutely no bargaining power. He's out of contract, no one else is knocking his agents door and it appears Rangers are his club of choice. Rangers will pay him slightly more than he would've got here had he signed his new deal. Any talk of life changing money is way off, he'll be slightly better off but he'll likely last about 2 years and end up on a lot less at a Dundee or the likes. And of course this all depends on what's happening at Rangers come January or the summer. A change in manager, a change in finances anything could happen that means Walker will be left clubless come the summer. More importantly for the Rangers board what will signing Walker achieve, he won't win them the league, will he even be the difference between 2nd and 3rd...not so sure myself. And if he or his agent thinks Levein will put up with any nonsense from him they're way off the mark. He'll be lucky to get on the training pitch if he's not putting it in.

Waste of his talent to play him as deep as he has been for the past couple of seasons. Get him on the ball just outside the box. Have you been to any of the games this season? He's intentionally hiding from the ball and not making any effort to run into space. He's a waste of a jersey in any position. He should stay out of the team till his attitude in training proves that he's still got the desire to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information is gained from this situation happening to a number of players. He will get a basic not much more than his new deal at Hearts were worth. The rest made up in bonuses, which he'll need to earn through playing. If he or that agent of his think different they're living on the moon. Rangers are skint and Walker is worth nothing now. His option are leave hearts rendering him clubless therefore desperate. Or sign with a sell on clause and hope Rangers really do want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendricks Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Nothing is certain in football and there is every chance Rangers decide against signing him. They may need to use whatever money they do have on a different area of the team, they may be under so much pressure due to how far behind Celtic they are they need a bigger signing, the coach may be sacked and someone with his own targets brought in, they may look at Walker and realize he hasn't kicked a ball in 12 months. Lots of scenarios whereby he doesn't move to Rangers. If he continues to **** Hearts about and perform like he couldn't care less he's playing a very dangerous game as there was so little interest in him throughout the summer and Rangers clearly didn't want him that much!

upgotheheads Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The thing that puzzles me about Jamie is that anyone who knows the role that the old Rangers and the new club have played in Scotland's social problems would want to have anything to do with them, especially if you have enough talent to do much better. If the lad just doesn't want to leave Scotland for personal reasons then too bad, but if he lacks the imagination to see better opportunities elsewhere then that's sad.

Yes I'm sure the players who have signed for them have had that thought prior to signing...........they'll have weighed up the pros and cons and guess what money won out. They are professional football players and as such money is the main driving force not a social conscience Fans are always telling us about things like that but in their own lives they would move jobs in a heartbeat for 2 or 3 times their salary without a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
