jake Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I'm only amazed that people are amazed that this is playing out like this. It's been a certainty for weeks that Walker and his agent would start ******* Hearts about forcing the move. Hearts should be doing absolutely everything to get rid of him as it's clear we are reliant on the transfer money to finalize our own moves. Sell him and watch his career go down the pan at Rangers whilst the fee helps us secure the likes of Cadden and hopefully facilitate the McGregor move. Walker is now useless to Hearts other than what we can get for him. You are of course right . Pragmatism is the way forward. But those rats from ibrox do this so often and not just to us. I say keep him unless we get 1 million. Send a message out for the future as well. And ban his rat rangers agent from Tynecastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave McCreery's knee Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I dont care if a player wants a move, is disillusioned with other players/results, doesn't get on with management, thinks he's worth more. Whatever. If you have a contract, you have to apply yourself in training and games 100% everytime. From where I sit, Walker hasnt done that and that reflects badly in him, not the club. Especially if true he was made offer to be highest paid player at club. I support management on this and whatever they choose to do next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8skacel8 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Levein has Levein's best interests at heart! Always has, always will do. However I do feel sympathy for him and the club with regard Walker who has acted and played completely unprofessionally for months since having his head turned. The ONLY Hearts player to have started both Hibs replay fiascos, the Birkarkara European shambles and the Peterhead disgrace he'll be missed far less than some have suggested. Nah Jack Hamilton played in all thise games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysthereinspirit Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 If his head isn't in the game for Hearts then sitting him is the correct thing to do. But if we have to lose him then we must hold out for the million quoted unless it's to an English team for slightly less. Newco cannot under any circumstances be allowed to sign him before August 31 for less than 1 million. Hearts need to stand their ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I can see most Hearts fans turning on Jamie now and quite rightly so . This whoring himself to Sevco was bad enough but sandbagging while collecting a decent wages isn't on . I expect a piece in every newspaper on Monday stating how he loves the club and has been treated unfairly. His agent and prob himself have seen an opportunity to step this up in recent days and will try and play the victim card no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12XU Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 My input - I am amazed no Championship clubs are interested ( but tells a story regarding players in the SPL ) Example - the Breadman must have been impressed with JW in the games he managed against Hearts but even his football knowledge must say - no good enough at a higher level - i.e. Notts Forrest have cash to splash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 So the official line (according to Banderson) is that he is not impressing in games or training.)

Whatever JW has done, it's now clear that he's going to be of little use to us. I'm almost at the point of saying 'let the small-minded wee bugger go to Sevco if that's the limit of his ambition' but not quite. Selling Walker to them is one thing. Selling him for the risible repayment package they doubtless have in mind is another matter entirely. I'd accept ?750k if it were in the form of cold cash up front that we could use to improve the team, but Sevco will offer ?250k Max as a deposit, I suspect. If the deal isn't right for the club then I would dig my heels in and say Walker can train with the U20s then. See if Sevco still want him when he hasn't played for a year. Yes, we take a financial hit, but we also make it clear to everyone that we won't be held to ransom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Henry Furst Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 He can sit in the stands for games, train with the Under-20's, and rot. (If all he wants to do is act the tit, and moan about us not accepting Rangers' derisory bids.) Correct Mr President. The club have done all they can and if he continues to act the goat he rots.

OTT Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 If thats his game, either sign an extension or sit in the stands and train solo for the rest of the year. No appearance bonus, no goal bonus. Sure he walks on a free but its a boring year for him. Hopefully highlights that we won't sit by and allow players to dick the club and fans about.

alwaysthereinspirit Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 (*Not a Cathro dig. Honest.) Didn't he go on record and say that the speculation wasn't affecting Walker, and he was training very well? Might be wrong, so happy to be corrected. If so, I wonder what's changed. Cathro mentioned that today. Said things changed recently with regards to his own statement from weeks back on Walkers attitude. Obviously it's getting to him still being at Tynecastle.
