Don't lets kid ourselves he is a very good player and will do well where ever he goes Do you think there is any chance of him changing his mind and signing a new contract at Hearts ? The reason I ask is that people have said that Jamie's lapse in form was because he was being expected to carry the team. With our young players starting to force their way into the team and things generally beginning to look positive again a fit and positive minded Jamie Walker could be the start of an exciting era at Tynecastle.

Good points TBF and I would love him to sign again but I don't think he will but here's hoping but as I say no gripes from me he always tried his best and before anyone comes in yes I know he didn't always play well but who does. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Brown Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Read page 1 and 4 only My take is to accept the deal, but the decision lies entirely with Jamie. If he has no interest in going, that is it. I think he will hold out for Sevco. At worst, he then has Summer to find another club if it doesn't materialize.

In that case the £300k is more appealing if it can be reinvested into the team. It is a difficult call really...say for example it was felt that Jamie could be the difference between 3rd and 5th/6th then it presents a challenge. You also need to factor in how much qualifying for Europe, etc. would add to the pot. (extra match receipts the following season)... I would hate to be a Finance Director for a football club.

OTT Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 If he wants to go down South, he goes with my best wishes. He gets to compete at a higher level and hopefully challenge himself to better the player he was last season. I really hope he takes the move because he could really improve elsewhere. Like others, I'd have loved to see him play his entire career at Hearts and become a true 'legend' however that evidently is not to be. The huns need to be challenging Celtic and Jamie Walker based on this season isn't going to take them anywhere near to achieving that. I'd be surprised if the huns signed him. As others have said, too inconsistent, too slow and now it seems too injury prone. If he goes down South he gets a fresh start and a blank slate with no ill will from anyone and it leaves the door open for a return later in his career.

I think you need to read up on the circumstances surrounding Andy Webster wishing to leave Hearts. The 2 situations are completely different. If Jamie Walker signs for Wigan next month he won’t be then signing for Rangers in the Summer. Stop looking for something that isn’t there.

RobNox Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 No longer any tie up between Rangers and Wigan anyway. Used to be when Rangers Retail was a tie up with JJB Sports, owned by the Wigan Chairman. Anyway, I can't see Jamie going down there. Seems to be settled in Scotland and I'm sure his bursd wasn't keen to move too far from her family. Besides that, Wigan is a tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say Rangers have received a substantial bid for player X who still has 2 years of his contract to run they may see Walker as a better and cheap replacement. In their financial situation they may find it hard not to sell and the offer might not be on the table come the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Would rather sell him £300k south than £400k to a SPFL rival. I know he wants to stay close to home but honestly I think Walker would do better to get out of Britain. I think he might do better in Germany, Netherlands, or Belgium where they're not going to try to kick him off the pitch every game. All in all though Wigan's not a bad move, much as it does my head in that League One clubs have enough money to buy our best players and managers. I've been happy with how Levein's handled Walker's situation so far and trust him to get the most out of this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamorgan Jambo Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 £300K from a non rival for a player who's out of contract in 6 months is probably okay business, assuming he wants to go of course. £300K in September from a rival wasn't that difficult to turn down especially considering we had no idea what sort of payment terms and conditions were attached.

If he’s going to the Huns in the Summer he can sign a pre contract with them now and sit tight at Hearts until then. With Sevco being skint and desperate maybe taking a sell on fee as payment for his transfer in January may be beneficial. Sevco dont have to cough up money and get a player, Walker gets what he wants and Hearts get some possible form of money in the future. Or Walker and Sevco are happy to just sit for 6 months.

Lucille's Thirsty Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 300K. That’s not bad at all given he can go for free in a few months. Wigan until January next year and back up the road would be my guess. I think he’ll reject that move and wait for Rangers it’s a NAP. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Walker out of all the big games he’s turned up when we play Rangers multiple times. He’s served us well scored a belter against Hibs at Tynie.
