Good man. I'll pm you if anything exciting happens

[Riddley Walker]

Nah, keep him for the rest of the season and get the development fee in the summer.

He's got a bairn now. Maybe he's ready to focus on football and home and not much else?

 

I think most of all he just wants to see what life is like beyond Tynecastle. I don't know him or his cousin or his doppleganger in the Rangers scarf or his grade school teacher but he strikes me as the kind of player who'd try his hand in England for a while and in a few years come back to Hearts.

Don’t think you are too far off the mark. I’d definitely see him as more comfortable in Wigan than Seville... to each their own:

He’s too old us to be eligible for a development fee, would rather get a bit of money now.

100% no development fee, don’t know what makes you think otherwise 

[Hendricks]

Would be a brilliant deal for Hearts at this stage. I would sell him to Rangers for that fee never mind Wigan however we know they are hardly likely to stump up the cash!  If he's the standard Rangers are continuing to look at in January or the summer then excellent news, it means run well we should be competing with them for the forseeable. He's proven to be an extremely average contributor at SPL level.

Riddley’s such a wee scamp.

Development fee will pay for filling in the corners and signing Zap Knight, I heard from a guy in Peebles...

Agreed. Was a choice between alleged part payments and maybe getting a lot out of him between August and January. So was worth the risk before if were getting offered 300k in full now then if hes willing to go its a no brainer I think. Its a difficult one going to rangers aswell now. Murty til summer then who knows and he might or might not be in the new managers plans. 

[indianajones]

I'll wade in with my usual Walker comments.

 

See ya snake. Accept this and get rid of this poison from our club.

 

 

[Bazzas right boot]

If he doesn't re-sign, take it.

Short Round was honest and above most, a loyal kid.

 

Cannot say the same for the snake Walker. 

 

On a serious note. I actually despise the guy. Get him shipped.

Current no idea who Holt has an agent Ryder.

[Cruyff Turn]

Wigan will be a Championship side next season no doubt, so this would be a cracking move for his career. If he goes on to fulfil his potential down there, he could earn himself a lot more money than he would at Sevco and possibly caps for his Country.

To each their own my friend. Absolutely. How many times a year do you reckon the first photo will have that lovely blue sky and sunshine though?

 

The second one however? Oh, my.

[Captain Canada]

His performances in 2017 have, with a few exceptions, been woeful. 

 

Why anyone would pay £300k for him is beyond me. We should take it and put it towards Milinkovic or Cadden.

Correct.

Going by his performances and injuries this year £300,000 is great money.

Dick Turpin spring's to mind.

[Arshavin]

aye he's maybe on a dip with us but people saying he's shite need a good look at themselves.  If goes down there he will do well. 

 

[Maroonblood22]

I'm gonna go all out here and predict that Jamie's career goes downhill from here. I've seen nothing from him this season to suggest he has the pace or application to make it the Championship (assuming Wigan get promoted) and will only be a matter of time before he needs to come back up to be close to his hun pals.

[Captain Bubblebeard]

I wanted us to cash in on Jamie a couple of years ago. My logic then was that he needed to get a fresh start to see if he could really kick on to the next level - if so, happy days; he progresses his career and we would, back then, have got a decent wedge of compensation. My suspicion though was that he is the sort of player that fits here and may not go much further than being a v good player at our level, and that if any move did fail, he’d be a likely candidate to return here at the end of his contract/on loan/for a nominal fee - if so, again, happy days - decent cash and good chance of good player back sooner rather than later.

My opinion hasn’t really changed bar the fact that the cash we’ll get now is nowhere near as decent as we’d have got previously (and yes, I realise that an offer would’ve been needed to execute my Plan A, which perhaps wasn’t forthcoming).

Bit irrelevant what they bid as i doubt he will leave . Pretty certain he will wait till the summer. Looks like we are getting shafted on this one I'm afraid . 

[TheBigO]

Are we remembering he’d have to want to go there!?

 

I’d personally prefer him to sign a 2 year deal with us but i guess that’s doubtful.

 

Otherwise anything approaching 500k from a non-rival seems a good deal. Cards aint in our hands though.

Correct. Can’t imagine his missus, will want to up sticks to Wigan with the new bairn.

Nah, not having that, sorry. Playing beside a player the quality of Tsziolis held Walker back, aye? 

 

Having to share a dressing room with a player that even the management were calling “the Greek millionaire” probably didn’t help. 

[tazhearts]

Take the 300k and use it to try and buy Lewis Morgan from St. Morten.

I’d bite their hand off for that too. As long as it isn’t in instalments. 

I'm one of those that would happily lose him to Wigan for £300k 

However had the thread been about Rangers offering £500k, I'd tell them to stick it.

 

I'm just bitter that way

Is the bairn not about 5 now ?...I recall JW with child at the championship winning walk about..

if he doesn’t go to Wigan next month and waits till summer for Sevco, then I expect him to sit on his backside for the next six months kicking his heels, one thing the last few games have shown is Hearts will get by just fine without Jamie Walker.

The Greek was a good footballer but he didn't give a **** the majority of the time he was on the pitch. 

[mir00005]

£300k for a player that only turns up one every 10 games or so. Deal

 

Especially since he can walk for £0 in 6 months.

 

Then use part of that money to finally cut all ties with Connor Sammon.

[jamboruss]

Take it and use the dosh to secure Skinny's signature!

[whytebeard]

Absolute no brainier. Take it and run.

we would be lucky to get 300k considering what he has done this calander year.

should try to get a sell on clause on the deal. In the event he does ok there, we could land some wonga.

 

good luck when he goes, don't fault anyone looking to increase their salary

Agreed. We need to capitalise if we can. We can't afford to throw away £300K.

[Deevers]

A real tester for Jamie now. Does he go south or does he sit it out and go to the Zombies in the summer.  That's if they are still around.

Snag is, he's got to agree to go. Even with a big wage hike, I'm not sure I'd want to live in Wigan. It's not a bad place but hardly the centre of things.

It's a calamity that we should be in this position in the first place. The guy can't even get a regular start for the bottom team in the league and we give him a 3+ year deal and we are talking about paying out money to get rid.

 

Hopefully those days are long gone now and we start making decent signings now.
