Not sure what his issue is missed 5 games in 2 years mate, im sure he doesn't fake injuries as is well documented he is injury prone. was clearly injured against hibs on 27th and still carried on playing. sprinting past people isn't his game but he still runs a lot more than most when he plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys a snake, extremely slow, naturally unfit, injury prone and most importantly a loser. He will never be a player outwith Scotland. he openly admitted to going about things the wrong way but who could blame him? playing under a coach who had no clue, players who didn't play for the badge and he knew he could get more money elsewhere. hes not the quickest player in the world but certainly not slow. you must've been some player when you were younger if you rate him that badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowestjambo Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 On his current form he certainly will not be missed. His attitude of late has been very poor, and shown up by Cochrane & McDonald who showed what willingness and enthusiasm is required. He is 100% to blame for his damaged reputation with the ridiculous rangers comments. Sad to see a promising young player leave, but I don't think he ended up being as good as we thought he would be!

He was wildly inconsistent, and often hid and shirked his way through games. I think the problem with Miko and Chesny was where they played, on the left they had Takis to play with and on the right it was Robbie which is a world of difference. Jamie is also inconsistent and rarely fit enough to play 90 minutes. I wish him all the best but I feel he will back up here within two years at a bottom 6 club.

socrates82 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 2 hours ago, Taffin said: Everyone is entitled to their opinion and welcome to debate that of course. Walker better than Driver is akin to arguing the earth is flat though in my opinion. Driver, Miko and co were more traditional wingers. Walker can also play centrally or behind the strikers and has done well there. Maybe we shouldn’t compare them, but that, plus his goals to games ratio and ability to hit a free kick makes Walker a more effective player for Hearts than the others. Driver was never the same after his injury, but was much more of a fast winger than Walker. i agree with someone else, the last year has made people forget that Walker has been a very good player for us - a very big part of the revival since admin up to the start of 2017 when everything went pete tong on the pitch for us.

Going from Scotland's beautiful capital city where he's been playing in front of crowds in excess of 16000 to a club based in the arse-end of nowhere who struggle to get 10000 most weeks.

Would have almost czertainly won the championship one if we hadn’t had three nominees whereas Hibs just had Allan. Walker had more goals and assists than Allan IIRC True but I don't think he was exceptional. I think driver would have stood out at that level to a much greater degree. The other two also. I'm not running Jamie down; he has been at times a very good player. I just don't think he's near the level of driver or will have the career success the other two have experienced.

Zico Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Despite the fact he’s been shite for the last year, I wish him well - he was a good player for us up til then. I’m glad he’s moving on though as his performances have not been good enough for far too long. The young players in the team would do well to look at him as an example of how not to handle things when you’re looking to move on. In complete contrast with people like Neil McCann and Paul Hartley who are still universally loved despite moving onto the OF. And they should also avoid his agent like the ****ing plague.

letsalldothebeattie Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Genuinely quite surprised by the amount of hate or anemosity towards Jamie. I didn’t think as many of our support was against him. Yes I will agree towards the end he has frustrated me because I know he’s got the talent to be a consistent top player for us and any side from Championship etc but he hasn’t shown that regularly enough lately. But you can’t forget he has been a good servant to this club and given us some of the finest performances by a player in the last few years at Tynie.

bajthejambo Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I hope he has a successful time at Wigan and the deal is one that will help him support his young family. He's sadly not kicked on since the Championship apart from one run of games between the end of 15/16 and the start of 16/17. His handling of the proposed move to Rangers was poor and frustrating for us supporters. I don't blame players, particularly those who play in Scotland, from seeking a move that will treble their income. There's a way to go about it though. As is stands we won't miss him as he's not been contributing much of late. The money will help to shape the squad in one way or another too. There are plenty of young talents to be excited about at Hearts at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
