We’ve ended up paying a lot of money in wages for players who have contributed nothing, or very little. As said earlier, I like him but think injuries finished him years ago. If we do sign him, it can only be because he is fit and able to make an immediate contribution.

Folk need to remember that he’s only 22 and support the lad. He’s shown a few moments of brilliance and hopefully he can build on that next season.

Hearts1975 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Would take him back if for example he states that he made a mistake back in 2017, had his head turned etc cutting off our nose to spite our face would be plain daft maybe if he has had a wake up call he will work harder knowing that it’s best to take nothing for granted re the injury situation hopefully he is past the worst - it’s always a risk he undoubtedly has a lot of talent and can score goals in this league. if he genuinely has learned a hard lesson in recent times he is a player who gets us as a club - a more head screwed on Jamie walker I wouldnt be adverse to him returning at all - with the caviat of having a different mentality this time round!

Geoff the Mince Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I don't see how a workshy manchild who's hardly kicked a ball in 2 seasons will improve us . It was always downhill for him once he left us and he's done nothing football wise since . Those slagging Clare are obviously forgetting the latter stages of Walkers time and his Spell in England where he couldn't come off the bench in England's 3rd tier .

sandylejambo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 He's a very good player when in the mood, but the fact we're saying things like " change attitude and over his injuries" is worrying, we have taken a punt on too many players recently and they mostly are still waiting to come good, we need players that are known to be fit, have it and are always in the mood. So not for me at this time, we need players who have no maybe,s about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name is Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Walker was in the position to get a hefty contract which we were never going to match. Every player is going to take this option if available. Obviously things should have been handled better on his side. If walker was to find his form again he would undoubtedly improve the ream.

mrrossy Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 No thanks. Although he has ability, he has no pace, is injury prone and his attitude in the last 6 months of his time with us was shocking. His deliberate sending off (forget who it was against, maybe Rangers) is one of the most stupid and selfish things I've seen a Hearts player do.

In term of quality, even the lame Jamie Walker at the end of his previous stint with us was head and shoulders anything we’ve seen from Clare so far. I agree mate. If Clare ever gets to double figures in goals in a season (I hope he will) which Jamie did a few times then we can maybe compare them. I’d imagine people would be portraying Clare as a million pound player if that happened but Walker was a lazy shite. Atm Walker was head and shoulders the more effective and likely would still be. Clare frustrates the life out of me. I reckon in his own head he’s a good player but he doesn’t show it. He seems to lack desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonraker Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Walker had some good times at Hearts, he then lost his way, never worked out at Wigan, these things happen...never worked out at Peterborough in a league where even James Collins can thrive.

Absolute Scenes Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I’m on the fence with this one when Walker was to have “downed tools” it was after he’d had to endure a torrid time as did the rest of the team, under Cathro. Morale was low, and Levein had just taken over so his head probably was turned at the prospect of getting out of the rut we were in. Therefore this probably affected his football and mentality. having said that, if he was to come back, he’d need to show that he was willing to put double the effort in, and really show the fans he’s committed. I would never boo the lad or shout abuse at him, but there is obvious tension because of his decisions. Again some players are just suited to certain clubs, and even though he hasn’t done much since leaving, I still think he could be a valuable player with the likes of better players round him, like. Berra and Naismith and even Uche. if he comes back I won’t be against it, but he’s a lot of making up and proving to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
