Would have expected him to have got more regular game time at Peterborough, that being the case. Fell out way Peterborough gaffer. Which shows his attitude is still piss poor if anything. A half fit walker is still capable of being a good back up for naisy. What do we pay him though? Because it sure as hell better no be same terms we offered before or better. Has to be lower in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If what you have said is indeed the case, then we would be signing a guy with a poor attitude, who’s happy to sit on the bench, and we would be paying him for the privilege. He was half fit plenty of times in his first spell here, and in fact, there were games where he was fully fit, and he was a waste of time.

jambonian Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 The only reason Walker would come back is to try and get a move yet again to someone else. Walker is just one of a long line of duds that have came through our youth system. Barring Calum Paterson, just about everyone else is only good enough for lower Scots league clubs. Jack Hamilton was and is a very poor goalkeeper, proved that at the weekend by the goals he lost yet again, Billy King has been released from Dundee Utd so will probably end up at a Cowdenbeath or East Fife in future, Brad Mackay never seemed good or composed enough for top tier football, Kevin McHattie, Jordan McGhee, Gary Oliver never made us money and what ever happened to Liam Smith? Dario Zanatta has had more loans than I can remember. Our youth system is pretty poor overall. They reached a level and didn't improve much thereafter. Walker is a prime example. Sam Nicholson is still in America apparently but we never hear of him, these guys should've been knocking on the International door long before now. And there's others. Jamie Walker (if he returns) will use Hearts as another stepping stone to something else. There are plenty half decent players around, i'd bring Gary Mackay-Steven in, someone different, has pace, two-footed, not a bad crosser of the ball on either flank and can score a good amount of goals. Available on a free transfer. We can't expect to be a safety net for players like Walker who thought they were better than they've proved they are.

Maybe Jamie is as shit as he was when he left/has been since and couldn't do a job any more? Maybe he wouldn't want to sit on the bench until Naismith gets injured? Maybe there are far better options out there? If he signs it will be because he wants to knowing he’s second best for his favoured position and the recruitment team see him as the best option. That’s a massive IF though but I certainly wouldn’t be against it considering the majority of our signings seem to be massive gambles.

I want rid of any player that drops their drawers to either of that rancid pair but it didn’t happen and I’ve mellowed over it. We’d probably get him on less than we offered a year or two back and he can push a few players to perform if nothing else. Jamie will still be able to cut it here. On Clare I hope he can improve because I’ll be honest bar his goal at Killie and his penalties I see nothing to get excited about. Still not writing him off but a big performance is needed this Saturday, Levein needs to start demanding performances, he’s been very lenient with him I reckon.

Creating nothing, giving the ball away constantly, bad decision making. Walker was poor towards the end but things were obviously fractious at that point.

He’s played Naismith through a few times and he can pick a through-ball quite well. He has also ghosted past three or four players at times, but he needs to have his tail up at the time. I think he will find consistency, and if he does, I think he will be better than anything we’ve seen from Walker in years.

Gary Mackay Steven would be a good addition I agree?? Hearts are the biggest supported club out-with the old firm. A move to Hearts was always seen as a major thing in past players' careers and should also be seen as a club that should be challenging at the top of the table. If players come here and don't have that foresight then they shouldn't be anywhere near a Hearts top. Aberdeen? Hibs? Meh! That's why players in the past have came here and played with the club for years. Yes, it's great if they do brilliantly and get a move elsewhere in future, as long as they make us money in transfer fees. There are a few decent players kicking about that we should (or could) be looking at. Mackay-Steven is just one name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavman81 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Think this would be great signing if he’s fit TBH. Knows the league and will score goals even in that role behind the striker when hes not reliant on pace. Be a good option if Naismith not available and if Webster and Stevenson can come back with barely a genuine ripple from the fans I see no real problem with Walker returning.

I remember being in a supermarket and after chatting with a Rangers fan I knew, he said as he left "oh by the way...cheers for Danny Wilson!" with a smug look. Wasn't smug when I retaliated and said "you're welcome to him, he'll cost you plenty goals!" few months later bumped into him, I said "how's Danny Wilson getting on?" "He's shite!" was the reply.

He was a great player with eye for goal. Where I am - give him a trial if he's up for it. No harm. For a season or two he was the best young attacking midfielder in the league - David Turnbull level, if a year or so older when he broke through - but we haven't seen much sign of that player for about 2 years. David Templeton showed that players can make comebacks, but I can't help feel this has a bit of an Andy Driver feel about it. Injuries might have taken away what made him a good player.

He was excellent in 15/16 and up until Neilson left in 16/17, after which his form nosedived like everyone else's under Cathro. His goalscoring record in those two seasons was excellent for a midfielder and he played a big role in us getting 3rd and being on track for 3rd again until Neilson left. Very unlucky not to get a Scotland call up that season when you look at some of the names who have been called up recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Jamie Walker when fit and focused is a fantastic player. However the fit and focused part are the big question marks that would need to be shown for him to come back and be a success. One thing is, he may have found after moving down south that the grass is not greener and make him come back with more perspective about playing for Hearts.

Cruyff Turn Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Jamie Walker, if he comes back, needs to earn the right to play and secondly, win the fans back over. Ultimately he should get a second chance though because he’s a good player. He’s probably learnt his lesson from thinking he was a billy big bollocks and has spent the last two years picking splinters out of his arse instead. Still has a lot to offer us as a player. Naisy will make him better and coach him to do the right things more often as well. Still, I’d hope we bring in 3 or 4 attacking players of that ability which would transform us.

Once you have fully recovered from an operation, and been through the medical recovery, the next stage is building up the injured area to a level where a non-athlete would be considered fully rehabilitated. If you happen to work in an industry where you run around and kick a ball, jump, land, turn and stretch, then you need to then follow a strict fitness and training programme to make sure you don’t damage yourself further through the extra strains and pressures you need to exert upon yourself... so you can get back to earning a living again.

As for the other poster quoting me I watched Walker quite closely (I sit in the Gorgie Stand) and watched him dozens of times carrying us attacking wise. Raith Rovers in extra time for example where they couldn't get the ball off him in the league cup. No he's no model pro but he brings it in an attacking sense and would if he re signed again. Have heard he didn't track back, to be honest that is something that makes our league rubbish. Put him up top and let him express himself Well said ??

I am amazed if that is the case that our management think he is up to being a first choice starter in our team for most of this season. Here was me thinking that Clare's long standing injury was to his ankle!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
