Seriously? Wouldn't be adverse to this, but seems a strange one

[GorgieRules22]

What’s Cummings contract situation ?

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

Walker. Love the boy. Good fit for us. Couple of goals and he will be fine. I'm taking him over Wighton any day of the week.

 

Gordon would be just fine as well.

[Hampden Demolition]

I hope they keep Walker as far away from Hearts as possible.

37 goals in 156 appearances, I don't think we should be too choosy.

Pretty sure Barrack was talking about Cummings ??

Jamie Walker then ? Nothing against him but both him and the club have moved on, not for me.

Yeah I'm keeping it quiet (for now)

[Cruyff Turn]

I think Walker is a an absolute prick but I’m a believer in 2nd chances. So while I wouldn’t welcome him back with open arms, I’d happily allow him time to prove himself worthy once again of wearing the maroon jersey.

 

As for Gordon, not enamoured by the possibility of him coming back either. The goalkeeping position is the very least of our problems. Big Bobby Zlamal is a very good keeper and I’m pretty happy with him between the sticks.

 

Naisy and big Pete sign up long term. Bryson would be a good signing too.

 

We should go and get skinny from Hull as well and maybe someone who has loads of pace as a different option from Walker & Skinny.

 

Main focus for me is central midfield though, it’s our weak area.

He is - absolutely no doubt about that. The pity is that he let himself down when Sevco sniffed about. 

[jambmoz]

I’m not bothered what’s happened in the past, we just need better players. All of those mentioned fall into that category?

This in spades!

[jambopilms]

Lee Wallace, el hass and Gavin Reilly

[Pagey]

Think Hearts should announce Walker signing and a 5 year extension to Levein’s contract at the same time.’Imagine.....

 

oh and Naismith has signed but will be out for 4 months as his other knee has gone. 

[Taffin]

Should steer clear of Walker, and he should too for his sake. The first sign of a lack of effort and he'll be absolutely hounded 

[bajthejambo]

It better not be Faycall Rherass.

[The White Cockade]

No to Walker, Gordon, Lafferty and Wallace  for me 

All yesterday’s men and Wallace is finished imo

Would take back Sam

Your last sentence got cut off somehow. Completed it for you though. 

[gorgieheart]

skinny to sign on the dotted line  ?

 

Gordon to come home  ?

 

may all be utter bar locks, but at least its a change from the Levein and Budge bashing !

Talk of us trying to lure Craig Bryson to us in the summer he also is currently out with an injury and will be 33 in November.

Turned out we couldn’t afford him. Knocked us back. For now. 

[eck1874]

As long as Levein has anything to do with hearts I can assure you Cummings will be nowhere near us.

Do we risk Naismith for the final then?  Having been confident we would see him, a long term deal, probably means we will be cautious and pray for miracles instead

Surely he won’t be match fit, unless he comes back sooner and manages a game or two, we do need him though

I think Cummings would be a great foil to play off uche!!

i know I’ll prob get pelters for it but I’m of the opinion he’d do well at us.

He would.

[Bob Loblaw]

We lack creativity from midfield.  Walker would give us a good option there.  I'm not bothered about how he behaved before, I'm sure he realises now that the grass isn't always greener, I'd be more worried about whether he could get fully fit.  If he could I'd take him no worries.  

 

We forgave Stevenson and Webster, we'd forgive Walker too if he started playing like he's capable of.

Here's the thing. If we had a cohesive strategy then I wouldn't be concerned either way. It's interesting that we are happy to criticise chairmen of other clubs for trying every trick to convince fans to buy season tickets but say nothing when we hold back announcing contracts for Naismith and Haring until the first week of the public sale window. 

 

Sort defence

Sort spine of team

Sort out the more flair players

 

Seems pretty cohesive to me

See this is where we are at now.We are willing to accept some players as they are  an improvement on the pish Levein has made mistakes with.When you look at them in isolation then they're no so good.In saying that if we got the walker who was motivated to play for us a couple of seasons back,then that would be decent.My only problem is how they are being  coached.

[Debut 4]

There’s no argument.  Issues aside, Walker is a strong SPL player and far far better than some of the options at our disposal just now.  

 

If it happens then I’m sure people will trust Craig Levein’s judgement to bring him back.

I don’t trust Craig Leveins judgement now never mind the summer.

Cummings is one of the most overrated footballers I can remember. He only gets talked about because of his antics. He’s done zero at Scottish Premiership level. The fact he won a cap for scotland shows just how bad our national setup is.

 

He’s not a linkup striker, not a lone striker and can’t play with a partner.

Was that not last year's goals Jammy, it's repeat to fade, this year was his chance. It's intriguing how everyone is buoyed by contract and signing talk until we're brought back to earth when we actually watch the team.

Not sure about you but Zlamal, Berra, Souttar, Halkett, Smith, Djoum, Haring, Naismith and Uche, plus some very promising youngsters, is an excellent spine to build around. Add a creative midfielder, second striker and a winger - and keep them all fit! - and that’s a strong team.

I've never been in the players are shite camp, my issues are all with coaching.

[portobellojambo1]

I heard that Steven Naismith spoke very well at a meeting at Tyncastle last night. I was most pleased to hear that he was not happy with fans who asked him about playing second string players/youngsters in the remaining league games. His response was along the lines it needs to be the best players playing as HMFC should be going into all 4 of these games only intent on winning each of them. Now that is the sort of attitude this club needs on the footballing side going forward, born winners, unwilling to accept anything else.

You see when you try to put a negative spin on everything you just end up looking like you have in this thread. Silly.

 

Some people might say it's embarrassing.

It is about time this was our attitude. For far too long fans have accepted mediocrity then tried to justify it with all sorts of we are not worthy attitudes!!

 

Alex MacDonald and Sandy Jardine brought this mentality to the club. It has been sadly lacking for many years...........
