JamboSpur Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Comes across as such an awkward wee laddie who doesn’t have any self worth or belief. Shame. Hope he can find top form and get his confidence back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozi Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Let's look at it logically, the way he left was nowhere near as bad as Webster and he became a cup winning legend. Also he was involved in 75 goals (40 scored and 35 assists) in 181 games, that's around about a goal involvement every 2.5 games, from midfield. In what was mostly poorly performing teams. If he can produce that level of performance this time around then I am sure we will quickly forget how it all ended last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we can get the best out of him as if we can, then he is the match winner we need. I got that from his comments too and it’s the right thing to say - perhaps showing a bit of maturity that lacked at the time he left. He does have to win a lot of fans back over (myself included) but if he gives it everything and shows the ability he has, he’ll do well and we’ll be happy!

Good player for us, plenty ability but done **** all since he left and dodgy knees - so not sure how it’ll work out. However I hope he’s a massive success. And as others have suggested, I’d hold off on the badge kissing and tell the missus and old man to stay off social media. As i understand it his old man is the main problem, a complete tool.

So let’s then use this ratio of a goal involvement every 2.5 games (40 goals and 35 assists in 180 games) as a measure of his successful return and his commitment. If if he can achieve this level of form then I will be delighted and overjoyed. And I will very quickly and gladly forget about his attitude and his behaviours that he showed once the huns and his manipulative agent turned his head. As they say, the ball is now in your court Mr Jamie Walker, show me and convince me. Then I will appreciate you and applaud you like I did before the huns and your agent corrupted your mind.

I don't think he enjoys being in front of a camera like that. yeah agree with that. I was at the POYA when he won the award and he had to make a speech. He was very uncomfortable with that aspect. Not an issue for me and just part of his personality.. Really hope he comes back as the 'old' Jamie. If he does he will be a huge asset. However, he will rightly be judged (by the vast majority) on how he performs..............no more no less . Good luck Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW’s admitted himself he wasn’t up for it in his last 6 months or so here, lazy and poor attitude in that case not to mention his cringeworthy social media antics.

Do they mean the fans that streamed out of Tynecastle well before the end of the last game of the season or those who booed the team at every opportunity? He’s a Jambo and that should be enough. How many of the fans that streamed out or booed whored themselves to Rangers? How many of those Hearts fans turned up at Rangers games wearing Rangers scarfs? How many of them liked everything Rangers related on social media and made digs at Celtic? Walker does need to convince a section of the Hearts support. I for one will not forget him deliberately getting sent off against Aberdeen so he didn’t have to face Rangers. To suggest that he should simply turn up an all be forgiven is frankly bollox.

hearts 4 the cup Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 The team last year lacked creativity when Naismith didn’t play - Walker is a creative player. A real number 10 (always thought this was his best position, doesn’t have the attributes to be a top winger) and will add real creativity to the midfield which will hopefully allow Naismith to play further forward. This is a great bit of business I think, especially on a 3 year deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, unless it was to ingratiate yourself to the Rangers support why else would a professional footballer do that? (I’ll accept the answer that it’s because he’s a half wit).
