innerjambo Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Not sure about this one, disappointed in the club tbh because to me it's going backwards in many respects. He needs to work hard and prove to the fans that he deserves this contract. He has obvious skill, but he's slow and injury prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These points were certainly made at the time but whether you're right or wrong, we need to get behind the team from the off and let bygones be bygones. I hope Walker and Washington got, or will get, the Murder Hill treatment to align them with their new colleagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Turn Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 13 minutes ago, Busby8 said: He could well turn out to be even better than the pre sevco tapping days. He's been down south. Didn't work. It's now out of his system. He will return back a far more mature player. He will be motivated to make this opportunity work, as it's effectively his last chance to play at this level. If he can't cut it here now, his career will only go in one direction. Just imagine the kid that starred for us a few seasons ago with a bit more football sense and responsibility. That's the new improved version of JW I really anticipate watching. I'm staying positive on this one and believe that's exactly the player we will see. Yep, totally agree, I think he could be even better this time around. He could actually finish here a legend, can’t put a price on that.

Dagger Is Back Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I've fecked up in my life before. Thankfully folks were willing to cut me some slack and give me another chance. Because of that I felt I owed them and as a result I worked my bollocks off to repay them Welcome back JW - the JW I like to remember improves our squad without any shadow of doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m far from happy he’s back but wether some of us are happy or not he’s here now. He’s hardly kicked a ball since he left so who knows what to expect with him this season. I won’t be booing him that’s for sure but I won’t be singing his name either. I hope for his sake it works out.

OmiyaHearts Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 It's taken me a wee bit to come round to this signing. But after what I've read on bbc and seen on the interview, I'm looking forward to seeing him play for us again. A man with a lot to prove and a brave move for him, in a way.

The Gorgie Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Is Scottish football so bad, a highly rated player, at the time, can't even cut it at wigan.

boag1874 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I’ve done a total U-Turn on this. Was dead against it originally but after seeing him back in maroon it just feels right.

Kiwidoug Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Seems to me that what is not in dispute is that at his best, he is a very good player at our level.

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.
