Shouldn't every one of us who purports (my word of the day) to be a Jambo just hope he has a fantastic season.

 

That's what I hope. 

 

 

Nah. 

 

We should call him a bottler in derbies, call him names like a prick and call him out for being a dirty rangers bassy.

 

We should, at the same time say we should have taken a football mecerny, say like Milinkovic ( because he got us, apparently tried harder and was more consistent ?) over him and if it all goes tits up, blame CL. 

 

Tbh, It's more fun that way. 

 

Getting behind the guy who gave us some great performances, had some of the most consistent stats for us for many a year, has a Hearts history and is a Jambo and after trying his hand in England to earn a little more, we'll.... It's is just too boring. 

 

 

Walker with, Washington, Uche and Naismith is giving me a little movement. 

Could be gravy. Easy 40-50 goals in that lot. ?

Bit snidey that. You seem to struggle with people having a different opinion to you regarding the merits of a football player, and automatically jump on the ‘must be an ulterior motive’ train.

 

Not sure how you are struggling so much with this. I’ve put it a few different ways already in the hope you can grasp it.

 

I prefer Milinkovic to Walker as a football player, for the multitude of reasons I’ve already given. 

 

**** me you’re hard work. Just try and accept that people’s opinions differ from yours sometimes. ?

You’re doing it again. I am perfectly capable of judging a football player on what I see with my own eyes. I have given my reasons, and they are my honest opinions. I don’t need someone to translate them in to something else, because they do not agree.

 

I sat there at derbies (and other games, but it’s the derbies that really annoyed me), and watched him do nothing. We were getting treated the way we have historically treated them for a while, and Walker was supposed to be the guy who’d ‘unlock their defence’. Watched him bottle it in too many games to suddenly expect him to come back and be a revelation.

 

The Rangers shite obviously doesn’t help. How can that sort of shite do anything other than exacerbate Ill-feeling, when you are already not overly enamoured with a player’s effort and performances? 

 

The crux of the matter is though, he went out on to the pitch and shat it against Hibs. I sat there watching it happen, and that angered me. I have a perfectly clear and lucid memory of what I watched, and how it made me feel. I don’t need someone trying to convince me that they know my feelings or thoughts better than I do.

 

Your last paragraph I agree with. Now that he’s signed, he deserves a chance to prove himself again.

 

 

 

The facts are that you have celebrated jamie walker’s name more often than any other Hearts midfielder since rudi skacel in terms of his goals for us. Even more than paul hartley. Imagine if he hadn’t been injured! 

 

Why not focus on that?

 

And the bit about Hibs dominating is like we dominated them is nonsense. They have never done that. They have their odd good period now and then before natural order is restored.

I’ve already repeatedly said that:

 

1) He was an excellent player when he first broke through.

 

2) I want him to do well, and think he might.

 

3) I will support him like I do every Hearts player who gives their all for the team.

 

Quite why folk have such an issue with me not being desperate to rewrite history and pretend he was a superstar in the latter period of his first term with us, I don’t know.

 

Is there some kind of issue with folk not wanting to hear opposing views to their own? Is the game to keep on trying to wear me down until I change my opinion of a player who I have watched playing for us from a teenager to the day he left? ?

 

What exactly is it about my views and opinion, that is offending people so much here? In my decade or so on JKB, Ive been accused of being a fence-sitter with no strong opinion either way, a happy clapper, and now apparently I’m too negative?

Be interesting to see if Jamie Walker can last a maximum of 1 hour (but mainly 45 mins) without aerobically falling to pieces & looking like a marathon runner who's hit the wall with 4 miles still left to go. Probably the most unfit player I've seen in years - which leads to poor decision making & performance.

 

He doesn't seem the brightest & our coaches & management failed to identify & work on this issue previously but hopefully he might have learned a thing or 2 while in England. But I sadly doubt it.

I reckon you'd be surprised by his stats! Bear mind that coaches know exactly how much ground each player covers and how hard they push themselves these days, due to modern technology. I'm a bit surprised that people don't find this a good signing, the laddie scores and creates goals - he will be coming back with his tail between his legs and his eyes opened to how good it is at Hearts, I think he'll be a great signing. Time will tell I suppose.

Scored more goals than both Hartley and Skacel, while coming through as a kid and also having to deal with a couple of serious injuries. Yet some folk are desperate to claim it's not a great signing. Interesting ...

Whooaa there... Fella. 

Wasn't a dig at you. 

Unlike yourself, who has got personal and had a few wee digs at me. 

 

On this thread - 

 

He's  been called a prick. 

Folk have said they'd prefer Milinkovic. 

Folk have expressed thier emotions/ views about his hibs performances and the rangers thing. 

 

My post was a good summary (imo- I'm allowed one too?) of why some folk won't welcome him back and give him a fair chance like Kiwi sumised we should as he's a Hearts player, again. 

 

Not aimed at you, just a few reasons stated on here why folk won't welcome him or take ri him easily. 

 

Unless saying he's a prick and that you'd prefer another player over him is how we welcome folk and wish the best for them on here.

Talking of humble pie and back tracking just google Jamie Walker Jambos Kickback  “don’t want him back, loves the huns not fit, Peterborough Sub etc etc”. “Welcome home Jamie”  at least some are consistent in their views though.

 

If Aberdeen has signed Walker and wanted Gauld the majority on here would be saying both are injury prone and been shite for years. 

 

My view on Walker - great potential back in the day and wanted to move on to make ££ for his family, it doesn’t make him a bad guy.  What is concerning is everyone is forgetting his legs are made of glass at the best of times and the club has just came off a massive injury crisis in the first place absolutely dying out for consistency next season yet people want not only Jamie Walker back (fair enough he’s done it before) but also a guy not good enough over the road and has been injured the best part of four years? How is that going to help get a balance of consistency? The club don’t need punts after three years of underachieving and losing lots of money on speculative punts.  Olly Lee the latest in a long line “oh he wants to go home, he’s not settled” there’s always an excuse. 

So Lee has settled fine then?

The bottling bit gets aimed at him from the Cathro spell.  Fact is, I remember one of Walker’s last derbies (under Levein) at Easter Road. (1-0 defeat) 

 

Walker is hardly the most graceful or greatest tacklers but from the start it was him throwing himself into tackles, closing down, putting effort in you expect of others in midfield. There was games at Tynecastle towards the end of the 16/17 season he was tracking back into full back areas looking frustrated during a time the Cathro effect was in full swing. 

 

Any player needs to work but should a player who’s best area is the last third need to be compensating so much? He did in a disjointed, confidence sapped team. 

 

But it’s convenient to say he never worked hard to maintain the image it was all about him engineering a move away.  Not denying he never tailed off though but he seems to get singled out massively. I suppose that happens to good players who supporters think should be providing every week.

 

Yet, they’ll say give time to some utter dross.

I am so disappointed that JW has returned. Why oh why? He left under a cloud and did not reach his potential with Wigan. Rangers fans are so glad "he didn't come home"

[Norm]

So according to Walker, the club are partly to blame for the Rangers saga. He doesn't go in to why it was partly the clubs fault though. As far as I can tell, we told Rangers to pony up or **** off. Not sure how any blame lies at the clubs feet for that. 

 

If you want to try and get yourself back in to the good books, that's not that way I'd go about it. He's doing himself no favours with me when he comes out with that shite. It ended badly, we move on is what he should have stuck with. This whole "There was mistakes made on both sides" does nothing to make me think he's learned his lesson, and if he comes good again and Der Hun come sniffing a 2nd time, I'm not confident he'll not down tools a 2nd time. 

 

Not confident this will end well at all.

Oviously not the sharpest card in the pack with comments like this. Maybe he should just train hard and produce the goods on the pitch instead of coming out with this sort of rubbish.
