MaskedMarauder Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Not sure if it’s been discussed on here but pretty much looking like he’s away. His #8 jersey given away to Sean Clare, wife and son staying down south and his house at Kirkliston just been put up on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joondalupjambo Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 What contract is Lee on, 3 years? Did we get him when he was out on contract? If he is off will we get something for him? Maybe he thinks Kirkliston is a bit out the way and is just moving into the hustle and bustle of the city where the action is? Questions, questions, questions this club just keeps on giving, love it.

He was living next door to Michael Smith and his wife by all accounts was lonely as anything up here. Couldn’t make any friends except from Michael’s wife but they are expecting their 2nd child any week now. Surely if he was just moving house his wife and boy would be up here with him? Even living in a hotel like they did for the first month he moved up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be she wants the kid born in England though and staying there so he just needs a flat. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 None of his goals were set pieces I don't think? I'm not a big fan of his though, definitely has some talent but always felt he should be contributing more. Won't be too fussed if he's away.

So they’ll have their hands full with a newborn. I think we’ll let him go back down south. His brother and parents are down there too as are all his wife’s family. Hard thing to do, pack up and move to the other side of the country. Lonely life for a wife and a young son while he’s at training all day.

kila Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Be happy to keep him as as squad player. But not a starter in my lineup, so if he's after game time he'll be away when over his injury in the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonlegions Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Remember that time he was getting pelters at Tyine when we were losing and he was taking ages just to get to the corner flag to take the corner, that sums him up, just slooooows the team down when he plays.

Jammy T Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 He's got to be worth at least £500k to an English team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A wehatethehibs Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 This is pure speculation, don’t see Lee going anwhere with Djoum already away. Unless somebody is buying him, £1m player imo, multiply his real value £200k x5 as he is English so English sides will pay that premium due to how few English footballers there are playing in their top 2 divisions these days. We would not be letting him just walk out of his contract, we’d be leaving ourselves a bit light at Center mid if we lose both him and Djoum.

Nookie Bear Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 He showed enough last season to convince me he deserves another season to show his worth. He an deliver a ball, pass and showed his shooting his ability - obviously he is no Paul Scholes but that’s the market we are in. Simply, we cannot afford to just give up on players and cut our losses so often. It costs too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacky87 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I want him to stay and come good. Personally and only in my opinion, I think if he could work on his pace and physicality he could be good for us. But I'm fully aware that essentially means he needs to graft like hell.

HillmanHearts Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Some pretty harsh stuff on this thread about Olly. He's a decent football player and he made a fair contribution especially first half of last season. I don't think he's lazy, I just think he finds it difficult to play a high tempo, pressing game. Just maybe not naturally super fit and also maybe wants a bit too much time on the ball. It's not quite worked out and maybe he's also found it hard to settle domestically. Don't think this was a bad signing - sometimes it just doesn't quite work out. Seems a nice bloke too - so if he goes then there's no acrimony from me. And I'll remember that fecken peach V the Vermin with great fondness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
