Don Dan Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 A few months of big pay packets over there and he’ll be offski. Saudi Arabia may not be a place most players would opt for given there human rights issues. Financially it would make sense for Djoum to go there.

martoon Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Hope it's true. Also hope that CL saw this coming and has a replacement lined up. Someone who wants to be at Hearts and doesn't always have one eye on the fire escape. An upgrade on Djoum, with the same/similar salary, would be a huge boost for the coming season.

Never had any intention of staying These things work two ways. When it suits a club they ditch a player so he has not really done anything wrong. He's at an age where he will be looking to get a decent deal done as he probably wont get many more after this one. Nobody seems to be slating Naismith for holding out for his £160k payment before possibly signing for us and he is probably much better off than Djoum.

i8hibsh Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 What a day! Great news. One less waster off our wage bill. A player that had an abysmal win rate. A player that never rolled up his sleeves in all the countless times we required the team to do so. I certainly will not be following his career from now on and he does not part with my best wishes.

i8hibsh Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 The truth is that if we should have had a central midfield over the past few years of Kitchen, Djoum and Martin as they all could have set the heather alight but alas all 3 were workshy soft as shite wasters.

ToadKiller Dog Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I like Djoum but he hasn't lived made anywhere as much out of his ability that he showed in his first season and maybe we kept him to long.

busby1985 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 He said his goodbyes at the post cup final BBQ at tynie. I really rated Djoum, I also rate Lee, just think they’ve suffered from the lack of balance in the side and lack of a proper style and footballing philosophy. Time on the ball and the right players around them and we could’ve seen them reach their potential. We now need 2 quality midfielders as the thought of a midfield of Cochrane, Clare or Bozanic is worrying. Let’s also not forget that our best midfielder is a centre back.

OTT Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Best of luck to the guy, Been here a few years now. Looking forward to who we bring in, I'll say again, Mulumbu would be ideal. 32 yes, but is exactly the calibre of player we need to be bringing in. How he trains, his professionalism, his work ethic, everything that the young lads should be modelling themselves on. Having more guys that are coming from the EPL which demands all of those things can only be a positive for the likes of Cochrane, Irvine etc. See sense Craig! See sense!!

TemasekJambo Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Not sure why some folk are so jubilant at this news, he was our best midfielder last season and has been a consistent performer for years, when not injured. It is good that we have clarity now and focus on getting a replacement but it will not be straightforward. We’ve brought in several midfielders over the past few years (Lee, Bozanic, Martin, Kitchen) and the only one in the same league as Djoum is Haring.
