Seems to have been bombed right out at Hull. Judging by his Instagram it looks as though he may even be back home in France. Can't see that he's been in a Hull squad for a while.

It was written on the cards as soon as he signed. At least he made a wedge, eh? I don't understand (most) football players - if I were good enough to play professional football, I would play at the highest level I could where I could be playing every week, or at least almost every week. Stuff the money.

Retiring at what, 34 ish. Nah mate if you get 1 chance to earn a wedge you'd jump at it surely?

 

Still time for him to find his level.

 

He was loved at Hearts, would love him back but cant see it.

Easy to say, but if someone offers you 10x the money you're on to do the same job you'd be very tempted, even if it meant you didn't get "job satisfaction".

To a lot of players it is just a job and the club they play for are just an employer.

There's still life after 34, and professional footballers, even at lower levels, earn a reasonable wage. It's not as if he would be out in the streets, destitute.

[Clerry Jambo]

But he was a top player we were told, just another totally inconsistent player we had on our books

Suppose he thought he would be able to make an impact there and be a regular - as well as collecting his wedge. Reality is though he is nowhere near good enough. Someone may correct me, but I don't think he has even started a league game for them since signing.

Yeah. People seem to judge him on 'that' performance v Celtic but he played many games in which he was rank rotten.

Ok, I understand why they do it, but I don't agree.

 

You see, when Skinny is an old man in his rocking chair reflecting on his past, it will be the memories of him haring up the field at Tynie with the crowd buzzing, or scoring those goals in the 4-0 demolition of Celtic that will fill his head, not the fact he has a very comfortable bank account.

You only need a certain wage to pay the bills though. It's not as if he had been on the breadline as a professional footballer before he headed south.

[Baxfee]

Coincidentally, I watched the 4-0 game against celtic last night. What a day that was 😁. Skinny was fab - but then again, so was the whole team

No, but it’s a short career with which to fund your retirement.

I'm not going to belabour the point (you'll be glad to know) but you're not on the scrapheap after you "retire" as a professional footballer. You can still have 30-35 years of work ahead of you if you so choose. Anyway, I'm off to help fund my bills. Have a good day, Dave.

Given our injuries I'd take Skinny back again, inconsistent but he had the ability to change a game in our favour.

[Paul Shark]

Better than any other winger we currently have at the club and given that we took 3 or 4 months to coach him how to defend before he got to play last time, he would know exactly what was expected of him.

Do we need a winger though ? Scrap for throw ins around the 18 yard box and get the very talented Ollie Bozanic to throw it into the box, far more enjoyable to watch.

He loves going forward, creating space and opportunities. He even makes CL look like he's a genuine football manager.

Who the fick would choose that? 😂

Guy was ok. 

Fast and direct, gave his all. 

His decision making was very poor tho, really undermined his whole game imo.

[Innocent Eggboniki]

He’s Lilian Gish

[SuperstarSteve]

Guy was loved purely because he said **** the hibs in one video. Then he lapped up the legendary status as fans claimed “he gets us”. What BS that was.

 

Saying that on ability alone i’d take  him. 

Sadly his attitude, inconsistency and everything else that comes along with him. No thanks. 

[Tasavallan]

Only managed 6 games in the Championship last season, all as substitute, with an average of 9.5 min a game. This season he had one start in the Cup game in August against Tranmere where he scored in the 6 min.  Lasted 60 min in that game.  

 

Blew hot and cold.  I only saw the cold.  As Levein knows the player it is not a risk decision but come January both Walker & Morrison will join Delaney as the wide men in the squad.  Assuming no more injuries.

Why do people only ever want us to sign players who have played for us in the past. Doesn't even matter whether they were any good. Its a very odd phenomenon. 

 

Still, LAVINE OOT

 

Well it should be obvious why people want us to sign past players... ok let me help you.

 

Fans have seen them play in the flesh. Fans liked what they done in there past stint. Time has immortalised that dramatic winning goal and wiped out the poor or boring displays. Unfortunately we dont have that connection with the other 99% of players we are unlikely to know or had heard of.

 

Anyway a player who was at a bigger club than us. Moved for a significant fee to a bigger club than us. And a player that would go straight into this team.

 

It's a yes from me.

[Lambo85]

I'd love to have him back but it wont happen while Levein is in charge.

Damn it, that had been confusing me since 28 August at 16.13 so I am glad you cleared it up for me.

 

By the way *whispers* ... I knew why they do really. It was a rhetorical question asked to make a point. 

 

Thanks

Would have agreed when I was in my twenties, but now I've passed footballers retirement age, I'd have chosen the money. Not a long career and you ain't retiring on 1k or less a week!

Not destitute but bigger wages tend to bring more expensive lifestyles. Its all relative,  I'd still take a big payday if offered.

Have to be in the right position to get the chance that presented itself in the first place. Which is a quality within itself that alot of players don't have just ask John Robertson or Shearer 😉. 

 

🐑skelping at its best yasssss!  🇱🇻🇱🇻😀

[kimosavi]

Think people forget we had a honking team when Dave was here. No convinced he would be any good to us in a fully fit squad. Bang average. Runs at players and does step overs  thats it and he wasnt very good at it. Had a couple of decent games  

 

I'd take him on a year deal 

[SomethingAboutObua]

I think before people weigh up if he’s good enough to bring back they have to look at if on a personal level if Levein would want back. (I’d probably take him back if his wage was very easy to fit in to our budget) 

 

The guy’s known for holding grudges and i think Hearts went to quite a lot of effort to negotiate with Genoa before Milinkovic actually put forward his wage/contract demands. If I remember the deal was very quickly dead after he put forward his wage request? So he must have been asking for an amount that shocked Hearts.

 

I just don't think Levein would be interested and I could in understand why he’d want to  look at other individuals over him. Although I would like to see some more depth in our wide players.   

[jr ewing]

Someone I have actually seen play. No you tube necessary.

[mitch41]

Why not offer Milinkovic training facilities and digs with the chance of a nice wee contract till the end of the season if he can prove he has what it takes. Never hold a grudge against a player who has left your club to try and improve his career or bank balance.
