For the same reason it happens at every club in the world probably. Parent club happy to let him go and not pay a part of his wages. New club keen on him but not keen enough or able to pay a fee. It happens to us both in and out the way. Not sure why people see this as an issue. If he goes down there and is exceptional and they want to keep him perhaps we would be in a position to get a fee in a years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One player who I felt could make something happen in games. Good luck olly. Feel he was a victim of our hoofball last season. The amount of times he was in space moving forward and screaming for the ball to be passed to his feet but we just punted it up top. Not the worst player in the squad by far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Would not surprise me if he caught a dose of Levein flu But from the stands I thought he wasn't committed enough (shy with headers, closing/chasing down etc), him and Clare are quite alike in that regard. Would rather have kept Lee than Clare though. Should use the freed up wage to get Milinkovic in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut The Crap Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Thought he looked an asset when we were on top in games and on the front foot. Didn't seem able to do anything to drag us up to that level when required though. Just going by pedigree, Damour and Whelan are light years ahead.

GorgieFifeLife Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Lee and his father have made it clear for some time that the teams style of pumping it long did not use Olly to the best of his ability. He spent all game watching balls fly over his head. I think he has been disenchanted with the poor quality of the football that we play.

King prawn Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Always looked like he was towing a caravan but hoofing the ball over his head 90% of the time was never going to work.

We didn't have the character to turn games in our favour, which as much as his ability, is why Naismith was such a miss. He has that in spades. We're better set up in that department now, but I think still have players to provide a bit of creativity without Lee. Those asking for the freed up wages to be spent (on Milinkovic). My guess is we've already spent them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilnunb Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Good luck to him. Only time he pissed me off was when he showed lack of urgency to take the corner when we were trailing against Dundee, although the lot of them were shite that night. Thought we were better with him in the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy2 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Good luck to him, I say. Apart from his goal against Hibs, I’ll remember his goal at Dunfermline and his long ball to Naismith for the clincher in the Betfred QF last year. Very unlucky to be left out during parts of Nov/Dec when we couldn’t buy a goal. During a pub debate I asked my cousin why Levein dropped the only guy willing to shoot from 20+ yards. Was cheesing when Olly proved me right at ER and we’ve still not got anyone willing to gamble and shoot from that distance, especially now Walker is injured.

luckydug Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I didn't rate Lee at all. Thank **** that dreadful song will be heard no more. Mind you the daft kids used to sing it even when he wasn't playing. Yesterday folk were agreeing with Mackay about the squad being to big now they are moaning about the revolving door. Yet another thread has turned into a Levein bashing opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will end up at League 1 playing against players far superior to what he will face most of the time in Scotland.
