Greedy Jambo Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 The boy isnt' wanted by Kilmarnock, he's been going on about his retirement etc etc, are we really that desperate? I don't think he should have been punted when he was but it's been 7 years! Merge this thread with all the other thread about old has beens coming back.

"Letting the ball hit him"... he pulled off some terrific saves for us when he was knocking on door of scotland squad Three bog standard saves any GK would make.

heartsfc_fan Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Better than what we have. Also can save penalties. Could do worse than get him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18Jambo_dave74 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I wouldn’t be too keen on Jamie Mac as first choice but wouldn’t have a problem with him coming in as a relatively cheap back up on a short term deal. In terms of quality Hearts keepers I’ve seen he doesn’t come close to the likes of Niemi and Gordon but I’ve got a lot of time for him and have a lot of good memories. He didn’t have much to do in the 2012 final but he was brilliant in the run to the final. His penalty save against St Mirren was one of the best I’ve ever seen and he was excellent in the games against St Johnstone and Celtic.

Gordon or Hladky would be better as first choice, but if not, give him a two year deal and start him if we're in the championship. Doyle not gone?

Imagine some of our greats played these days . . ‘aye that Dave Mackay is alright, but he’s limited, we need a Scott Allan type!’ or ‘John Robertson doesn’t contribute enough, all he does is score goals!’ Robbo done a lot more than just score goals tbh.

CJGJ Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Just why oh why would we want him back ? This silly fascination with average ex players coming back and worse fans forgetting why they left . I thank him for his service but he was moved on to get better quality in and he has not got better over the last few seasons There are at least 5 or 6 better keepers we can get and indeed we have one already at the club....Zlamal is a better keeper for example Time to move on and if we have to look at an old favourite then Craig Gordon is the only one we could bring back in that position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're in the championship he would be perfect though. Part of what makes a player good for us is how much they would want to be here. Jamie still lives in Edinburgh and his kids go to school here. I'm pretty sure he would break his back to make it work for us and for his family. Zlamal and Doyle are reasonable goalies but they've been so problematic between the two of them for us really. Was never the case with jamie. In fact it was fairly shocking when he was ousted in the first place. Also theres a big difference between signing ex strikers and ex goalies. We know what we are getting more likely. I just oppose the signing of craig gordon because it looks like hes playing us. We can get someone half decent who actually wants to be here.

I can't recall. It was an onslaught for 25 minutes. His performance in that match, particularly in the first half was one of the finest in a derby that I've seen so if he dropped a cross or two then I can can forgive him.

Bongo 1874 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Would take him back but as backup 1year deal, remember we have Harry Stone coming through the ranks, Stendel had him training with the first team. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/who-harry-stone-rise-hearts-teenager-wanted-liverpool-celtic-watford-1848757%3Famp&ved=2ahUKEwjEgMGJkJ7qAhVJz4UKHVnlDbQQFjAHegQICBAB&usg=AOvVaw3Ac_5p-AoGbk4mdHJpdxor&cf=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjambo21 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Thanks but no thanks. Jamie was good in his time but he was on loan at Alloa last season. No chance he would be good enough for us now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fila Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 After years and years of having top drawer goalkeepers , I cannot believe we are in a Hibs keeper state at the moment !!

WAS an ok keeper at best. Are people seriously coveting a 34 year old keeper that played for Alloa last season? He was so out of favour at Killie that they signed two keepers last summer because they didn't even want him on the bench! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
