Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 4 minutes ago, fancy a brew said: I think his role in Cardiff's promotion is a bit overplayed. He started 18 out of 46 games (and 9 sub appearances), whether that makes him a regular or not is open to individual interpretation. Pro rata it's equivalent to someone starting 11 games for Hearts in the season just gone. I'll be honest thought he had played more. Did play all the way through the French national team age groups too. Anyway, probably all irrelevant anyway. Just dont see the point in burning 2 years wages, but I'm not seeing him every day.

People seen as not trying/not interested are dumped in all grades of football as troublemakers or a bad influence. What is interesting is that both Martin and Damour preferred extra years to a higher wage i.e. spreading the money over longer. That in itself is a slight tip as to them being happy to jog along in a comfort zone. Neither seem/seemed bothered about not playing so I doubt appearance money is involved. Winning medals also appears not too important - we were handing out medals for very few appearances last season!

Besides Smith Walker and Halkett? "last season the midfield hardly lit up" - yes but it won 17 out of 27 so, happy ****ing days, compared to the last shambolic pathetic mess of Bozanic, Clare, Damour, Whelan, Irving who, I repeat, got 2 manager sacked through one of the most abysmal runs ever, a 12.9% win percentage and relegated. Somehow bizarrely folk think some of them guys were alright. Laughable; can only assume these fans who say that only watched the 4 wins, and didn't watch the 27 (twenty seven) defeats and draws. Now, with very little money spent on the championship, we are going up with 12 more wasters emptied and a war chest to improve the team. Folk can ****ing forget Damour, he's pish and not ever playing again here. Good luck to him at his next club or if he stays, wage thief. The manager is blameless for the situation and it is a genuine piss take that folk are trying to have a pop at Neilson for having no interest in playing Damour. Agree wholeheartedly.

Jambof3tornado Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 There is no way we havent put loan deals on the table in front of damour. Its pretty clear he has become very awkward to deal with. No reason not to accept a loan yet several windows have been and gone. Waste of a footballer, bigger waste of a wage, Levein should hang his head in shame.

It's wrong to assume also Warnock tipped him off to Levein as we got close to signing him before he went to Cardiff so then offered him a four year gig to finally get him. That shows Levein scouted him for a good three years before even signing him. He may well want to stay in Edinburgh on probably the best contract he's going to earn now.

Tasavallan Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Damour staying in the group or going out on loan will likely not happen until all players are back and RN has all his signings placed. Usually teams do not consider loan players until after the season start date by which time they have had difficulty signing contract targets.

What irritated me most about this was not that he made a mistake (we all do that) it was his lack of attempting to try and win the ball back and just giving up. That tells me a bit about his attitude. He may have ability but it is useless without any drive and determination. The sooner we get rid of him the better in my opinion.
