Guest ToqueJambo Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Damour has definitely tied down the holding midfielder role in our team of "looks decent on paper when they sign then does the square root of FA" players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right and my puzzlement with my critic is that he categorically states that it's all their fault. He doesn't express that as an opinion. That being the case, why doesn't he share with us the shortcomings of Budge, Levein etc in this instance. Pretty sure I already know the reason and I maintain my view, shared by the vast majority on here, that Damour is a dead weight and a dead loss.

Bob Loblaw Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Despite all the chat of him being a "wage thief" I don't think there's been any issues with his attitude. He trains, he makes himself available for selection, he hasn't publicly spat the dummy. If he's training well and working hard, why wouldn't we consider him? Paying him wages to do nothing is stupid and the longer it goes on the less likely it is someone else will take him. In terms of ability he had some really good games, but the majority weren't good enough but you could say that about nearly everyone that season.and plenty others got a second chance. Giving him a chance now is fine with me, but it makes the decision not to play him at all last season look a bit daft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Scenes Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Here's the thing right. This guy has played at a pretty high level, was a mainstay in Cardiff's promotion season from Championship and a good chunk of fans were sad to see him go. He is definitely a good footballer otherwise a team like Cardiff would not have signed him and followed up by playing him regularly in an important season for them. He has not lived up to his true potential. He has not worked hard enough and has not adapted to the scottish game. However, given his history i know for a fact if he were to leave Hearts he would do well and continue to thrive (Bjorn Johnsen, if you will for example). I think having him in the team gives us depth, and options. Maybe he will play from the bench, perhaps he will have the season of his life and be a Karapidis for us. Either way, someone posted our wages, and his was far down on the list of income, not even one of our highest earners - as it appeared. New season, new positivity, new sense of success. Hope you kick on Loic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantjambo Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Damour doesn’t get a second of first team football in the championship.
