R1874 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Bit random...none of the ITKs even mentioned it... I like Lee. Play better with him in team and rather have him than Walker and Halliday. Never deserved to be dropped for cup final. Shame he had to play RM so often this year - wish there was a better solution Lacks mobility but least contributes to goals. Hope he does well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A wehatethehibs Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Well let’s kick off the speculation of various ex players who’ll now be mentioned for CM. I feel we’re lacking physicality and ball winner in there. Djoum back in? Contract expires end of the season. Not in the squad for his teams last fixture.

Hungry hippo Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Lee's Instagram makes it seem like it was his decision for family reasons. As always nothing but kind words about the club and fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see that coming but with Halliday, Irving, Haring, Walker and McGill I would say we have enough cover. Halliday and Irving are my preferred two at the moment since Haring is still a yard or two off the pace. Walker has been more effective when he's playing through the middle so I'm counting him as a centre mid now as well. And young McGill can provide some cover or we can re-call Cochrane if we were really struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anything2 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Not a massive Olly Lee fan but he has been involved a fair bit this season so to allow him to move on is a bit of a surprise unless we are confident in bringing in someone else who is more long-term.

Gordon Ramsay Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Don't mind Lee tbh. Quite surprised, not the greatest player in the world but he's done reasonably well this season. Having said that we do probably need better looking ahead to next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM Sheffield Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Good move for all parties I think. Olly and family get to move back down south, Gillingham clearly rate him, it frees up wages and let’s be honest he was unlikely to be offered a new deal at Hearts. Lee flattered to deceive I think. He showed glimpses of being a decent player and contributed a few great goals but those performances were far too irregular. He hasn’t been a disaster like Damour but he wasn’t someone you feel we had to keep either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id play ****ing Berra at Center mid before I’d put Walker there.

Glamorgan Jambo Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 He's nowhere near good enough long term but one of the few midfielders we have who delivers a decent final ball/cross. Hope we have someone coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player himself doesn't need to be pacy just be capable of playing telling passes quickly . Irving has this as does Cochrane . Cochrane just needs to do it consistently Think Lee has wanted to head south [home] for a while . Best of luck to the guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
