If as suggested he is just a loan until the end of the season then he is hardly going to be anywhere near match fit and away again at the end of the season unless there is a potential to keep on permanently.

 

I am still not convinced that he would add anything that we don't already have. Walker is a decent player when on his game or can be bothered but he just doesn't do it often enough.

 

 

I thought hes been released?  I agree a loan would be daft.

He was maybe worth a try about 5/6 years ago but at 30 he is hardly got anything to prove other than picking up more money.

[jamboinglasgow]

Stewart is good as long as you use him to his strengths. Kilmarnock did that and he was fantastic. Aberdeen signed him and expected him to be amazing by just chucking him in the team. Rangers then signed him as a fringe player.

 

He would be a good signing but only if we use him correctly.

My Christmas wish list:

 

Allan Campbell is an absolute must. Keep Halliday signed up.

 

Liam Polworth. Good player.

 

Gallagher, Findlay and/or Jimmy Dunne for Centre backs.

 

Danny McNamara or Phil O'Donnell for right back.

 

Kamaba and Ross Stewart. Both are are out of contract this season.

 

Don't sign Greg Stewart. He can't do it at big clubs.

 

 

Some good names on your lost. 

Let's hope that Robbie & the new guy Savage get us some good signings for a change, and punt some of the dross that we've still got.

[Cruyff]

Jamie Walker has ability but he has no heart at all to compete. 

 

In his comfort zone he does a job v the Raith and Morton of this world. When he's playing better opposition, if it doesn't happen for him in the first few minutes, the heid down and he's not interested.

I see Jamie is the current Kickback scapegoat for anything going wrong at the moment...........

He knows how to beat a man, has trickery and can cross a ball.  I think long term would be a fantastic signing. 

I have no idea if this has any legs but I hope so. Anyone who thinks Greg Stewart would not make our side better is kidding themselves on. One thing we are missing badly is players who can cause problems around the box by having a trick or two and being prepared to go past a defender. Greg Stewart would be a massive upgrade on Walker, Frear, Roberts, Wighton, Henderson and Moore. Because he is very two footed e.g. he can take free kicks and corners with either foot, he can also play either side comfortably.

I advocated signing him when he was at Dundee and a pal of mine’s Dad who has watched Cowdenbeath since the 40s says Greg Stewart is the best player ever to have played for them.

I don't think this is the case it is just that when speculation about new signings arises it is only natural to look at who we already have in a similar position.

 

But now you mention it do you think that Jamie Walker is doing his best possible in every game to not be "the scapegoat" as you suggest.

 

I for one think it was a mistake bringing him back to the club but then that was not Robbie's call.

 

He just doesn't put enough into games for me and from time to time he does produce a few goals or some nice bits of play but it happens far to seldom for me.

 

Berra unlike Walker gives his all with his limited ability.

 

Lets face it there is always going to be a certain player that fans "pick on" that is just the nature of the game.

 

We all have different views on who we like and who we think is worth keeping or bringing in to the club.

 

But we all know that any signing is a risk but even more so if you don't play them in their strongest position.

 

If it came to the crunch and Robbie had to get rid of a few players before anyone could be brought in I would have Roberts, Frear and Damour head of the list before Walker.

[Ex member of the SaS]

Signing players can be a minefield. Some play well for certain managers or with certain partners, finding one who will fit in with team mates and play like the manager wants, is hard. When Robbie came back I was willing to give every player a fresh start as they may just fit in with different tactics etc.

For this reason I leave speculation about signings to those who ( supposedly ) know better, someone who knows how a player will fit in and if they will play for the manager or just cause disruption in the squad.

Having said that I would take Sibbick as he looked the business before injury, but ultimately will let Robbie decide who he wants.

High praise indeed. 

 

 

Stewart was with us as a youth and may not fancy coming back but that apart if his current contract is for over £6k pw (see link above) he's going to have to take a good hit wherever he goes, I'd reckon.  With his CV and aged 30, he'll do well to get half of that.

[OTT]

I get the feeling with the tone of some posters posts on here that they know Walker personally and as a result are quick to jump to his defence. (Which is fine)

 

I don’t think it can be disputed that Jamie’s return hasn’t really been a case or picking up from where he left off. The manner of his departure also wasn’t great and I think there is a feeling of wanting to see him putting himself about, even when things aren’t working. I think Walker has a terrible habit of hiding when things aren’t going well. That’s bearable at 19/20 but not at 27. Fans want to see a bit of passion, a bit more dropping deep, getting on the ball and trying to drive forward. If it doesn’t work, that’s fine. It’s about seeing him try. 

 

We’re not looking for Messi 2.0, just him to dig deeper and get involved deeper if he’s finding himself isolated. Naismith is great at this, and as a result you can never really accuse him of hiding.

Berra not only gives the effort he has proven he is still our best defender with his consistent performances since he got back in the team. He has grabbed his chance. Walker gets chance after chance including being in the team ahead of Lee and Ginnely on Sunday and was anonymous yet again!!!

Fair post Davy

 

I agree and get frustrated with Walker because we have all seen what he can do when on his game.

 

He was garbage in the final which I have already posted on other threads. He is a player that needs a good run of games to get sharpness, maybe that's an excuse or injuries just catching up with him.

 

Anyway deflecting from thread topic, I think Greg Stewart could be a decent shout, gives us something different in the box

You may be right Clerry but I am hardly brimming with enthusiasm at the though of GS coming to us.

 

I would much rather we had a young promising player with bundles of pace and energy coming in with a point to prove than the likes of GS.

Re Boyce, delighted to see he still has 2 and a half years on his contract.

Robbie would be mad to sell him(not saying he wants to) it wouldhave to be crazy money  to sell him.

The thing I'm most surprised is our management team thought it would be a good idea to as walker to play in the position he was in while the teams set up to defend .

Great post mate and difficult to disagree with much of what you say.

 

I think the injuries he's suffered during his career have impacted his confidence and as such is a shadow of the player he once was.

Jamie Walker hasn’t been match sharp over any worthwhile period of time for several years.

 

There is no doubt he has the ability.....it’s everything else that is the issue and it’s these that will probably make him surplus to requirements next season.

Jamie made a mistake leaving us in the first place, another player who needs to get the head up.

The squad is still looking to hit top form, battling away is good for some games.

I believe that Jamie has a lot to offer us.
