A_A wehatethehibs Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Can we start calling him Gaz? That's what his team mates call him. GMS is too Celticky/Aberdeeny/Unitedy for me. I'm calling him Gaz from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1986 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Much like Gino…….GMS has played decent in only a handful of games against lower level opposition…..he definitely has the ability but I’m concerned we won’t see often enough at a higher level. We need another winger to push both these players as it’s clear Roberts isn’t going to be that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartofmidlothian Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Six goals in his last four matches for us. He didn't impress much as a winger, but he's one of the most exciting strikers we've had in years - and so is Liam Boyce, which is nice.

Byyy The Light Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Had to try and get fit by playing games last season. Think he'll kick on now and become a firm favourite.

He’s an absolute foul magnet, considering how good Kingsley, Halliday and Walker are at set pieces, I think this will create goals out of nothing for us. Most if not all of the bottom 6 will just sit in against us so this offers a chance to get round that IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperstarSteve Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 1 hour ago, Barack said: Well he's already got 2...so chances of him scoring more than 8, are quite decent. 8 goals from a winger, adding in a few assists, is a good return. Put it this way, if it was Walker scoring that many, there wouldn't be much grumbling. Walker got 8 goals and 5 assists from 24 games last year. Majority I’d imagine from the bench and there was grumbling over his consistency. If all 3… Walker, Gaz and Ginnelly can be hitting roughly those numbers each this season would be nice.

Hungry hippo Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 GMS is our modern Jean Louis Valois. Very happy to have someone with his quality (in addition to Ginnelly) that can produce a piece of magic out of nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see Gino in the Scottish Cup Final? Celtic were scared shitless. As for GMS, he's already done it at the highest Scottish level, no reason to think he can't again. 6 goals in his last 4 competitive games should mean his confidence is on a steep upward trajectory.

There are zero doubts about his quality, so it sounds like you rushed to a negative judgement based only on his first 5-10 games for us in Feb/March where he got off to a slow start with a couple of away draws, rather than looking at his 200 game career where he's been one of the most entertaining footballers in Scotland, playing for teams that finished in Europe and won titles. Last few games of last season, you could see he really started sharpen up, just a shame the short season ended just that bit too early for him to get to full sharpness. Good to see he has not lost that momentum he gained and he will prove another very good signing for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysthereinspirit Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 A big thing for him will be protection. If he’s on and refs do their job he could be huge for us. Scottish football, even at premiership level is still hackers Utd. Especially the lower level teams. He’ll be getting the $#!t kicked out off him 3 out of every 4 games.

There are zero doubts he had the quality required……..but better players than GMS have moved to clubs and not performed to the same level for one reason or another. So……..based on the 20 or so games he’s played so far I’d say he’s been a major disappointment. Until he reaches the consistent standard he reached with those afore mentioned teams, I’ll consider my opinion to be an accurate one. Some of his performances against part time players last season were absolutely shocking and if it had been a loan deal with a view to buy we probably wouldn’t have taken up the option……that is how bad he was. I doubt this will be the last thread on this subject this season tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To call him a major disappointment is a premature, drama queen conclusion, based on a short 3 months of dead rubber, empty park football last season, at a time where the league was basically already won when he arrived and a dozen depressing players Berra, White, Irving etc who all knew they were on the way out as soon as the promotion job was done. Irrespective of whether GMS turns out good or bad with his real Hearts career now beginning, you strike me as the type who will remain pessimistic and negative either way.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 5 minutes ago, Barack said: I'm more going along the lines of Walker would be given far more leeway, than what GMS will/would be. Folk were going ott over him, in the Championship when he was half fit. End of the season, you started seeing the results & improvements. Carried on into this, so far. Folk seem eager to ignore Jamie's faubles as he's "Hearts". To the extent they're happy to keep someone whose not fully fit around, on the assumption he could score a vital goal. Or what he has done in the past. In the same breath saying GMS & Gnando were/are lazy. "Not convinced." And so on. Walker will be lucky if he sees 10 games as a starter in the league this season, imo. Henderson is currently above him in the pecking order, on the back of recent showings. As for GMS. He's blatantly a confidence player. I hope for his sake, Tynecastle, once it is back to a decent capacity (8k for Celtic is a decent start) will mean he feeds off that. Working with Gino, Gnando & Boyce. The thing about Walker is he is good for at least 5-10 goals from midfield even if he's frustrating at times.
