da betobet: As reported by The Daily Record, Jamie Walker has opened up about his failed summer transfer to Rangers.
What’s the story?
da betano casino: The Walker to Rangers speculation became something of a saga during the recent transfer window, with the Ibrox side still making attempts to sign him on deadline day.
The Record report that he could have been available for a fee of around £600,000.
The player himself has a philosophical view of the situation, believing that if the club really wanted him, they could have signed him. He even reckons that he could win a move next summer that’s bigger than better than heading to Ibrox.
As quoted by The Daily Record, Walker said:
If they really wanted me I think they’d have put down the money. It’s a massive club and if it doesn’t happen, I can still go on to bigger and better things. Rangers aren’t the be-all and end-all. It’s up to me to show what I can do and maybe get something better. In January I might have a few offers. I’ll be a free agent and if I’m playing well enough, there might be a decision to be made.
They aren’t exactly words that are likely to endear him to the Rangers support ahead of any potential Ibrox move for him in January but he is showing ambition and that should be attractive to any football fan.
His future
Walker has a lot of hard work ahead of him this season if he is to win that big move. All the interest in him this summer came off the back of a stellar season in which he scored 15 goals and provided seven assists for his teammates.
So far this term he has failed to live up to that contribution, playing nine times and failing to contribute directly to a single Hearts goal.
He has the talent, but with less than a year left on his contract, he needs to prove he has to motivation and self-determination to make this season another special one, otherwise his desired big move may not happen.
A role at Rangers
Rangers could definitely do with his services. Pedro Caixinha’s side have struggled to find a consistent performer on the left flank this season and Jamie Walker could’ve filled that role and provided a big threat to opposition teams.
Whether they’ll be in the market for him in January remains to be seen. Regardless, fans will be hoping they don’t come to regret missing out on him this summer.
