With Hemir, he obviously has the pedigree to suggest there is a good player somewhere in there, the problem seemed to be desire or lack thereof, perhaps flopping so badly this early in his career can be the motivation/kick-up-the-arse he needs to sort himself out and reach his potential.
 
Benfica offered him a new deal, having had him several years and Juve went after him, twice.

And folk still insist there isn’t a player in there? ****ing hell.

Good luck to the lad.
We can judge what we’ve seen whilst he’s been here

He’s been garbage whilst representing SAFC.

He’s been garbage whilst representing SAFC.

He has never had a run and he had his confidence destroyed by Mowbray.

We can’t judge **** from what we have seen.

Benfica judged him over something like 8 years.

I fancy Benfica know how to judge a player, they have a tiny bit of previous.

He had nowt to go at here. He leaves, for me, as a ‘nothing to report’ not a failure. You have to have a chance to fail.
 
We must be watching different players, then.
I tend to view all the 'heart' and 'desire' stuff as a load of nonsense tbh. Usually it's a misunderstanding of what is actually happening. There's nowt wrong with Hemir's desire - just as there's nowt wrong with Ekwah's. The issue may be one of focus, fitness or understanding of the role, but to describe the player as making a conscious choice not to put it in is IMO bollocks. Football fans would be clutching their pearls if someone was to suggest that a lack of noise in a stadium was down to a lack of heart or desire on the fans part. The reality is that apart from very isolated cases, these lads are trying.
