jbee647 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Not totally convinced by the reincarnation of David Templeton, never kicked a ball at Rangers for 3 years and failed miserably at Tannadice last season, I might consider taking him trial next summer, see if can keep his form up with Accies till the end of the season, take him on trial pre season and reassess his fitness levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 1 hour ago, Ryder said: It was. The best part was I picked up a copy of the paper to have a look for myself after reading his article online. There was a double page spread showing the stadium and the “abandoned Skoda” was a split new Skoda Octavia parked in the car park outside the ground. Romanov invited them in to his home and gave them food and drink and they essentially just stood in a wee huddle giggling and being rude. Then when they got back to the weeg Jackson battered out that horrendous article. The way Lithuanians were reported and treated by the press and in general was borderline racist. Shameful stuff. All the snide stuff about us and Hearts. Meanwhile still never a real critique of the crook who is David Murray. It also amuses me slightly when some see our country as forward thinking and it's only the English who act this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans love their club but they need to realise that to a player it's a profession and their chance to improve the lot of their families. He's not broken any laws simply exercised his rights not to sign a new deal as we have done in opting to sell him It does seem that way but has he passed the medical yet?

FarmerTweedy Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 5 hours ago, Diadora Van Basten said: Agreed that I won’t change people’s mind but I do want to reply to some of the negatives. 1. £300k is not a lot of money to spend in the transfer market. 2. Temps is fit and has started 19 matches this season. When you sign any player you take a risk that’s why you do a medical. I remember Hearts we’re going to sign John Brown from Dundee and didn’t because he failed a medical. This proved to be a mistake as he signed for Rangers and played every match. 3. If Hamilton would accept less then great but I doubt they will. I can absolutely guarantee you nobody will be offering them anything remotely close to £300k for Temps in January!

You have to be at the wind up. You can't possibly be so detached from reality that you don't think £300k is a lot of money for Hearts, and in Scottish football in general.

The behaviour of the likes of Hun Jackson, Prick Gordon and others from that shithole city they primarily work in, does them no credit whatsoever and shows them up for the ignoramouses they really are. I know Gordon is a sheep shagging wankpiece but you get my drift as he is usually to be found chugging his arse off at the Mhank shitehouse. These episodes and others have fuelled their dislike for our club, and the wank Gordon with his wee girly giggles really need to be taken to task. They would not last two minutes working for a decent broadcaster or newspaper instead of a tinpot company and a comic that I wouldn't wipe my dog's arse with. Feck the lot of them. Rant over. Richard Gordon is a snide *****. Chortling away on Sportsound. He's a ****ing disgrace. Sportsound is an old boys network.

Victorian Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Around that time, Jim McLean made a claim that the Lithuanians (and other foreign players at Hearts) were the cause of a cheating culture that had entered the Scottish game. Scottish Football had never and still has never admitted the truth to itself. It has a quite insane sense of moral superiority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One conclusion from the graph at the end is that there aren't many decent quality forwards in the SPFL, but we happen to have two of them. Reinforces the notion in my mind that we've mostly been missing linking play between our stellar back line and our decent forwards. Say, has anyone noticed that we could probably use a better left wingback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause he got a player of the month and has been injury free for 5months so he’s the answer to our problems. Personally i think he’s a gamble but if he did come in and maintained his performance level of late he could do a job at this level. Maybe a 100k punt if he maintained his performance level would be value for money but this 300k spunk on him is ludicurous. Even signing him for free could be a risk and we have slated the club for signing and taking a chance on players with an injury laden career because they haven’t worked out.

socrates82 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Temps for free on a pre contract or a nominal 20 grand or so fee now would be a good addition. With his injuries and long term lack of form though it would be odd to see him as a good replacement for Walker. Walker lost form and was injured for just a season or so and has been pilloried on here. Temps was in the wilderness for 3 or 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
