David Templeton
McKinnon saying in today's Scottish S*n that although you can see the lads a player he is overweight and massively unfit as it stands.
looks like we won't be seeing him in action anytime soon.
It was Templeton who asked Cammy Bell to approach the club btw.Showed up at our game v Raith as well to support the lads which impressed Ray.

Re: David Templeton
Think Bell will have talked the club up. Good to hear about his attitude though.
Too much commotion

Re: David Templeton
I guess he'll be traveling from the west to St Andrews with Cammy Bell?
At the very least he may well be one for 2017/18.
At most he may be good for the run-in, April/May.

Re: David Templeton
He'd be a good signing when fit. It's not going to happen tho, we can't afford to pay any more wages out.

Oh yes we can.
We had money put aside for John West, most of which we didn't need in the end.

If you say so mate. Time will tell, but I wouldn't go buying a shirt with his name on anytime soon unless he's willing to play for fuck all.

Re: David Templeton
Very much sounds like he is getting offered a contract till the seasons end.
BUT
McKinnon saying his plan is to have him available for the last FOUR OR FIVE GAMES!!
WTAF??
How unfit is the laddie ffs?

Re: David Templeton
I'd rather wait Tek till he's definitely ready (if he ever will be definitely ready, we hope so) cos supposing they introduce him as a 30-minute subbie in a couple of weeks & he's no way match fit & has a stinker what pelters would Ray get and how disappointed would we be?
By the end of March we've still got half a dozen league games left he can be involved in after maybe getting a couple of 90 mins in the Dev games.

Been injured for 18 months.
So would imagine he's about two pre-seasons away from being fit lol.
In all seriousness though, I dont think we'll offer him anything til he proves his fitness. RM keeps saying cant afford to get signings wrong. Dont think he'll gamble here.

Re: David Templeton
My point was more ...why is he so massively unfit?
Christ wee Charlie Miller was drinking pints everyday after training at the snooker hall and still gave us 90 every week.

If he's been out for 18 months, then not just unfit but has likely lost a fair bit of muscle mass. He can get the cardio back with hard training for a month but the strength that comes with the muscle mass will take longer to get back. Just guessing.
Fair point.
Still seems a bit of a long timeframe to get the lad fit (3 months).
but what do i know?
