Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Where did you hear this, appears to be under contract down south. Posted 3rd October 2015 at 12:06 pm Harriers announced the signing of Zaine Francis-Angol in October 2015. Still just at the young age of just 22, the London-Born left-sider has plenty of senior experience. After progressing through the youth system of Tottenham Hotspur and, later, Motherwell, the player went on to make more than 70 domestic and European appearances for the Fir Park outfit before leaving in the summer. Comfortable on the left of midfield or at left-back, Zaine has agreed a contract with the club that initially runs until January.

Michael W Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Well, we probably are going to need an LB... If McKeown is indeed still considering an offer, Locke's been a lot more patient than McKinnon was with Paul Watson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 i Didn't we get John Sutton from a similar programme years ago ? True. Just appears to me that Locke is unable to attract any signings and is now just desperately looking at random free agents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 According to The Sun we're interested in David Templeton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 According to The Sun we're interested in David Templeton. Extremely injury prone but when he's fit, he's a really good player. I'd take him on a pay as you play deal. Or at the very most, a 6 month deal until January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I thought Templeton was rank-rotten at Rangers. I'm not sure it's a position we really need to look at either, with wide players in Johnstone and Barr on the books. Wasn't it pointed out in some of the interviews that Darren Jackson had good contacts down south, or was that just someone starting a rumour on here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I'd far rather we went all out and got Connolly over Templeton who is the epitome of injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 If you do sign Moore, hopefully he won't be too badly affected by ghost nuns, gypsy horses and gangsters: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/haunted-nun-ghost-threatened-gangsters-8184468#OoHKbF4L4VHzAW5k.97 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be being very unfair here but I think Locke will be as rigid a '442 with a big man up front' type of manager as you'll ever see. If he's going to do that he needs more than two wingers as Grant Murray seen in 12/13 where Anderson and Cardle played every game despite fatigue/form and we went from top at Christmas to avoiding the relegation play-offs on goal difference. Templeton? Totally ruined his career quite literally overnight when he went from goal scorer at Anfield to Scottish bottom tier for some cash and has done virtually nothing since. Whether he's got the desire/ability to turn that around and play for us isn't something any of us know. Manager has to make a judgement call really - and his injury record certainly suggests he'd be a risk, something we already have with Johnston... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I'd far rather we went all out and got Connolly over Templeton who is the epitome of injury. I would much rather have Connolly than Templeton at this point, I'm not sure he's even injured any more and has barely kicked a ball in two years.

Manager has to make a judgement call really - and his injury record certainly suggests he'd be a risk, something we already have with Johnston... Spot on about 12/13. Worth noting that season just gone we had Connolly, Longridge, Anderson and Craigen as specialist wide players, but also with Stewart and Panayioutou who could play there as well - even at the start of the season we could count on three specialist bodies in that role (Anderson, Megginson, Craigen). Locke surely wouldn't be so stupid as to try and get by with just Johnston and Barr. So we do need more bodies in there, I'd be overjoyed if we could get Connolly back in and add someone who was a bit more like Craigen in that tuck in from wide role. Add some competition for Stewart up front and make sure we have a left back and we'd be not looking to bad. on the 4-4-2 front, I'd hope he'd deviate a wee bit, last season Connolly nominally started from a wide right position but tended to drift around a bit in a freeer role. If we could get him back, then a 3 of him, Vaughan and Johnston behind a centre forward would be a fairly skillful, if short arsed front line.
