socrates82 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 The closer we seem to get to signing lafferty the more i like him. Couldn't stand him at rangers and wasn't madly enthusiastic but would now love to see him for us. Very much the type of player we need if he's still got his legs.

DG_HMFC Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I would imagine Lafferty knows what level Hearts are at in terms of wages on offer. If he was driven by money, he would never have been up here the other day. That gives me hope that a deal will be struck and he will sign.

JI TEES Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 There is no way he was here just for a jolly...a blind man could see that his previous salary was outwith what we can offer...he has made his money...it's all about playing week in, week out which is what he will do at us.

J80MBO Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 In my opinion..decision he has is somewhere like ipswich for cash but might not get game Or someone like hearts for lower salary but be guaranteed to play and more likely to succeed...inturn get back in northern irelandd starting 11.

Bauld Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 If he signs with us he has a big opportunity. Doesn't act like a total bell and scores goals he will get noticed for international duty. All going to plan he's off to the world cup. At his age it could be his last chance of a world cup appearance as well. Money aside he will jump at that opportunity and he should also have all the motivation required to perform every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socrates82 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 If Berra can take a massive wage cut to get game time and play for a club he wants to play for I'd imagine Lafferty would consider it too, even without the prior connection to Hearts. He strikes me as someone who likes his bling going by that Bentley he drove at Rangers so I'd be surprised if he chose us over money but we'll see.

151 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Really hope this is true. Just want it pushed over the line asap so that we can then use Berra, Lafferty, Hughes and the new stand and added support to drive other big names to Tynecastle. I also hope he has cut out the silly play acting and diving from his game. The refs will be looking to punish him for the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 So Michael O'Neill might be encouraging Lafferty to come here to stay in N.Ireland squad While he encouraged Boyce to go to the Championship to increase his chances of place in N.Ireland squad. He also helped Aaron Hughes settle into Edinburgh and perhaps played a part in him signing for this season Michael O'Neill seems to like the Hearts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queensferryjambo Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 What was said? They were talking about the players coming in and strengthening the squad. Locke definitely was discussing how Berra coming back would give the team a real leader something we needed. Berra was talking about how exciting it was with the quality of players potentially coming in and the great feeling in the squad with the way they are coached and trained by Cathro. One of the two of them named Lafferty when they were talking about the quality of the players potentially coming in. That was about it. It was all positive stuff. Maybe someone else from the 200+ people in the Gorgie Suite today could verify if it was Locke or Berra who said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often complementing the club in conversation at a time when Romanov's behaviour was at its most erratic and it was easy to sling mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Whether it happens or not why are some people so astounded that Lafferty or McGregor may join Hearts? It's a natural course for some players. A realisation their day near the top has been and gone and that coming to Hearts on say 5k a week isn't a bad move at their age where they'll be first picks. Like Berra, maybe it's about home comforts now(Lafferty's missus apparently wants nearer home) , they've made their money and as they are at the tail end of their careers they'll get regular football here.

socrates82 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Recruitment going into the right direction IMO. Definitely and can add Niall Mcginn to the list of players we're supposedly interested in. They're all good players in positions we need strengthening. Getting them to sign is the hard part but you can't fault the list of targets so far.
