Armageddon Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 But you forgot Lafferty is a rich man and has no need to free load plus why would he feck about with his career and put in jeopardy his world cup place with NI.?? Ha aye there is that. He's not coming to Scotland for the money that's for sure and if he doesn't come to us then Nanny MacPhee won't be able to ensure he's in that WC squad!

Escobar PHM Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 a lot of folk question his goal scoring record being poor. yet not seen anyone mention fact much of his career he has not played as out and out striker. if you were to look at his goal scoring record while playing as a striker I am pretty sure be decent (as his international record reflects) Are we planning to play him as a stiker given that we are almost completely bereft of wide attacking players now ?

Bazzas right boot Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Wouldn't make me upset at all - I just don't get the hype around him, and don't think he is all that good.... and will be one of these players who thinks he is better than he is, and is probably not the best rolemodel for our younger players - comes across as arrogant, argumentative, and a show off. So please stop assuming things about me Arrogant, argumentative and a show off is what we need? You know we're a Football team not a knitting club? He could be a great role model, what are you basing all this on? Your mum tell you he's a bad man who drinks beer and humps beautiful women and to avoid folk like that incase he break's your heart?

RustyRightPeg Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Are we planning to play him as a stiker given that we are almost completely bereft of wide attacking players now ?

Generic Username Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Partly agree but he chooses to take a wage from the "paper" that most people including yourself view as abhorrent. Its beyond guilt by association , its a conscious decision to work for a scum paper by taking a wage he endorses the paper. He as a person / journalist are discredited by him endorsing the "paper". I think The Sun is a rag and I'd never buy it or advocate buying it but you'll be hard pushed to find a better, more thorough young journalist working at a major news paper. This isn't "he must be good because he works at The Sun" - he's good in spite of that fact because it must be very easy to just fall in and cover the Old Firm constantly. I appreciate it's hard to separate the two things here. You see "Sun journalist Kenny Miller" and automatically turn your nose up/get angry given the publication in question. You can still hate The Sun and all it stands for and be disgusted at what it's done before and accept that Kenny is a solid and dependable source. Or you can't, in which case you get to keep thinking he's a Hibs dick. The world will keep spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Could be a system where you have a keeper and 3 central defenders, 2 wing backs and a target man, the other 4 will then play around the target man trying to exploit the pockets of space, feed the wing backs and get bodies into the box. That's what I see happening, not really that clever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laffertys NI place is safe, he's started while barely playing at all at Norwich and he'll still start whether he's at Hibs, Hearts or anyone else. It's Northern Ireland, he's their 2nd top record goalsorer and they've hardly got Higuain and Dybala in reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dia Liom Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 If he doesn't sign today i would be tempted to tell him to bolt especially if it is to speak to the tramps. That seems a bit daft! Should we only sign players who see playing for hearts as the absolute pinnacle? I'm sure Osman Sow had at least spoken to Hibs at some stage.

I think you know that though Not necessarily, Lafferty has done zip for Norwich/Birmingham/some Turkish mob and still gets his game for NI. In fact, I'm sure he's picked up injuries whilst playing for his country then spent ages out his club team. It is a massive gamble to take on the player but if it pays off we will reap the dividends.

savage Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Totally agree that our management team should tell our top striking target to bolt, can't have anyone making a few spammers on JKB a little impatient now can we. Who cares what he'd bring to the team. Let me get this right i am a spammer cause i don't want a player ripping the urine out our club. I want lafferty to sign and i hope all the chat is rubbish but after 3 days if he wants to speak to hibs or anyone else i would rather we moved on.

Hagar the Horrible Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The evening news know feck all!!!! The sad thing is we once a time used to all have to rely on getting our news from a newspaper that not only was hours/days behind a story, but nearly always inacurate even at time of publishing, but the reporters were making it all up and not realy ITK that much, but we all swallowed up an individuals opinion as gospel and that the masses also share the diatribe? The relaity is the written media is obsolete, we a re all journos now, we all have a voice, and we all get the chance to offer our unedited voices to a world wide audience.

It will be very interesting to see how he's utilized if he signs, I would guess assurances will be made that he will be the number 1 forward.

I never said his goalscoring record was "very good"...my words "I am pretty sure be decent" goal ratio if take only his record as out and out striker but to answer your question why he may have not played as often as a striker is that players that are versatile often to struggle to hold down one position due to fact as soon as injury or suspension will be shifted. to use a hearts example Eggert jonsson. his position of choice was holding midfield. but as soon as we had full back or centre half issue he would be shifted to cover. he could never get a run at one position for sustained period.
