tian447 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'm very much doubting that Lafferty is off to a Chinese club, especially after the Chinese Super League brought in a rule about foreigners: Quote The league has rules, however, restricting the number of foreign players strictly to five per team, including a slot for a player from AFC countries. A team could use a maximum of four foreign players on the field each game. This is to promote native player improvement and to conform to rules regarding international club competitions in the AFC. There is also a policy that states the team must have more U23 players than foreign players. Can't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny1874 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Would hate to see Lafferty go. While there are those who appear to have been on his back recently, he’s a massive player for us (not just in height) both on and off the park. As MacPhee pointed out a while back, Hearts require a striker with a certain type of attitude and personality in order to flourish as our fans aren’t afraid of being vocal. Lafferty fits this mould - not many strikers do. Isma, for example, has never really connected with the supporters and while he’s shown that he has bags of talent, I think the pressure of being a front man for our club gets to him and impacts his game greatly. Ideally, and probably being a tad too optimistic here: Lafferty stays, a club comes in for Isma, and we replace him with Sow - knows the club, the fans love him, had a very decent scoring record with us and he only appears to have played 15 games for MK Dons so could happen. Not sure how long he has on his contract there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templeton would improve us but is he not out of contract. You could get him for nothing if you wait, maybe the better option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section G The Place To Be Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Would hate to see Lafferty go but if it’s for a million then we can’t turn that down. What about this. 1 million for Lafferty Use 500k to tie Naismith into a 2/3 year deal. 400k offer for Caden with addons after X amount of games/caps and a sell on percentage Sign McGeough on a pre contract offer £100k to the wee team to take him now instead of in summer. 2 very good players in and signed up. One very good experienced players signed permanently for a couple of years at the cost of losing Lafferty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if the club receive a big offer and they accept it then Lafferty might think he’d be doing us a favour getting big money for the club. If its the Chinese market he could be back within a year. Having made a lot of money. A last big pay day maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAlim Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Isma and Lafferty score goals in this league, but if we can get say 1.5/2 million for the pair of them then I wouldn't lose sleep, we would definitely need to replace them but with that sort of money plus the wages they'd free up we should be able to get about four players in of similar or better quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 If isma goes we definitely need a bit creativity. Although his decision making can be atrocious for an adult football player, he tries things and like his back heel n Sunday he's maybe the only player now that tries this sort of thing. If we get money and one or two in - we'll be laughing. Lafferty, be a shame, but if he gets one last chance to earn stupid money and bags us a fee- he goes with my blessing.

Cruyff Turn Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 anything north of 500k for Isma would be decent money. Im interested to see how this Naismith / Lafferty combo works though, so hopefully we're less inclined to sell him, unless it's good money. We could sell both and bring in a better striker and a midfielder, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Kyle has more than embodied teamwork since he arrived. In fact I can’t believe how much he fights for the team as I did not expect that from him at all. He’s a big name in British Football terms. Players of his calibre attract better players - see Naismith. It’s about time we tried to raise the status of this club. Everything is in place to do so.

Brauhauser2012 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hopefully we might still sign another player. We are still short of creativity up front and if the options we have get injured as we saw recently we don't have the depth to deal with it. When some teams are determined to kick us off the park we need these options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of where I am. I had some concerns about Lafferty's character and the potential negative impact he could have on the dressing room. But, from what I've read, he appears to have slotted in ok and I don't imagine players like Berra would allow him, or anyone else, to cause any snash. Just my view. I think the prospect of Lafferty and Isma both going would be madness. Replacing two strikers in January? Not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
