Lafferty moves to Rangers for undisclosed fee ( updated/merged )

[HMFC86]

It was £120k upfront rising to £200k if they win the league in his first contract ?

 

£800k + and all upfront. Interesting if we offer a new deal. 

 

Csn see him leaving with us using part off the cash ya bring in the Czech lad now.

Think spending that much on Vanecek would be a waste 

I wouldn't spend like to spend £200k on him for 4 extra months either, but we'll need him in if Lafferty goes so we'll need to pay whats being asked.

Hate to even use the words but in this situation we should do a Hibs and have Levein come out and say we'll only start discussions at £4m

Yeah, they get away with these lowball offers all the time. It just encourages them. We need one of Levein's cutting comments to put an end to them.

[A_A wehatethehibs]

That offer might as well be 0

If we lose Kyle and don't replace him we could be struggling by the time January comes and miles away from 2nd/3rd. No brainer to bring Vanecek in if we lose Kyle.

Supposed to be very decent

[SuperstarSteve]

Lafferty should be told he’s going nowhere, if he wants to walk at the end of the season then so be it, watching our top striker leave to a club we can compete with and should be trying to is a ****ing disaster! 

[indianajones]

We don't sell to league rivals. 

[robbies-tackle]

Sorry but Wallace is finished. Been out for a year now and injury not improving plus he's still got a year left on his contract at mega wages. I'm in the 'under no circumstances sell to those  tramps' camp. Would rather he left for nowt next year. However there is the problem that he might sign a pre-contract in January and down tools. 

[Beats]

Got no idea but he's coming in so unless we have another free on the horizon we need to bring him in asap. 

[Jambo, Goodbye]

 No chance they had even the tiniest expectation that we'd accept that offer. 

 

This is purely to try to unsettle our top goal scorer. 

 

Utterly scummy way to conduct yourself in the transfer market,  but then again,  new club,  same old shite. 

[MadJock]

Another year of Newco treating our club like our players are worth nothing.

 

I know this wont happen as money talks but we should not be selling players to our rivals, especially for insulting offers.

 

I do think he will go though, and it will be for an Undisclosed fee (seems to be the usual statement now) as unless he sings an extension the club are put in a terrtible situation of getting nothing

[sinks]

Have heard that Mrs Budge payed his gambling debts and if he leaves they would require to be paid back

[Mort]

Similar situation to Walker last summer, we were declining much higher bids and I would argue that Lafferty is worth much more than Walker. Why would we entertain something so low? Insulting. 

[Mister Dee]

No way should we be selling him -especially to that lot. 

 

£1m+ before I’d be interested in talking about it. 

 

He’s been good for us, but we’ve been good for him. 

Whos to say what being back at Rangers will do to him? 

[Gambo]

I hope we have not replied to that offer.

It is not deserving of a reply. 

[johnking123]

Would take Wallace for left hand side of defensive 3. We all agree Berra does not look comfortable there.

Certainly under no circumstances should we accept Wallace as a makeweight to cheapen the deal. We shouldn't be signing him at all in fact. He's done.

[heartsfc_fan]

Best case scenario for us would be Lee Wallace as part of the deal plus we get Vancek in and still have £700k left over.

He's not looked right pre season and Ikpeazu certainly put more effort in that other night when he came on.

 

I'd like him to stay but if he doesn't want to be here then....

[stranraer-jambo]

Can we change the title to "Sevco make a ridiculous derisory offer for Lafferty" 

 

Typical OF.  Unsettling players, treating other clubs in a condescending manner then rely on the MSM to continue this on their behalf.

Lafferty already looks unsettled, going by his last 2 performances. 

The blue sky and orange club tweets ect. 

It wouldn't surprise me if they spoke to him ages ago. 

 

I'd say he's definitely been illegally tapped up already, such is the sheer scumminess of that club!

Aye because that's the kind of thing that gets banded about the club and spread amongst folk who cant be trusted to keep their traps shut.

[tokyowalnut]

Don't see the benefit of Wallace coming back at all. It'd take until Christmas to get him fit enough to play.

That's a really good point. 

 

Rangers will be desperate to get him off the books. We would be doing them a massive favour taking Wallace.

What I don't understand is what they thought Hearts were going to do with that offer. At least Celtics offer for McGinn was a reasonable starting point for negotiations. 200k...All that tells me is Rangers are skint...not a chance lafferty was in SG's plans. He's gone to king and said we need a striker...Kings told him he's got 300k to buy one with and some genius has come up with Laffertys name.

 

They want to sign him on a pre-contract for free in January. They're just publicly making it known that they want him in case Lafferty was thinking about a signing a contract extension.

 

[Arnaud]

We should have an old firm realease clause in every player's contract, with the fee set at a (high) level where we would be comfortable selling to them. Explain upon signing that offers below that will not be entertained.

£200k is an absolute joke, but if people don't think his head will now be turned they are mental.  We shouldn't sell for less than £1m, anything else isn't worth it for us.

 

Absolutely spot on, think his tweet a few weeks back tells a lot more than some of the deluded on here refused to believe!

[jambopilms]

700k and let him go, Maclean is a better player and Ikepezu will score too. Lafferty was man down for many many games last year and as much  the reason for poor performances as any. 

 

[The Treasurer]

If reports are to believed, they (sevco) are paying 10x that to get an untried youngster ON LOAN.

I know this is not strictly against the rules as such but, as has been pointed out, this is as close to tapping up a player as you could get.

[farin]

Got to be a few who wouldn’t want him back after he refused to tupe over to the newco rangers. 

 

 

[Effervesance]

£200k

 

Just **** Off 

 

If he wants to go let him stew til next summer.

He scored 19 goals for us last season, you can't argue with that, when was the last time we had a striker who scored 19 goals for us?

Cheerio Lafferty, good while it lasted.  Nice to have an actual goal scoring forward for once and if he had a half decent midfield behind him I think he would’ve easily seen 20 goals.

It just had to happen eh? The msm will be salivating over this, we may even get a mention on Reporting glasgow.
