We all know that, CL and AB have said umpteen times - if the price is right the player is going. We have a stand to pay for so short term loan deals and free transfers are here for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VivaObua Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Lafferty scored 12 league goals for us last season, Sow got 9 before he left end of Jan. Loads of nonsense that he doesn't score goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupar Jambo Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 59 minutes ago, Paul Shark said: What utter nonsense. No matter what we all now think of Lafferty, at times he dropped back into a wide midfield role and worked his arse off for the team. Ross Co away last season probably being the best example. I remember Neilson trying to do the same with Sow and especially away from home, Sow was nowhere as good at it. Lafferty was excellent at Dingwall, down to 10 men, Henderson played up front himself did a great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osman Sow is out of contract with them in August. I'm not usually one for signing previous players but Sow would, imo, be a good addition to the squad and if we retain Naismith I don't think we would need to sign any more strikers. THOUGHTS? No thank you a , that would be a step down , we need to be looking forward not backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory might be failing me, but he played a season on loan, then went back to Kaunas. The start of the following season we got another striker on loan from Kaunas (name escapes me) big guy played in a derby at Tynecastle and was generally pretty rubbish. A few games into that season it was decided to bring Velicka back on a second loan deal. Edit just remembered it was Benusis who was the big striker.

So Make Some Noise.. Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I'd seriously question the judgement of anyone that doesnt think this would be a good move. The boy oozes class, is big, strong and quick. England didn't suit him, at Palace pre hearts or MK dons post hearts. Scottish football does and his physical yet quick and skillful ability will be a huge plus. I'd go as far to say that a fully fit Sow is +1 on Lafferty. Buzzing!
