Regardless, I think signing Lafferty did bring some cretins out of the woodwork, but I think thats irrelevant in assessing whether or not he's worth the risk. He's in his last spell at the huns, they're his club and on some level he's 'living the dream'. Will his motivation still be there come the end of his time at the huns? I dunno. I'd like to believe theres professional pride but unless he's settled in Scotland the wages we'd need to offer would have to be significant (as would contract length). Is that a risk worth taking?

I'm guessing that in the house you have access to the internet and therefore Google or another search engine. Have a look at the women who he, Kyle Lafferty, has been romantically involved with. I think you might be surprised to discover just how many of them are what you refer to as green, as a starting point and very few if any fit into the bracket you have placed him.

I know a fair number of Rangers' guys over here and the disproportionate number who are hooked up with Catholic partners is more than "surprising". Good guys in the main but many still carry the old "traditions", still, it would seem their "beliefs" only carry as far as when it comes to fitba. I suppose that's a positive.

Had gathered great speed by the time the league cup campaign arrived and was a firm favourite in the pubs before we played Dunfermline away. Was a great catchy tune, sung to the tune of Ebola Gay, with good lyrics, namely ‘his hair is fine, he scores belters all the time’ However it upset quite a number of fellow jambos due to the second last line that was incredibly cringe worthy. Was sung at mostly away games than home games so not a lot of people were familiar with it. Song was buried before it really took off with KL’s departure to the orcs.

OTT Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I'd take him back tbh. Better than what we have, likely better than what we'll get. Does he still have the drive now he'll probably never play for the hun again? He's an arsehole, but we already knew that. I just would rather he was our arsehole. Wouldn't pay a penny for him though, huns would need to cut loose. Odds of that happening? Unlikely, will probably be out on load to get him off the wage bill.

Kiwidoug Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I think the prospect of him returning depends on two things. First and most important, does he want to. Secondly, if he does, Hearts interest would be based on how they rated him first time around. My recollection is that not only did he score goals and play well but that he was a major influence on the training field and in the dressing room. He acknowledged that Hearts supported him brilliantly over personal issues and Hearts were great for him. My take is that he will be coming back. We cant score goals. He can. Him and SN facing Hibernian would fill me with confidence. No idea why he failed at ibrox but he did and that could be great for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The issue with Lafferty is I don’t think Naismith likes him much, he certainly doesn’t respect him for his career to date.

If he doesn't, I'll not be fussed. He is a big game player, or was for us. He is also a bit of a fudd, but tbh, we could do with a few more fudds, it's football not chess club and a couple of annoying, daft picks isn't a bad thing.

Maple Leaf Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I don't know if Lafferty is the answer, but something has to be done about that abysmal GD in the League last year. Lafferty would be worth a shot, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gone, forget him and move on I know what you mean about bringing back former players, but it's not always a bad idea. Berra and Robbo worked out well for us, for example. Lafferty is a complex person, maybe even a problem character, but he did score 19 goals for us in a year, and nobody since then has come close to that. And a look at our GD from last season makes it clear we need to be scoring more. Personally, I wouldn't be too quick to reject the idea of a return. It's worth considering, imo.

Bridge of Djoum Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Yes we need goals, but if we hang our hat on KL as our main goal threat and he has his head turned by another club and easy/bigger money, he will be off like a shot.
