JamboCampbell Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Openly wants to come back so money wouldnt be an issue. 100% he improves us and makes Uche earn his corn! Would ultimately mean the end for Kenna though and would think Maclean would see out 1 more year. If he doesnt cost that much in wages it would be daft to turn it down!

Tenor Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 So the headline is Kyle Lafferty wants Hearts return as he says Tynecastle move would be 'ideal'. Here's a few quotes from that article that suggest otherwise: "I’m gutted for my daughter that she won’t see me wear the Rangers shirt ... and that’s so hard to take. She’ll never see me play for the team that I love and the one she will support." - So, 'Daddy or chips' will be 'daughter or Hearts'... 🙄 "People don’t realise how big a club they (Hearts) are" - aye, we do! "We (Rangers) can definitely win the league and go on to win a cup." - you don't ****ing play for them anymore! "I’ll watch all the games I can and wherever I am or whatever club I’m with I hope to be free for the last game for Rangers and watch them lift the trophy." - Well you'll no be at this one, ya devious prick!

The mention of Hearts in the article comes across more of convenience of not having to move to another country. He's a fud and his interview proves that.

KyleLafferty Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If that was say Jamie Walker(even though he’s a hearts fan) saying that about Rangers then no one would want him.

He also didn't get much service given how weak the squad was then. Would I start him, no I'd rather Washington and Naismith. Would I rather he came on over MacLean, Wighton or Uche... yes.

Deevers Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 He has certainly laid out his stall looking to come back to us. I'd have him back. He is a proven goal scorer.

magicjohnston Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Was open to him coming back if it suited our budget...that was until I read the full article that was a complete Rangers love-in!

chester copperpot Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 You sure Levein wouldn't want him back. Levein really likes him from what I am told. I'd like this to happen as him and Washington would be brill up front IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil_Grant Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I can't recall any other Hearts striker who has performed reasonably well, delivered a decent goal-tally yet who at the same time is just so unlikeable. I've just never taken to him. (on-field or off-field) I'm not sure if it's his nasty demeanour, his history of cheating or that awful unionist song that an embarrassing section of our support sing about him that's made me feel this way. I'd be very disappointed if he were to return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haken Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I get the feeling - based on nothing much - is that Naismith isn't a fan of 'the big man'. He admits to not trying in training for the team he absolutely loves; he's hardly going to apply himself any better anywhere else. No thanks. You made your bed. Rangers reject.

gashauskis9 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 He’s a grade A stroker. I can think of better players to warm our bench than someone who’ll be wearing a full Rangers kit under his Hearts kit just in case by some miracle the team he loves comes back in for him.

TexasAndy Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Would he improve our squad? Big time. Would it give us good options up front? Yes. Do I care who he supports? No. Get him back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouLetYourClubDie Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 You can't have too many good strikers who score goals at the club so for that reason I do not let who he supports or dafties singing a song put me off. Football wise he would improve us. Ultimately it is up to Levein and Budge though as they are the only ones who know what went on behind the scenes last time and what he is like as a man.

Finlay James Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 With Naismith, Walker, Washington, Ikpeazu, Mulraney, we have plenty of guys who can score and create goals.

If we have 5 strikers in a squad that will typically play 1 or 2 max, then it’s a waste of o wage and restricts development through the Academy. We could sign two solid midfielders at this level for his wage demands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 He's not needed now but I wouldn't lose any sleep over signing a player who loved another club.
