I don't care how much he loves Rangers. To be frank I trust him to score more than any of our current forwards and for that reason I'd love it if he signed for us. Wighton & Keena out on loan and Laff in would be lovely.

 

This. Folk thinking he would purposefully miss a goal against Rangers 🤣

 

Despite your opinions on the man’s character, he’s still a football professional. 

[chazza74]

People in here desperate to sign Cummings, same guy who giruy to us at Easter road but wouldn’t take a proven goalscorer back .

No brainer for me , contract to end of the season surely

By all means bring him back on a pay as you play deal and only play him against Celtic and Hibs.

I like this! He always was useful in those games. 

[StevenNaismith]

I’d snap your hand off to have him back, that view isn’t shared by the two most influential people at the club unfortunately.

I think senior members of the squad would be asked their opinion on this one...for example, would Naismith be happy with Kyle coming back etc?

 

Personally, I wouldn't have him back...he may have scored goals, but he brought out the worst of some sections of the support.

 

Think money would be better spent on some quality in midfield.

Cannae blame him for wanting to come back, he’s obviously seen our new 3rd kit 😍

[Bungalow Bill]

Sounds to me like we could get him on our terms this time round. This is a no brained for me. Give me Laff over Wighton every day of the week.

Again - we're not party to what happens behind the scenes - so have to trust the two key people running the club. 

 

I'd speculate that good character and influence on future team mates (especially youth) is highly valued. Anything which is likely to disrupt / compromise this is not going to help some transfer targets.

 

lafferty first time round was given a fair chance and AB and the club had to put a lot of work into him (according to rumour). I would imagine AB et al would rather put that effort in elsewhere.

Even during his plea to come back, he's still going on about The Rangers winning the league & calling them "we". Time to move on. 

[Paris 84]

Please god no!! The last thing we need is encouragement for our sectarian element to have a ‘go-to-song’ which they can belt out with impunity. 

 

Apart from that, I thought 90% of the time he was hopeless. 

[HMFC86]

I’d pass. Loved him when he was here, but I’d rather we used any money to improve the midfield and goalkeeper. 

 

The comment about wherever he is he hopes he’s free to see Rangers last game it the season 🤦🏼‍♂️

[heartandsoul]

Was buzzing when we signed Lafferty and most of the Hearts support took to him as he did to us. However as soon as sevco came calling and he signed for his beloved newco that changed everything. He was well looked after by Hearts and then proceeded to throw it all away. So it's a no from me regarding him coming back. He made his bed so let him lie in it.

90 is a bit harsh I’d say 50, Seriously overrated player who had a great season goals wise in a maroon jersey. We got a great deal selling him to Rangers and I’d be astonished if Levein even gave it a second thought to bring him back. As someone else said on here if money’s available for another wage then a new goalie would be more sensible.

Good points you’ve made there 

[PaulHartley10]

I'd take him back but it seems Levein's comments about his IQ are bang on. He may have been allowed back but you'd imagine that after Levein, MacPhee and Naisy have read the full article it'll be a no.

 

Begging for a return and bumming Rangers in the same article...only Lafferty

Improves the team. Bring him back.

For us? He scored that worldly at Murrayfield from memory - 30 yard free kick into the top bin.

No idea but he scored 19 last time and there isn’t anyone at the club who will do that apart from possibly Naismith

Personally, i’d write it into players’ contracts as a prerequisite !

It's the new age, millennial Hearts fan. They need to tell us all day, every day, how much they hate Rangers so as not to be seen as mini "huns" whilst giving Celtic and their wonderful supporters pretty much a free ride at the same time. Great isn't it?

Lafferty didn't know how good he had it here. Idiot.

How can you sound the charge when you're in reverse?

 

 

 

 

[chester copperpot]

I couldn't care who he supports, what his leniances are  if he can find the onion bag, then he's ok with me.

 

Some players suit certain clubs. Rudi was shite pretty much everywhere else but was an absolute legend for us.

 

In his one season here, Kyle was brilliant. For that reason I'd have him back.

 

Only if it doesn't piss off Naismith though. Naismith, Washington and Lafferty is a top 3 front line IMO.

It's a difficult one, baggage vs goals.

 

I don't think Budge would have him back tbh.

It's really easy for most of us, equally despising both arse cheeks. Bit of a tall order for you though.

You'd imagine the article would have been about his time at Rangers and at the end he's been asked about his future and it's been made a headline.

 

Still, file under not happening.

In an ideal world I wouldn't have him back but you're right he does give us goals and one would expect his wage demands to be reasonable given that HE wants to sign for US.  Also I would not want him joining, say, the vermin or Killiie etc and scoring goals against us, especially if they're winning ones.

Yep this is where I'm at, he obviously wants to stay in Scotland and knows outside his rangers the next best is hearts, 

With the team we have he fits in well,

All about attitude and application TBF 

[R08813]

Don't know if this has been mentioned but he said in his interview that he took a pay cut to go to rangers... Have to admit I'm a bit surprised by that. 

[Section Q]

Says he took a pay cut to sign for huns. Must be a first if true.....😁😁😁

Oh look, it's a supporter who has listened to the message the club are putting out, realised that it makes sense to break away from this shitey divide and conquer nonsense that we have all fell for, and getting behind it so that we can move forward. "Naw it's no, yer either fur us or against us." "What aboot them?" What aboot them? Who cares aboot them? Whichever them you want to bring up it makes no difference to Hearts.

[goldie83]

Get him signed!! 20 goals in 44! Numerous against the Hibs and Celtic! Why would anyone not want him.....”he brings out the worst in some sections of the crowd”, “he left us for Sevco” .......who cares. Hearts have become this Nancy, nice club where were all supposed to be super friendly and family orientated. I get that to some degree but looks what’s happening on th pitch. The mentality is wrong. So wrong! Yes a few neds might bring their union jacks and sing a song or two. Oh no how am I going to sleep at night. 2 neds had a Union Jack.......I need Budge to “stamp” it out. As for going to Sevco it’s the lads club if I was a Hamilton player and once lived the dream and played for Hearts and had the chance to go back there for extra cash that I was on also I’d be off quicker than he was! Get back to winners, characters and people that know what it means to play for the famous and we’ll get back on the road to success.

Whoever is injured or not fit would sit out - I take the point you are making, but we haven't had all the strikers fit and up to speed since Lafferty left (and they aren't even now), so not really worried who starts on the bench.

Aye, the abuse dished out to Rangers and Celtic on here is very even handed. Almost identical. 🙄

[Inch Hearts]

Get him back.  He’s made to score goals for hearts.

[busby1985]

He’s as daft as a bag of frogs and one of the stupidest people you’ll ever meet but he scores goals. Every player has a club that just suits them, Rudi, Hartley, Naismith more recently and Lafferty as well. I wouldn't care he loves Rangers, I wouldn’t  care that he wants them to do well etc if he was doing the business for us. Let’s also not pretend he’s only just fallen in love with Rangers, he loved them when he became the closest hearts striker to bag 20 goals in a season since Robbo. He also talks very highly of us and always happy to see us do well. I’d take him back in a heart beat, but it’s not going to happen. Levein and Budge won’t want him back, he’d also have some making up to do with Berra as they’ve fell out.

We need a goalscorer. Would take him back in a heartbeat.
