My guess is that would be a potential return for Lafferty. He just doesn't fit within our squad dynamic, in that he would need very careful handling, and would in all possibility he would have issues with a few of our senior players after what he did at Tynecastle last year.

Parking the obvious gulf in talent Skacel played left back at most other clubs, he was an attacking midfielder and then given virtually a free role in his second spell. A player who played in 2 Cup winning teams versus a guy who led us to a glorious 6th in the league and was shit in the cup quarter final against Motherwell, his most important game at the club.

Dayman Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 “I like being held accountable provided I’m given responsibility,” says MacPhee. “For example: People say, ‘don’t sign Kyle Lafferty because he’s trouble’. I say, ‘Sign Kyle Lafferty and I’ll be accountable for it but give me the responsibility of dealing with him at times where he’s annoying you’. That’s a risk, eh? But it went well. He did well at hearts because macphee did very well to man manage him. Despite what the obviously sensitive souls on here say, he didn’t really do much wrong at all whilst here. Tried his ass off, scored goals, showed passion, then got us a substantial fee to sign for his boyhood club. He’s now realised he had it good at hearts and wants back. Sign him up as long as macphee is ok with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozi Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Well the interview with Lafferty is an agents nightmare, pretty much puts him in an impossibly shite negotiating position. If Lafferty wants to come back he will have to accept a huge reduction in wages, though he will no doubt have got a decent payoff I don’t care if he is an imbecile, I don’t care if he loves TheRangers, I don’t care if he puts a Queen mask on his missus prior to coitis, I don’t even care if all the wee bigots would hail him like a returning hero...he scored goals in big games and if its right for the club then I would take him back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts1975 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 He wants back, dont think he would be difficult to deal with, no fee, low risk .. I know this will be a controversial decision, and I was extremely pissed when he left us but, and if it happens, if he gets his head down, and focusses on the team and scoring goals for us (which he has proved he can do) what’s there to think about. Cutting off your nose to spite your face springs to mind if the against argument put forward is excess baggage etc get him in Craig . Keep reading all this shite about how if we bring him back he will encourage the bigots to increase in number etc lot of pish imo ... the red hands and Union Jack flags have been in the ground a lot longer than Kyle Lafferty Very easy to make a player a scapegoat for bigotry and excuse the bigots for their own despicable behaviour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to admit I'm a bit surprised by that. I think he is being loose with the truth here. His pay last season was bolstered by monthly payments from Norwich as part of his pay off from them. So he took a pay cut from the total he was being paid by both Hearts and Norwich together. For everyone saying he’d add a lot to the team? No he wouldn’t if every senior player in the team thought he was a twat and he was a disruptive influence on the squad as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 2 hours ago, SM Sheffield said: The club have a limited budget and there are more pressing areas that need addressing in the squad. Midfield options are far more important than bringing back Lafferty. For him to come back strikers would need to be moved on Wighton and McLean then. Even if he wasn't playing all of the games I think he'd score more than those two to be fair. Wouldn't lose any sleep losing either of them or even if we didn't get Lafferty.
