stan Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 You don't have to like someone to appreciate their quality. He is a proven prolific goal scorer for Hearts who brought victory in significant matches. Could he replicate that? Dunno, but ruling him out on basis of his Rangers background is immature.

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. Naismith scored 14 and he missed November, December, March, April and May. If he'd managed to fit in that missing 5 months of football I can guarantee he'd have been on about 25 by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnaud Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Wish people would stop quoting this 19 goals figure. Makes him sound much more prolific than his 12 league goals. As a team, we scored more league goals this year than the year before with him in the team. It's about value to the team, including link up and assists, not just who scores the goals. There is no indication that we will score more goals with him in the team, simply that he will get a decent proportion of those scored because of the type of player he is (ie goals and not much else). And still an arsehole who won't celebrate if he scores a 94th minute winner at Tynecastle against Newco. No thanks.

TyphoonJambo Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 i think the ghosts in his closet could prove to much of an issue for a second tie. Unless of course, as is extremely possible, all the rumors of his relapses are bolloxs! I also think there could still be some issues between him and Naisy. That also could be internet fake news, who knows? Personally, as a goal scorer alone I would love to see him with us again. Craig and the tea will know a lot ore than us. If he does return then it would indicate all the rumors are indeed crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC 86 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 He scored a lot of goals, but I wasn’t ever convinced he was a team player. Despite his goals we were not good in the final third last season as well. I would prefer we improve midfield creativity and up front with others, rather than bringing lafferty back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise it was a direct choice between one or the other. Point remains, we want to sign players who will help the TEAM to score the most goals, which is not necessarily the one that scores most himself. Again, we scored more league goals this season than we did last, even with Lafferty's huge 12 goal haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romulus Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Wighton, Maclean and Vanecek are not going to cut it this year.

soonbe110 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) There’s only one reason why media, Glasgow based, are suggesting that he comes back to us and that’s to save their beloved club the circa £450k they are still due us. Question - who on here would pay £450k to buy Lafferty? If he comes back that’s effectively what we are doing. The money could be much better spent imo Edited May 29, 2019 by soonbe110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byyy The Light Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Lafferty is a prize bellend. 12 league goals not worth all the baggage and wages that come with it. Refused to celebrate scoring against Rangers at Murrayfield and went way over the top after Rangers beat us at Tynecastle. He’s a rat. Big no from me.

Whatever Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 No club will again get out of KL what we did last season. He was motivated purely to get his move that would inflate his bank balance. Not a particularly good team player, attitude questionable and a bit of an arsehole truth be told. It worked out well for all concerned last season but it would be a massive mistake taking him back. Not that it’ll happen with CL at the club thankfully and KL will take some shifting off his big salary at Ibrox. Move on. We can find new heroes.
