Doubt it very much. 

Stendels own men hash tag. 

Looking for pace and energy hash tag.

Anne "Austin, you need to help get new targets in for Daniel" 

Austin "ok I can do that, I have great contacts"

Austin.... So who is Irish and out of contract 🤔

Issue is he would want a reasonable Length of contract , where i think our idea would be till the end of this season (if any truth in it.)

One goal in twenty games?

I think we were lucky first time round

Rather have Washington and Boyce

I’m not averse to bringing KL back but I do question whether he has the work ethic to be part of a DS team. Time will tell I guess.

Can see this happening now that CL isn’t involved with the first team.

 

Wasn't it Craig Levein who relaunched Lafferty's club career, supported him when he had gambling issues and made him our highest scoring striker in god knows how long, and then allowed him to move to his favourite team in return for a very good fee for us?

It need to be him plus someone else, don’t think we can rely on him everytime but if free and demands not too high I’d say yes. Him and Boyce would give us good options up top

Yep, that’s where I sit just now. 
 

We also apparently want a clear out, CL and AM having no say in things any more. 
 

Id be surprised if Daniel Stendel has identified Kyle Lafferty as a target without AM input.

Aye. One good thing in the past 4 years is alright I suppose. Well done Craig 👍

Lafferty turned up when he wanted to. Aye, he had more talent than the rest of our strikers but he's even older and even slower now. 

 

Move on. 

 

Stendel to make his own team

 

Macphee can do one.

No thanks. Talented but Lazy, inconsistent, few, if any assists and troublesome behind the scenes. He also emboldens the bigots. I think we can do better. 1 goal in 20 appearances in Norway, his most recent gig, is not good!

More of a goalscorer than Uche, McLean and Wighton put together could do a job to keep us up, a character with an edge with a bit swagger , maybe not for next season, we're not exactly minted and a good experienced option and did well for us before As long as he is fit, has a good attitude and wants to play for us, it could be a win win 

The January window isn't the best for options unless you can afford big transfer fees

What’s his motivation this time round?

 

It was getting his move to Rangers previously.

 

Look at his career stats. His year with us was the anomaly.

 

Would also raise yet more questions about our current structure.

 

I understand desperate times call for desperate measures but it’s a no from me.

The coaching team has more important things to do just now than baby sit his ego and destructive off field habits and other nonsense he comes with.

Can’t see him fitting into  Stendels way of playing, I can’t see him chasing back when it’s not going his way.Its a no from me.

Very much this. I also think he has had his day, done nothing of note since we sold him

Get rid of  Keena, McLean and Wighton and there's definitely room for him. He's a goalscorer and knows the league and club. Uche, Lafferty, Washington and Boyce would give us the best top 4 in ages.

We really need someone with his quality and character on the pitch.  Off the pitch is the difficult part.  Maybe he's grown up during his time in Norway and has Sevco out of his system now.

Some unbalanced person that a lot of this forum have a crush on gave Uche a massive contract for reasons unbeknown to the majority of our support.

I'm not a big fan but he scores goals and I think he'd be desperate to resurrect his career so would have plenty motivation.

 

There are probably better options available but seems like a very realistic target who can actually score goals.

Doubt we'd get the Lafferty that left, we got the best of him. I also don't know how well he'd do in Stendel's set-up. He's also a twat. 

 

Having said all that, for the next 6 months, no transfer fee, reasonable wage demand with an option to chat again in the summer. I'd take the chance.

Yep. Would happily see all our current Strikers (Uche, MacLean, Wighton and Keena) punted in January. None of them are good enough.

Did well on his first spell with us, but will he be as motivated if a move to Rangers isn't on the cards?

No question that he didn’t look twice when they came in for him before. That said, I fully believe that he now regrets his decision and wished he had stayed with us hence the fact it seems that he is hankering for a move back to us 

 

is he perfect - No. does he get the club, can score goals, has an affiliation with the support and is motivated - Yes

 

Will he fit into DS way of playing - Not sure 🤔 

 

I would take a calculated risk and offer him a deal at least until the end of the season

Surprised at the number of people who wouldn’t want Lafferty back. Probably the most prolific striker we have had in the past decade. And he is available on a free, in a season where we are badly struggling for goals and looking relegation in the face. 

 

To the people that don’t want him. Do you honestly think we are going to sign better than him?

Ship has sailed for me although I can understand folks clinging on to memories.

 

Not going to diss the guy as he scored goals for us. Happy to remember him for some great goals in big games but the show is over

 

Time to move forwards
