Doctor Sanchez Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 It would be interesting to know Goodwin's real thoughts on Lafferty and if he'd want him in the Squad. We've all seen JG as a leader and a captain on the field. Assuming he's not changed too much as a manager, i think he'd be able to handle the difficult side of Lafferty. If he wanted him... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Thing with Lafferty is he seems hard work, and also seems to chuck it if he's not starting every single game. Is it worth bringing him in on a hefty wage if he's going to take huge amounts of individual attention + carries a risk of walking away halfway through the season? It was all or nothing for Killie, but feel like St Mirren could be smarter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 What we - and many clubs like us - are looking for this summer is a proven goal scorer at this level. They’re hard to find.Lafferty is a proven goal scorer at this level and presumably within our budget. Therefore, we should offer him a one year deal. I don’t expect he will sign it incidentally, I think he will get bigger offers elsewhere, but there is no harm in asking. Goody has already said he looked at him before he signed for Killie so I assume he will still be interested now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked totally uninterested first half of last nights game. That’s not the type of character Goodwin likes. I would expect Hearts to be back in for him and a few other clubs with bigger budgets tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Alan Power is from the the free state. He must be up there in Goodwin’s list of consideration. Absolutely done imo.ETA and still under contract and announced as retained (one of only 5 left at Killie) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I see Chris Maguire has been released by Sunderland. Only 32, wonder if we might see him come north this summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do sign him I can see him being absolutely shite, doing f**k all and fans hating him before he gets paid off and becomes the latest OF reject slagging us off in the Daily Record on a bi-monthly basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope no... Nah, Peter Grant signified a shift in Alloa's recruitment policy. To stop us pinching their managera they now only recruit duds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC17 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Got to laugh at everyone willing to turn down Lafferty, a guy who scored more goals in half a season for a struggling team than Erwin has scored in any season in his career.What "baggage" does he bring that would be so detrimental to the club, may I ask?Notably he fronted up the Killie fans last night and apologised to them for getting relegated. Seems like a decent thing to do for someone who would apparently ruin the atmosphere of our dressing room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right so your argument is that we should take Lafferty because.. 1) He has scored more goals than Erwin. 2) You have not paid attention to the scandals and cheating. 3) While paid a good sum to do a job, he said he was sorry for doing a bad job. Those are hardly ringing endorsements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a goal a game striker for Killie, if he could do the same for us I wouldn't mind if he put Boris Johnson over his knees and poured lumpy custard down his arse.

To be fair I’d guess Boris and his mistress have already indulged themselves in this type of shenanigans, I’m not sure about Kyle Lafferty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Look at the cup semi final against StJ, does Lafferty miss that Erwin chance? I think he scores that.He could be the difference between success and failure next season (whatever that entails).Don't get me wrong he is the definition of your average Rangers fan, so so angry and the p***ks p***k so it would be hard to support him in the stripes. If he isn't playing for us he'll be playing against us though, unless he goes down South. Unlike Stokes, Lafferty still has something to offer at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always a fan of there being a pantomime villain knocking about the league as well, so there is that. As you say, though, I think we can all see how this is going to pan out. We make a public attempt to sign him, and Jim says he's confident in the press. Instead he opts for Tynecastle. Fans back in the ground, at home to Hearts on the opening day, Lafferty gets dogs abuse for 90 minutes before scoring a stoppage time winner and celebrates in front of W7. Classic St Mirren, that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
