Kyle Lafferty

[Hibee87]

I know his name was brought up, pretty sure it was just names being thrown about as I dont recall hibs ever being properly linked with him.
Either way, looks like our chums over the road are looking to make him their highest player.

[Thecat23]

PLEEEEEEASE let that mob sign him. He's actually brutal.

[Andy74]

He's not. He'd be a top player in this league.

People go on about Boyce. He's got about 3 years to make up to the 20 international goals Lafferty has.

I cannae stand Lafferty, but I'd rather he didn't sign for them. He'd be a good signing for any SPL side other than Celtc.

[Steve20]

Lafferty would be a decent signing. Certainly better than the strikers we've been linked with.

Time we were bringing in a forward as we still need about three

[Sean1875]

5 goals in the last 3 seasons. Good luck to them.

[Aldo]

I be happy for us to sign Lafferty! I do however suspect the yams to be interested given the current NI links at them with McPhee. I really cannot see them making many quality signings given the shortfall of the mega stand!

We shall however see!

Possibly even highest ever player. Robbo would be the lowest, Nade the widest. Chris Shevlane the gingerest?

[Forza Fred]

The availability of strikers appears limited.

We are never going to get universal agreement on whom we should sign on our budget.

I'd take him.......I'm flat out trying to think of who we CAN get.

[Super_JMcGinn]

Anyone that scores 20 goals for NI can't be described as brutal. I remember him at Rangers and he always put himself about and was a handful, here's hoping he's not the same player.

[California-Hibs]

Have to disagree. The guys a complete prick, definitely goes without saying, but he showed at Rangers that he can score goals. Yes it was a while ago, but I still feel he'd have more than enough for this league and would also give their dressing room the kick up the arse, arrogant nature that I hope we don't see for a long time yet!

[Pretty Boy]

Lafferty would be a good signing for almost any Premiership team, pretending otherwise is daft.

I'd rather they didn't sign him.

Even when he was younger at Rangers(RIP)....He was rubbish.

I know he was at Sion for abit. But where else?

Agreed, he was p1sh at the old rangers although I haven't seen much of him since. Soccerbase shows he's scored 7 goals in club football in the last 3 seasons.

He'll hopefully get one of their famous 3 year contracts on good money.

[Gordy M]

If we were linked with a striker who had scored 7 goals in 3 seasons.....this place would explode, but now the yams are after him it would be a good signing...really!!!??

I'd take him here in a second.

I don't really care about the recent record. It's what he would do playing in this league that matters. Scored about 1 in 3 for Rangers even though he was more of the target man. He's also NIs second top scorer ever.

[Thecat23]

Have to say I'm shocked so many rate him. I just think he's crap. 5 goals in 3 years someone has posted! If true I'm sorry I hope he goes to them.

Opinions I suppose!

[The_Horde]

The next next Connor Sammon (beside the other new guy) they're welcome to him!

[lucky]

He will be a decent signing for them. They seem to like experienced players and the players they are signing should make them competitive in the top 6

I can't stand the guy. I couldn't care less if hearts sign him, as long as we don't. His club form for some reason has never been anywhere near as good as his international form.

[Since90+2]

He is a decent player but his goalscoring record over the last few years is abysmal and he will be wanting mega money relative to what Hear7s normally pay.

[frazeHFC]

He'd be the perfect fit for them. Ambrose would have him in his back pocket in derbies.

If we sign him then great, wonder signing of an international star & a big GIRFUY to the Yams. If they sign him it just reinforces my loathing of KL as a useless, rabid piece of ****** who's obviously been signed to replace Tom Daley Walker as diver in chief! I like to think I'm pretty fair in my assessments of our supposed targets! :wink:

[Deansy]

No way would I want to see Lafferty in a Hibs-jersey - quite simply, he represents everything that is bad/rotten about the game.

[percy veer]

tbf he did single handidly get northern Ireland to the last euros

[Big_Franck]

Let's be honest here, he wasn't hardly pish at Rangers. 31 goals, with a ratio of almost 1:3.

He scored at a ratio of about 3 goals in every 10 games for an old Rangers side that spent serious money by Scottish terms and dominated most games. He was gash for Rangers and is hopefully still gash now.

[vuefrom1875]

Perfect fit for the Tramps.

[mentalhibee]

I'd take him at hibs, decent player especially at spl level.

[neil7908]

Haven't seen him play club football in ages but if he can recreate his international form he'll be a tremendous signing for anyone in Scotland outwith Celtic

[hibbysam]

tbf he did single handidly get northern Ireland to the last euros

Exactly what I was just about to post. Say what you want about him, and I've not followed him to understand his lack of goals at club level recently, but watching him for NI and saying 'he's ****' is strange, the guy was on a one man mission to get them to the finals and seemed to score nearly every game for them.

[bingo70]

It'd really piss the hearts fans off if we sign him from under their nose so for that reason I'm in.......

I wouldn't worry about him signing for hearts as Cathro will drain the life out of that changing room, regardless of who they've got in their team.

[California-Hibs]

As others are pointing out. He's far from gash. His exploits for Northern Ireland have been very impressive too. Wouldn't want him playing against us.

[EH54]

He will be a decent signing whoever he goes to in Scotland. Can't stand him but I'm sure if we signed him that would change. It did with Lennon. Looking like he will go to Hearts and he will improve them and be a decent signing.

[makaveli1875]

He's way better than any strikers we have on our books . On another level to be honest . Id be happy if we signed him and hope to **** he doesnt end up at the **** bags

Horrible cheating diving rotten Hun bar steward, a perfect match for them

[Allant1981]

for a striker his goals tally is pretty poor, decent footballer though

[Heisenberg]

Kenny Millar has tweeted saying he was told "no" when he asked if there anything in the Hibs chat.

[HibbyAndy]

Well suited to Hearts , He's a cheating diving sneakily little elbow throwing ****!!!! That incident with Charlie Mulgrew when Mulgrew never touched him and Kyle Laugh at me threw himself to the ground confirmed it for me what a complete welt he is

[Big_Franck]

His record with Northern Ireland is very good there is no denying that, but then so were David Healy's and Michael Misfud's international records.

Lafferty's scoring record over the last 3 years at club level has been abysmal though, there is no denying that either.

[calumhibee1]

I don't want him at Hibs because he's a dick and I don't think he's particularly good, however I think he'd be one of Hearts better forwards in the past ten years (not hard mind) so I hope they don't sign him either.

[Velma Dinkley]

Kyle Laugh at me. He's done well at international level, which is not where Hibs compete. He's not been good at club level, even at a Rangers spending far, far outwith its means. He wanted to sign for The Rangers. Looks unlikely now.

[Treadstone]

He's a player on the downgrade. He wasn't scoring goals at club level because he was too good. Hope he goes to Hearts as I doubt he'd represent value for money.

[Pete70]

If we're serious about getting a striker to score goals, do we really want someone who has only scored 7 in the past 3 seasons?
Regardless of who he is or his international record, that form isn't good enough for this league.

Depends what league that was in relative to ours and how many games they played. How they did at this level before is also relevant.

If they were one of their countries top scorers of all time and still looking impressive in international football that would be of interest too.

I'm not sure Stokes' record is much better. I'm sure a few would take him too.

We both know he isn't a striker, the point about previous form is relevant though.

1 in 3 in a team where the other strikers were far more prolific than him. Kris Boyd out scored him as did kenny miller. Anyone looking back at his time at Rangers and claiming it to be successful are deluding themselves. For some unknown reason he has managed to score goals at international level, but he has never emulated that form at club level.

I'd expect those two to outscore him too.

As more of a target man he must have being doing something right to score about 30 in 100 games or so and help two other strikers to score more than that as well.

He will know Caveman MacPhee from the Northern Ireland setup so wont be surprised if he ends up at Hear7s.

Decent player but I have a feeling he might be the type of guy that once he's earned his coin (and he must have earned a few quid over the last decade) he wont be anywhere near the player he was when he was first breaking through in the game. If you compare his performances for Northern Ireland to his club form over the last few years it would certainly point towards that.

He will get my support if he signs but I do not have to like him.

And that's about it. No evidence of any bigotry etc. It's just the fact he played for Rangers that is winding so many up.

He does seem like a bit of a bellend. Not that I mind us signing bellends if they do a job for us.

I'm fairly certain he'll choose the Yams anyway so I don't think it matters.

You may be right. Lewis Stevenson is very particular about adherence to parking etiquette. There could be scenes.

[SunshineOnLeith]

Really hoping the talk of Hibs being interested is just his agent trying to squeeze a few more quid out of Hearts. Quite apart from anything else, he's a forward who seems to average about one goal a year in club football for the last few seasons.

We've just sold the guy who scores all of our goals - we need a goalscorer, not a bang average awkward lanky forward. We've still got Brian Graham to fill that role.

Did Lafferty block your mum in? I'm genuinely confused

[Stevie Reid]

My memory of him was that he didn't score many for Rangers, but had a habit of scoring important goals in big games - just checked Soccerbase and indeed he scored six goals in the final four matches of the season in 2010/11, which culminated in Rangers winning the league on the last day.

Definitely seems to be a big game player, and could see him being effective in derbies. If it came down to it, I'd rather he signed for us than them - especially if it's a straight choice - but he's a risk if being paid a very big wage, which I presume is the case.

He undoubtedly has quality though, and at 29 is a good age and has good experience. Could see him being effective for them in a similar way to Kevin Kyle.

He won the league for them at ER in 2010 with the only goal. The East was being built at the time and we were decanted to the South Stand with the hun, who had also bought most of the main stand hospitality. Pandemonium in the west when Lafferty scored. He brushed Chris Hogg off as if he wasn't there for his goal. A pathetic attempt by Hogg.

[GreenArmyyy!]

One of the old Rangers players I really detested with a passion. Rather not but I know he'd probably come back to haunt us so for that reason I'd take him if it stopped him going to Hearts.

Those first 2 paragraphs are pretty much exactly what my mate said about him who's a Rangers fan - he tended to do absolutely buggar all for the majority of the year but whenever it came close to transfer windows/end of season he would suddenly be busting a gut and scoring a few goals

[QUOTE=Stevie Reid;5081343]My memory of him was that he didn't score many for Rangers, but had a habit of scoring important goals in big games

He was fairly poor for NI for years until Michael got the hold of him and sorted him out. I think he would relish playing against Sevco, Celtic and the jambos but overall his club form has been dire for a long time.

I'd only take Lafferty if it was guaranteed that we would be signing someone else to be our main striker.

I'd be pretty worried if we went into next season with Murray,Lafferty, Graham, Boyle and Shaw as our striker options.

Murray is Keatings replacement
Lafferty would be upgrade on a aging Holt
We would still need a 'goalscorer' to replace JC.

Never been prolific in front of goal. Hardly played club football over past 4 seasons. Huge risk for a big wage. Remarkable international record though.

“Lafferty is sold as a result of a precise request from my Coach Beppe Iachini,” President Zamparini told Radio 24.

“He is an out-of-control womaniser, an Irishman without rules. He is someone who disappears for a week and goes on the hunt for women in Milan.

Would rather have Adam Rooney than him as Rooney will score more.

I think we can do better and get someone more prolific as our main striker.

If Hibs and Hearts are both interested in signing Lafftery, Hearts will have to offer considerably more in wages to attract him. That club is a shambles from top to bottom so piles of cash milked from the fans would be the only lure. Or they could sign him as a trialist and not pay him anything.

Why would it be made up? Do you think every player that a club enquiries about or approaches, they get? You're lucky if a club will sign 10% of the players they have shortlisted (probably less)
For what it's worth, pretty sure all the names you mention weren't linked by Kenny. He wrote about Whittaker which still looks like it could happen but the rest I don't think was him. With Lafferty, he's advised that hibs have shown an interest, and that seems to be correct as a member of this forum bumped into Lennon at the weekend who told him that he was keen on Lafferty. Can't get a better source than that.
Kenny has got a decent reputation amongst hibs fans as he tends to have a good track record when it comes to hibs signings.

I think he'd be a good signing for any SPL team out with Celtic. Really not a fan personality wise but let's be honest plenty of folk have played for Hibs that aren't paragons of virtue.

My only real memory of Sammon was him giving Hanlon a beasting at ER during the Claderwood era. He made an iimpression that day. He has been gash since he came back to Scotland though. To be fair to Lafferty, he has a better pedigree, albeit his lack of club goals would concern me if he signed for us.

Lafferty could fill a number of our currently vacant roles -

Striker who doesn't get goals.
International playboy.
Scapegoat.
Reformed Hun.
Cheat, but he's our cheat.

It would be extra nice if he could fill the vacancy for -

Hammer of the Hearts, the one they let slip through their fingers.
20 goal a season striker.

There's a few posts on facebook saying talks have broken down with the gimps over money?

I'd heard he was only at Tynecastle to get a refund on the owl he bought 😉

How much were they asking him for?

[LancsHibs]

Would love to sign him just to get the gunts spewing😈

[WoreTheGreen]

Ha ha! 😂😂

Hope he's got a van to take home his signing on fee a second hand bath

Call me old fashioned but this "Last gasp" approach for KL doesn't line up with my hope that we had a plan to replace Cummings before he left

If that's the case then there's no chance they will get Allan Macgregor either

We should see if we can get the guy to sell us the owl. His missus is bound to have found out how carried away he got.

I'd rather gazump them on that than lafferty. Wondering where our quality striking targets are. Our budgets as good as it's been for a while.

Don't like him as a person but he is a good footballer. Part of me wants to sign him just to annoy them hahq

Kickback on why Lafferty would never pick Hibs over Hearts.

I'll paraphrase firstly - wee team.... Less money due to insufficient owls and baths for sale..... "They had a fractionally larger stadium, but that's about to be rectified."

I see Lafferty more as a replacement for Holt and he is a significant upgrade at that. If he signs. If he signs for them then he is mince.

Well suited to Hearts. They do like signing horrible huddy type players for some reason.

He'll be crap for them and I'm relieved he's not coming to us.

Reminds me of the time they took a dirty bedsheet and scrawled black marker over it for a big team/wee team banner for a Tynecastle derby. All sorts of memorable Hearts achievements compared to inferior pishy Hibs ones. Such as 'League Titles - 4v4'.

Probably could've left it off, in hindsight.

It's what big teams do apparrently!

Just said same to my mates. That late ditch effort is quite worrying.
