Lafferty v Stokes

[Ianhibee]

Missing out on Lafferty and ultimately getting Stokes reminds me of the late eighties when we tried to get Ian Andrews (I think) as a goalie but he went to Celtic and was a car crash. We ended up with Andy Goram - best goalie we have ever had -
this twist of fate looking like having a similar outcome...

Lennon did him a favour by saying he wanted to sign him
Resulted in Hears locking him in for three days and he presumably ended up with a better deal from Hearts
We have ended up with Real Quality

Controversial but I think Lafferty is going to net 15+ for them and stokes maybe 10...right or wrong we will still finish higher due to our squad being awesome!

[MWHIBBIES]

I think we were always in for Stokes. Signing Lafferty as well might've been really good but until we've seen big Dave properly it is hard to tell. If Dave is a player then we're in great shape up front.

No chance Stokes will score just 10

I tend to agree. Everything Hertz do will go through the snaggle toothed inbred banjo plucker. Our goals will be spread around this season with Boyle Stokes and Murray contributing fairly equally. If they all stay fit and healthy this season it could be a truly Amadou-esque conclusion.

Lafferty will score goals in this league, Stokes is a much better signing tho but he needs to get fit and get games

[Thecat23]

Stokes will and Murray will get 15+ Lafferty will get around 12. He is ****ing AWFUL. I honestly can't see why folk think he'll score goals. Lennon maybe wanted him for a chat but I don't think he would have signed him if I'm honest.

[Andy74]

If we got Lafferty it probably would have been instead of big Dave.

Heard the big hearts huddy was on £13.5 grand a week! Crazy!

Stokes will get 15+
Murray will get 20+
Boyle will get at least 10
The rest will get 15-25 between them

Surely not, only Celtc and The Rangers pay that kind of money.

Someone is tugging your chain 😂 £5k apparently.

He'll be on a similar wage structure as Stokes. Which is already crazy.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Stokes is well behind Lafferty in match fitness but will still score more come end of the season. He is just a superior player.

[neil7908]

I'm delighted with our strike force, maybe one player short, especially if Graham goes.

However, I actually think Lafferty will score goals in this league. Under a manager like Lennon I think he would have thrived and been a better player though.

I'd take Stokes every day of the week but I said at the time when he was linked with us that he'd be a good signing for any SPL team out with Celtic and I stand by that.

Didn't look too clever against Celtic. Seemed more interested in looking for a fight than trying to play football. His antics when he was subbed off also showed him up for the complete walloper that he is. How many goals he scores will probably depend on how many red cards he's able to avoid.

Think was if all the bonuses were added up but assumed a few things

Win league cup
Win Scottish cup
Celtc'esq unbeaten run etc


Not sure but I think they might be coming up a bit short in some of those areas!

I hope you don't mind but I'm stealing that

Laf at ye will be sent of at least twice this season.

Typical 'Laff-At-Me' behaviour - trying to cause trouble but hiding it away from anyone in authority ........................... a bit like when you were at school and you were misbehaving behind teacher's back -

Cowardly Laff-at-me.jpg

"Hee-hee-hee - take that ye Celtic xxxxxx I'm so ****** brave and fly, eh - and teacher never saw me either so yah-boo - sucks to be you - giving ye's the finger more than makes up for whoever-the-****** I'm playing for these days, being rogered 4-1 by ye's !!"

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

He is a Potter-Player rather than Cathro style hence one in and one out.

[yonder1875]

A player can get away with running his mouth in the media and taunting opposing fans if he is any good, however their fans will get sick of him soon enough for not being very good.

THIS will be the only competition between Stokes and 'Laff-At-Me' this season - who will get the most bookings/red-cards ?. 'Laff-At-Me's at a complete disadvantage here as he no longer plays for the Hun so therefore will now be clearly visible to the officials - plus they'll all remember the appalling con-job he pulled on 'one of their own' when he infamously got Mulgrew sent-off at Pittodrie !

[lord bunberry]

The best way to compare the two is that Stokes is a top drawer striker and lafferty is a ****ing donkey

Agree & I think Hibs have struck gold with Murray, he is going to supprise a lot of people this season.

As for Lafferty, I think he'll do well at Hearts (15-20), but I don't think he'd have been a success with us.

It wouldn't surprise me if he gets more than Stokes, because it looks like Stokes will play a bit deeper when he's on with Murray.

Can you imagine if we'd gone for Stokes, failed, and ended up with lafferty. We'd be distraught. Says everything really.

[007]

Lafferty, Goncalves & Stockton v Stokes, Murray & Matulevicius - I wouldn't swap any one of their three for any of ours and I've only seen 15 minutes of Big Davie.
