Kyle Lafferty

[Tired&Emotional]

No source, no rumour that I've heard, nothing.

Sky Sports Transfer Centre says 'various clubs' clubs are looking at him. Could he be someone we're looking at?

 

[Dewsburywolf]

No thanks

 

[The Professional]

No.

 

[fielden05]

My Rangers supporting mate at work hates him!

 

[BlahBlah]

No thanks, another one that chose Scotland to further his career.

Kyle Lafferty fears for his future at Rangers
26 August ~ "When Rangers pipped Celtic to sign Kyle Lafferty from Burnley in the summer of 2008, few could have expected the impact he would have on Scottish football. Lafferty’s reputation as a controversial figure has only been enhanced by his sending-off against Hibernian last Sunday. The incident, a dangerous tackle on Liam Miller and the subsequent brawl with Hibs' Kevin McBride, is the latest in an incident-prone Rangers career.

The gangly striker has been ridiculed for his haircuts (last season it was a Chris Waddle-inspired mullet, this season a skunk-like ginger stripe) and a robotic goal celebration that is similar but less charming than the one made famous by Peter Crouch. Lafferty is known for being an enthusiastic participant in Glasgow’s nightlife, something which isn’t recommended for an Old Firm footballer, regardless of their popularity.

These antics would be almost forgiven if he contributed positively to Rangers, yet his spell at Ibrox has been dogged by controversy. Towards the end of the 2008-09 season, in a vital match against Aberdeen, Lafferty had a spat with Dons defender Charlie Mulgrew (now with Celtic) and fell to the ground holding his face, suggesting that he had been headbutted. Mulgrew was sent off, yet television pictures showed that Lafferty had indeed dived, thus earning him a two-match ban. A year later in an Old Firm derby Celtic captain Scott Brown was sent off after a tussle with Lafferty.

Rangers went on to win each of these matches so it could be said that Lafferty has almost become an asset for the wrong reasons, through his ability to distract opponents. His scoring record isn’t great, just 13 goals in two seasons, although this may be because Walter Smith has opted to play him in a left-midfield position. He occasionally shows glimpses of why Rangers spent £4 million on him, such as his strike against Hibernian last season that clinched the league title. Too often, however, his temper and his attitude have overshadowed the ability that made him the centre of a tug-of-war between Celtic and Rangers.

As it stands, many Rangers fans struggle to see how he could have carried such a hefty price tag at a time where the club don’t have much money to spend. Reports in the Scottish press this week suggest that Lafferty is worrying about his future at Ibrox – you'd have to think that much of this pressure is self-induced." David Childs

There was serious talk of him coming here a few years back, probably luckily he chose to head further north.

Don't think his attitude would encourage Mick to make a move

 

[Adrian_Monk]

I think David Childs has the last word here.

 

[goldeneyed]

He is more effective as a centre forward imv and would score a lot more in that position. He doesn't sound like an MM player character-wise but if he came cheap would be worth the risk imv. But it seems we are going to be landed with Mr Bent.

Rumour has it that Blackpool are wanting to talk to Lafferty.

Mick might like the challenge

 

[stever]

awful player in my book, even he looks good in the scottish mickey mouse league

 

[Dewolf]

He wouldn't be that bad a signing! Be surprised if we're not considering it.

 

[EasternWolf]

Its just too simple to criticise players, these guys are all professionals and can player decently in a different team.

Too many people here just jump on the band wagon and criticise when they haven't got a clue about someone.

Grow, some balls and think for yourselves

 

[Berlin Wolf]

Rumour has it that Blackpool are wanting to talk to Lafferty.

Has he damaged their tower?

 

[TommyWilms]

Mick might like the challenge

Or he might just not bother

 

[ashfordwolf]

Or he might just not bother

Mick is not one to shy away from a challenge

 

[TommyWilms]

Mick is not one to shy away from a challenge

He didn't when he was playing.

 

[Sheriff Woody]

I would rather lick a cats anus than watch him play for my team. Awful, awful player................................................... could do a job for Albion though.

 

[ashfordwolf]

He didn't when he was playing.

Are you suggesting he does now?

 

[TommyWilms]

Are you suggesting he does now?

yes

Shocking
