pete 2,499 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 That could be applied to the signing of Garner. Yes your correct but Garner has been here 6 weeks Lafferty had seasons. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,320 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Well, we signed him at the age of 21 and did not exactly use him as the main / central striker that he was. Rangers managers had a nick for that. By now he is 29 and I can only speak for the games that I saw him, i.e. Euro 2016 and the last couple of WC qualifying games, where he was played as a central striker. He applied himself admirably, was a pest for defenders of the highest quality and always there or thereabouts with the goals. He is rarely used by Norwich this season, who play the likes of Alex Pritchard, Steven Naismith and Cameron Jerome ahead of him. It seems not everyone likes a gangly, 1.93m striker. IF MW decides that he could be an option for half a season, I would not cry foul but want to see how he gets on now ... in this environment and with these players about him.

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Lafferty was great in the run in more than once scoring the goals to win us the title. But overall he was disappointing and a waste of vast amounts of cash. Unless he was really cheep then no thanks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Lafferty was great in the run in just before his contract ended. For the rest of the next season until that point arrived,the next year he was shyte. I get your point gs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I don't think he signed new contracts 3 years running in fairness 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,511 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Lafferty's problem isn't his ability it's his attitude. He didn't make it at Rangers becasue of that and he's failing at Norwich for the same reason. He has skill, he's strong and fast as well, but he's got broken bottles for brains and it's difficult to do anything about that now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotjo 19 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Hardly, as far as I can tell he has started 3 matches none of which were consecutive if memory serves and scored in one of them. The jury will be out on Garner till he gets a run of games which hasn't happened so far. If we had judged say Kranjcar after so little pitch time then Kranjcar is a failure. Exactly, the jury is still out, but I haven't seen any positives that would make me think oh yes, he'll come good, it is too early but my point is do you think Lafferty wouldn't have done any better in these 6 weeks, Honestly? As for Kranjcar, different kettle of fish, he had fitness issues and most knew he would come good as he is a class player and he is starting to show it.

He has been a twat but I think he is improving on that apparently and although not a goalscorer as such I just have a hunch he would be a help in an area where we are struggling.
