ShaneRalfRoss 301 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Big Sam lines up Laff bidBy DEREK McGREGORPublished: TodayAdd a comment Add a comment (0)WEST HAM are preparing a £2million-plus bid for Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty.Hammers boss Sam Allardyce is a long-time admirer of the Northern Ireland ace and has contacted Gers about his availability.Rangers boss Ally McCoist is aware of the Upton Park club's interest but it's thought it would take a serious offer to tempt him to sell.McCoist is desperate to bring in players of his own - including another striker.Lafferty, a £3.25m signing from Burnley in 2008, finished last season in sensational form alongside Nikica Jelavic, with eight goals in the final ten matches to help clinch three in a row.However, a summer hernia operation put paid to his hopes of kicking off this season in similar style.Lafferty, 23. has two years left on his contract and hopes to be back in action for Gers' clash with Motherwell on August 21.Read more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/3741267/Gers-ace-Kyle-is-2m-Hammers-target.html#ixzz1UUDU1GWo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 IMO we should sell. Lafferty is far too inconsistent. We had £2m ready to spend on Goodwillie, we should sell Lafferty and bring another £4m striker to Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

albluenose1990 29 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Beat me to it posting this. No way should we sell at that price, but no doubt we will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelavic9 5 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 They can fuck off. Personally I love the bid man, play's for the badge. Yes he has been stupid, yes he has been inconsistent. But that is largely due to been played out wide. We all saw how deadly he can be through the middle. Would hate to see him go, especially for that money.

We had £2m ready to spend on Goodwillie, we should sell Lafferty and bring another £4m striker to Rangers. This is harsh on the lad, I think he was inconsistent due to age. Every year he is improving, this season will be a big one for him. True blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I can't believe that the majority of people on here wouldn't bite someone's hand off for our money back on Lafferty. No way is Lafferty worth the £3.25m we paid for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been critical of the big man but last season he proved Walters faith in him right and we've been missing his contributions so far this season.

Amac9 2,060 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 What's the point in selling him? We only have Jelavic and Lafferty as actual striking options.Beattie, Healy, Little all won't do much and Naismith is better from the right. Selling him now would be a ridiculous decision especially with the way we go about trying to get players in.And £2m is a shite bid anyway.
