Chef 436 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Around the time when Lafferty first came he scored at Tannadice and it looked like the goal of a natural finisher- he placed the ball between the goalie and the post, almost rolling it in. But over a period of nearly 3 seasons , as someone earlier reiterated, he has not been consistent. I would love to hear what Walter would have done in hindsight as regards him- I am not convinced he would be here.he should have got someone more able imo, someone more clinical, but i tell ya he is determined to be a success at rangers and heres hoping he does it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslinger 270 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 It's about replacing Miller, making our team better, not signing someone because they support Rangers and play for Northern Ireland. If that's the case then we should go out and sign Warren Feeny, or any old piece of piss.It's like some couldn't give a shit, but that's ok because the man is one of us and will wind-up the tims.loads of people will be dilighted to get rid of miller and sign healy. quite a few on here i suspect will have the champers out.

gunslinger 270 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Compare what he did to say the sort of 'impact' Novo made time and again. For 3.75 million he has given very little at times. Yes , scored some important goals, but we should have expected more from him by now. When Jelavic came on the other night there was a ball of the line, he might have got a penalty, he could have scored again-Lafferty is not someone I see doing thatyes indeed but to suggest there was no difference when he came on against celtc is unfair. that said the incompetance of the team before he came on was so bad i doubt it would have been possible for him not to improve things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,707 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Regardless of how good he is, it appears that Lafferty will soon find himself in the team through default and not merit and I think that will affect Lafferty the most Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,841 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 i find is so funny how things have changed, when Miller first came alot of people, on here aswell, said they wouldnt go back to ibrox aslong as he played for us, alot of fans thought he was going to flop and never backed him. How things have changed from that, the funny thing IMO But is someone like Lafferty, who has done a few things wrong so far for us, but always gives 100% and may not be the best gifted player but works hard for the team he loves, never seems to have the fans behind him. People dont even back him even though he is a playing in that blue jersey.Miller won the majority of fans over because of his contribution on the park. On the other hand, Lafferty hasn't contributed anything close to what Miller has over the same period of time.Giving your all is the absolute minimum that is expected of a player. It's real quality and making a difference when the chips are down that will set you apart and help you win over the fans.That's the key difference between Miller and Lafferty.

I hope he does succeed and that people get of his back as I feel some of the criticism towards him is purely because it's Lafferty. I wonder what people would say about Jelavic if he doesn't score after five games!As for Healy, he never has been and never will be good enough to play for us, we have better options who could be utilised, such as Fleck or Naismith playing up top. Yes, we do need more players but they have to be the right players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckbear089 4 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think we should restrict our signing policy to Rangers supporting players from Norther Ireland. With the right coaching and training We would have a world class team within five seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Amac comes across as a genuine poster but respect levels will drop if this turns out to be pishAs for Healy, I'd take him on loan until the end of the season, let him try and prove himself to us, if he's no use then get rid. I'd still prefer us to buy a Striker long-term though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a theory about healy perhaps he is only good for NI because its his country he loves playing for them and playing alongside lafferty and davis hmmmmmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie2909 21 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 If we didnt already have a 30 something striker that dosent score on our books i would maybe think it would be a reasonable move but we dont need another one so for that fact i would have to say NO THANKS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
