CottonRunt 978 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Does anyone think we would match the £2.8M for him?Should we? Is he really worth that much? Or does anyone think we can get better for almost £3m? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfajerk 23 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Really.There is only something like eighteen months between them in terms of age yet, Lafferty is far more experienced at club levelLafferty has alreday won more in the past three years than Goodwillie will win in his entire careerLafferty has alreday has 28 more caps than Goodwillie does internationallyLafferty is already at the club, and much like Goodwillie, last season was his most productive yet.Lafferty has shown more signs of maturity than Goodwillie has.Add to the fact that he was forming a formidable partnership with Jelavic at the tail end of last season aswella s the idea that if you put Lafferty into the Dundee Utd team tomorrow he would be their best player by a mile then I truly think we aren't any worse off.Sometimes some people just cannot see the woods for the trees I think Lafferty is much better than Goodwillie and he's not got a court case hanging over his head however trivial it is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza 9 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 We will make another bid and it will come down to where Goodwillie prefers to go. He's been our number one target all summer, we aren't going to give up easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,705 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I still think we will make another bid.Could be done and dusted by the time we get a deal together, after all £2M doesnt just appear out of thin air Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCLACHLAN1 49 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Fook me...Are people really saying we are fine with lafferty over Goodwillie? I agree with people who think we need the midfield sorted as a priority Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Pretty fucked off with this.I am dreading this season TBHThe level of players we are going to end up with by the end of the window are going to be sub standard I feel We do not have the squad to sustain a good title defence, we JUST made it over the line last seasonWe will not be able to pull that off this year with this squad and a few shitey signingAnd if jelavic gets injured again........ We are in trouble Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersAvA92 53 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 its actually quite smart what blackburn have done imo.they know who goodwillie wants to play for - rangers, so by putting in a higher than asked for bid, they have taken us out of the running for him.there's no chance we can match 2.8m, so goodwillie will know there is no way hes going to rangers now - this is why he'll sign for blackburn.good work by blackburn, they outsmarted us, will we learn?Suppose but we'd probably never offer £2m anyway, Blackpool won't offer that much either so if Blackburn had offered the 2 mill then they'd be first to talk to him...there's no way he's going to reject the kind of money they throw around down there.

Nicolas Cage 31 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 We will make another bid and it will come down to where Goodwillie prefers to go. He's been our number one target all summer, we aren't going to give up easily.I'm not sure. We've only made 1 bid for him and it was a bid which was always destined to be rejected, ie. less than £2M.

AW-WATP 112 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I would rather this was over! Goodwillies is NOT an amazing player, he's good but this thread is pushing on 300 pages and it's been for nothing.I would like to see us get him but I'd rather we move on to other targets! Goodwillie will rot in the EPL probably! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Pretty disgusted with the way we have went about this transfer. Fucked about like goodie certainly wasnt our top target and now pretty much lost out on him. Craig and Ally better have a fucking ace up their sleeve and bring in a good striker because i and im pretty sure most other wont settle for bringing in over the hill dross to make up for losing out on scotlands most promising young player.Poor show.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,792 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I agree with you that Lafferty was excellent at the end of last season.However, we have seen him do well at the tail end of the season before and come back and be awful. I would still say that we need another striker in ASAP, Lafferty is injured, and we look really short of numbers up front.Hopefully we will get someone young with a bit of potential, hate it when we sign 30 something has beens who turn out shit!Oh yeah mate, we defiently need another striker. Lafferty and Jelavic are good enough, but if anything happens to either of them we are struggling (as we have already seen)I just think it's amusing how everybody thinks Goodwillie would have come here and steamrollered Lafferty out of the first team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCLACHLAN1 49 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Lafferty has be enlarge been awful for 3 years in the real world....However if Coisty doesnt sort out the 2 planks we currently have Centre mid it won't matter who we have up front.
