Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 West Ham seem obsessed with giant strikers who don't score many goalsCole, Carew, Piquionne, Lafferty Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,547 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 People that want Lafferty sold when our squad is as thin as it is just now have very small brains.why not if the money can go towards another 2 playersnot to mention the silly wages we'll have been paying lafferty Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Lafferty will be on somewhere between 8 and 12 grand a week, he certainly isn't one of our highest earners Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 why not if the money can go towards another 2 playersnot to mention the silly wages we'll have been paying laffertyBased purely on our dealings so far, we're really in no position to let any half-decent squad members go.

the brown brogue 1,909 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Judging by our efforts in the transfer market this summer I'm amazed that anyone would be happy about us having to spend time and resources replacing yet another player.

Tommy WATP 86 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Isnt it odd that the fans willing to sell Lafferty are also the same set screaming we need players in as we have no depth in our squad.Also why would you want to sell a striker who has came off the back of his best goalscoring season at the club and has shown much more improved performances.It honesty kills me to say it but we have some right arseholes in our support with no clue what they are talking about and just moan and grump about buying players!

TMB 14,167 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 £3m+ and we had another striker lined up i would possibly sellJamie Murphy could be bought for £1m believe. Weren't Rangers also interested in a striker called Trickovski (who could also be bought for around £1m). Or even Jelavic's old strike partner. Lafferty has had three seasons now and I can't help but think we should cut our loses and give someone else a chance.Also, Lafferty's hat-trick against Dunfermline was no great shakes. Dunfermline are a first division side and we won 7-2 that night against a very poor side. The highlight that night was Jelavic's overhead kick:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9eiyEsKQw4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolas Cage 31 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 We shouldn't sell Lafferty in my opinion. I'd have serious doubts that we'd be able to get a replacement who's better than him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
footygeek301 20 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Lafferty is the best striker we have aside jelavic, so he must stay unless we can sign someone else. Healy, Beattie etc have made no impact, and whilst at one point in their careers they might have been an asset to us, they are no more than jersey fillers at the moment.I am not Lafferty's biggest fan, but he does have talent, whenever I see him play for NI he is always brilliant. He finished last season very well, and he can play on the left if need be. He is tall, pacy and gets stuck in. Yes he does miss chances, and his scoring record could be better, but unless we have someone better lined up he stays.Incidentally I think the only reason Ally has kept Healy and Beattie is that he hopes he can coax them back into form.Kerkar is the one that puzzles me. What is the point? Loan the boy away and hope someone is daft enough to buy him in a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 To the people who say they'd happily sell him; do you honestly trust our regime to sign a better replacement? Or any replacement at all?I believe we'll sign a striker during this window yes. I think we'll sign a striker no matter what happens with Lafferty. I also think that striker will have a good chance of partnering Jelavic and leaving Lafferty on the sidelines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

footygeek301 20 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Only reason Big Sam is after him is because the same player down south would cost him triple or quadruple. Raiding the SPL is the cheap option, especially given the now lengthy track record of players going down there and doing very well.Plus Big Sam loves the long ball, physical approach, and after watching the Hammers at the weekend they are way too flaky. Anyone who thinks they are favourites for promotion are talking absolute moronic shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
