He said at the time he did not want to leave but when the club accepted the money he knew it was time to go, I think it was in a Simon ferry interview, or I've read it somewhere. He also wanted to be our no1 striker as the interview stated. The board obviously wanted the money as well allowing him to speak to Wigan.

Smile 26,600 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 This is the thread for me well done mate. Gerrard seems intent on keeping Arfield but will be a board decision as money talks, he will stay loyal to Defoe and jake Hastie will be an integral part of the team if he impresses in pre-season.

In what way did he do better than you thought possible of him? He regularly did nothing in most games and then every now and again would perform for a couple of weeks allowing some in the support to think he was a world beater and now he's at Wigan and nobody ever hears from him Courtyard Bear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your point, they're not amazing stats for a forward player, especially in Scotland. Also he did leave himself, not sure where you've gotten your information from. He got a phone call about Wigan, told us about it and then when he wasn't promised the number 9 spot he decided to leave. “It wasn’t an easy decision to make, to be honest, because I’ve been playing a lot at Rangers. “But I spoke to the manager when I got the call and I felt the best thing was to come here to try and prove myself and get this team up the league.” He added: “I’ve played against the manager’s teams a few times when I was at Accrington. “I know a couple of the backroom staff here, so it was a no-brainer for me. “I know a couple of the lads too, having played against them so it’s a good squad. I am looking forward to it.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mate. But the 1/2 hearted attitude of Windass (&his dad) was never going to fit in with Ibrox and SG. mus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see why he thought well of himself he scored a lot more goals than anyone thought he would even scored against the filth. Hence we have Lafferty due to one goal against the scum.
