5cotland 71 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 we have nt signed him bt we have offered £3.5m + Alan Gow and Owen Coyle is really close to accepting it. btw King Carlos apparently could be pushed out by Walter if he accepts Newcastles (get this) £5 MILLION bid. F*CKIN £5 MILLION !! If he does he shud be sent to a psychiatric ward cz thats the act of a psycho.

svens84 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Can understand the criticism but I actually think Lafferty will do well for you, and the price tag isn't as unrealistic as you're making out. We've turned down plenty of bids from Fulham, Wolves, Celtic and yourselves because we desperately wanted to keep him at the club, each time said club has come back with higher offers, the guy definitely has ability, and it hasn't gone unnoticed. We're actually very disappointed in how he has got this move, but at the same time want the best deal we can get, by no doubt playing all three bids off each other. Lafferty hasn't been a regular goalscorer for us, and that's mainly down to how he's been deployed firstly by Steve Cotterill where he made cameo appearances from the bench, and later was played wide on the left, our then manager said was to get him involved more in games but not allow him to be kicked around by centre halves. He is very good with the ball at his feet, when played as a striker does have a great eye for goal, reasonably strong, has a good turn of pace, and he brings others into the play well. I really don't think he's as affective on the left, and quite often looks to come inside, but he did a job for us there and fully merited his place in the team. When Owen Coyle arrived he promised Lafferty more chances in his preferred position and he got those opportunities, initially he played very well and got a good return of goals, his form did however noticeably dip after January, but I honestly think by then he didn't want to be here anymore, and saw his career elsewhere after a few bids were rejected. I'd question his ability in the air of all his attributes because as a tall guy he should win more headers. All in all I hope Kyle goes onto become a success for you, If not I would welcome him back here. (I'd probably be in a minority though, given the comments he's given in the press) svens84 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffbear 4,096 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I think Walter needs his head examined and if we get Lafferty then it's the end for Boyd,Cousin and darche. £4m for a Burnley player when Jason Roberts is going for £2m and Eidur Gudjohnson is going for £4m.

pessimistic_pete 2 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Lafferty Fee Agreed With Rangers Posted on: Tue 17 Jun 2008 Burnley Football Club has today agreed a cash-plus-player deal with Rangers for striker Kyle Lafferty. The Clarets have formally agreed a £3m fee for the Northern Ireland striker, with a further £250,000 payable on appearances and a sell-on clause that includes 10% of any future profit. Burnley will also enter discussions with 25-year-old Rangers midfielder Alan Gow as part of the package. Both deals are now subject to the players agreeing personal terms with their respective clubs.Burnley manager Owen Coyle confirmed: "We have received a very good offer from Rangers - a deal worth close to £4m when you include Alan (Gow), who has been offered to us in return as part of the package. "Ultimately, from the fans point of view, Kyle wanted to leave the club after saying he felt it was time to move on. "Providing the deal is concluded we wish him well, but ultimately we want players who are fully committed to Burnley Football Club." http://www.burnleyfootballclub.premiumtv.c...1329669,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
