Sums it up very nicely 1950. Seems a reasonable signing if it happens, but not every signing is going to get the pulse racing.
It was purely a statisical comparison to explain that checking wikipedia is not the way to assess a player's quality I think it looks like an Elmander replacement, but also I agree he should probably be ahead of Becchio
I don't mind someone physical who will beat up the opposition on occassions and get under their skin. We missed Holty last season as he was one who'd wind the opposition players and fans up and sometimes you need that kind of attitude to unruffle defenders and cause a bit of "atmospehere" with the opposition fans. Let's face it - we hardly had anyone who got up the noses of opposition fans last year - maybe Bradders on occassions or Snoddy (long blade of grass, time to fall over) but we did lack that bit of character last season so maybe Lafferty, if he comes, may give us that. Don't know enough about him to be objective so I've just popped down to Jewsons for some more fences to sit on.
Looks bad indeed, but you could say the guy had his arm out and spun him round. You can just see it at 1 second, but they don't show that bit in the replays because it would spoil the joke.
He probably could walk on water, it was the fact he got confused and dived on grass which made us laugh (or cry sometimes)!

That's, what £4.5m? Sounds very steep so I don't believe it. Is it likely to be that European thing of including the wages in the whole package? So say we're paying him £15kpw on a 3 year contract, they add on the total £2.4m in wages. I'm sure someone said that's been done before
I assumed he was out of contract and joining on a Bosman - surely we're not going to pay anything like that are we????
I still think that sounds quite high - £2.1m for a guy with only one year left on his contract, when Sion got him on a free transfer and presumably don't want to keep him EDIT: checked transfermarkt and he isn't on loan at Palermo (don't know why I thought he was) they bought him and he signed a 3 year contract last year, so he does have 2 years left. Transfermarkt value him at £2.64m, so I suppose that is a reasonable price objectively, though I still think it's quite steep for a striker who has hardly got a massive reputation. Also - interesting he can play as a left winger...
Surely there is no chance that we are paying £4.5m for Lafferty!!! Another £1- 1.5m could get us Deeney! If it is true then someone does indeed want shooting...or at least sacking!
