Johnny B Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Sunday Mail "Released by Rangers striker Kyle Laffery confirms he has knocked back a deal from Kilmarnock but says staying in Scotland remains a priority in his search for a club."

Kilmarnock, who pay higher wages than us, "couldn't get near" Laffertys wage demands this Summer. Lafferty does not say that in his article. He says they could not agree on anything. Could have meant the style of play, the surface, the frequency or commitment to play him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the deal we offered Stevie May initially would be more than what Kilmarnock would have offered Lafferty. If that kind of money is still available then I can see it being enough to lure the likes of Cummings or Lafferty. Especially if some decent performance based bonuses are included that incentivise the move for the player and reward the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny B Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Like most players of this era it will be all about the money. This will be his last contract and he will be looking for at least 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he/his agent have said their preferred option is Scotland then that would rule out the lucrative contracts in the likes of China, USA etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linky Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 I’m imagining he’s holding out for Hearts, but wouldn’t say no to Hibs. If he’s turned down Killie, we haven’t a hope. Hibs are more likely as they are actively looking for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know the specifics but I guess it could have been something like 'a conviction for violent conduct could prevent Mr Swanson playing professional football in countries such as the United States'.

I imagine he will be hoping Hearts (if they're gullible enough) will take him back... until AN IBROX club decides he's playing too well for Hearts again and is therefore a danger to themselves. At which point they wave the cheque book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When May eventually signs, no one will give a $hit. What a shambles, makes me laugh. Can we afford him, if not move on. Wait a minute, can we sign him but loan him to Aberdeen so he can get match fit. Thats surely what happens next, some storyline this saga is.

ONe hack Scott Burns says that finances stall a deal and now suddenly its worrying times and we cant afford him. I would rather believe the Hibs manager stating that the player is going nowhere at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
