I am not sure that Lafferty was Gerrards choice. I think that lies with mark Allen. Gerrard was not long in the door when the Lafferty deal was done. It was reported later that Gerrard was not happy with some of Allen's choices. There were even Rumours Gerrard was about to walk away. Whether that was rubbish or they had a good discussion about the signing policy I don't know, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be sticking in my craw too if I were a Newcastle fan and I do have a soft spot for Newcastle. On transfermarkt his reported minutes to goals ratio is 305 minutes per goal. If that stayed the same in the EPL it works out at 11 goals in a 38 game league season providing he played every minute of every game. Considering he's listed as a centre forward I would be looking for considerably better stats for 40 million quid. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen Joelinton’s record ? A striker.... has never scored more than 8 goals in a single season... £40 million ? If that’s the case we should be expecting at least the same for Morelos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case we should be expecting at least the same for Morelos Yes I have seen it which I mentioned in the post above yours and just like you i'm astounded by the price tag. Minutes to goals ratio of 305 minutes per goal. An 11 league goals a season man if he maintains that while playing every minute of every game in a 38 match league season. I expect that from a good midfielder and considerably more than that for a £40 million striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,414 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 The probably paid half that and Ashley has just let it out there that he paid £40M to get the fans off his back. He doesnt mind lying if it makes him look good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that the last bit was the final 15k straws that broke the camel`s back. There are things you can`t do as a Rangers player. IMHO, I was hoping he would play far more often, for he was and sure is a player who can lash in a goal from distance and various angles, something we lacked all season ... not least when all technique and art of dribbling brought no countable end product. Was not to be. SSN reports that Grezda is next out of the door ... but that could just be a re-hash of yesterday`s words of SG. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought that the Club had moved on from the Treasure Island School of Financial Management. Edited July 25, 2019 by Uilleam 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
