Judging by some of the moves Lafferty has managed to make in his career he must have a good agent

Very strange decision by Rangers last summer to take him back. The fans hated him first time round, referring to him as Laugherty, so that was never going to work. Just one productive season since leaving Sion and that was 2017/18 at Hearts.

Wasnt it announced last week or the week before that he had signed for a club in Thailand?

Selling him for what we did was one of the best bits of business we have ever done.
Had okay potential but never really progressed, quite probably due to his character.

A remember him as a ball boy in the days when youth team players were used
Kyle always looked a decent youth player.Overall hes not had too bad a career always seems to get decent clubs.

Anyone who saw his “character” at Blackpool have little problem understanding why he never progressed.

His loss ultimately proved to be our gain as we brought Paterson and Eagles in,and the rest is history.
Looking at his goal scoring or lack of,how on earth did we get nearly £4m a decade ago wow!
He averaged a goal every 9 games and that was in the Championship.

After that outburst, Brendan Flood ordered the club to put out a statement saying that Lafferty had no issues with the club but had a problem with the fans. Made Flood look even dafter than Lafferty.

A real troublemaker was Lafferty, when he wasn't hanging around in KFC. Bewildering how we got so much money for such a bang average player. And I think bang average is the biggest compliment I can pay him looking at his subsequent career.

I think Kyle was more interested in scoring elsewhere than football if you get my meaning .

Reggina will be his 12th club, you do have to wonder whether he regrets some of those moves, but knowing Kyle probably not, he always promised more than he delivered, and that's why he's now a journeyman. We did well getting rid of him when we did, and the £3m looks good money given how his career has panned out since.

I'll give it until mid October before the Reggina faithful are asking, " Perche abbiamo comprata questa testa di cazzo ? "

He’s a clown, spoke to a few lads from different clubs that played with him, terrible professional even at international level. Not going to go into detail but he’s not well liked

Wikipedia on his time at Palermo:
He scored 11 goals in 34 matches to help the club ascend to Serie A as champions in his only season, and won the Fans Player of the Season award. However, club president Maurizio Zamparini called him an "out-of-control womaniser" and claimed that this lifestyle resulted in him being sold.
Sums him up pretty well.

He hasn’t done too bad tbh. Being payed to play in Italy, Turkey, Switzerland. Playing for Rangers. Not the best of careers but when you take it back to barebones that’s nothing to grumble at. Especially when he wasn’t ever that good.

Decent record for NI too. He was their great hope at one of the recent major tournaments.

Kyle has joined Kilmarnock until the end of the season
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56038916 I must admit I'm staggered to see he's still only 33, he seems to have been around forever and a day now.

Very overrated and some of the best business we ever did was flogging him at a ridiculous price. A Northern Ireland mate of mine used to call him Bamby on ice. Preston must be getting desperate if they think he is the answer.

I read this morning that he was expected to sign for Kilmarnock having had his contract cancelled at his most recent club.
He always said he would play in our Premier League and to be fair he did, he got 13 minutes as a substitute in one game for Norwich in 2015/16 season.

Never forget when he was at Rangers and a player made a movement of his head towards him on the touchline, he went down like ton of bricks clutching his face. Laughable, he got the guy sent off, later the card was recinded

We certainly did well getting £3.5m for him, can't work out whether this, or the £1.2m we got for Wayne Thomas was the biggest robbery we ever committed.

100% agree
At least with Lafferty there was decent potential there. For Thomas it must've been more a case of trying not to smile when speaking with Southampton about the "negotiations"...
After 24 games with us, Thomas was averaging a red card every 6 games if I remember correctly. Must be some kind of record.
