Lafferty in 'advanced talks'
That’s according to Sky Sports this lunchtime.
No surprises to me on that one, there have been lots of positive noises from both camps for a couple of days on that one.
Cardiff City have been linked to signing Kyle Lafferty on loan. Here is what Norwich City supporters on the Pink'un forum say about our potential new striker.
- Never given a real run out, but being honest.....the guy is a bit of a donkey. Yes he knows where the back of the net is and will score maybe 10 goals a season. But otherwise you have yourself a bit of a liability if it comes off. Good luck to you.
- He has a cult following here but not quite sure whether the champs is a level too high for him. Hope it works out for you both.
- Our manager doesn't seem to rate him, whether that's due what happens off the pitch, we just don't know, as he has hardly been given a chance on the pitch to tell. Good luck with him, as above a bit of a cult following here.
- Under our previous manager Kyle was played out of position on many occasions, then AN came in and didn't really fancy him because of his 'off the ball antics'. I've heard this is because his punctuality at times isn't the best (could be rubbish), but his record for NI speaks for itself. A determined Kyle Lafferty with his head screwed on could be good at this level and it's fair to say when he's been played in his preferred position in cup games, he's produced more often than not. At the end of the day he's doesn't come across like Alex Neil's type of player, be that because of his attitude, ability or both, but I guess when a new manager comes in, they have the right to choose their team based on their philosophy. Either way Kyle is better off somewhere else for his careers sake, I hope he does well for you, but not too well
.
- He's an odd one, that's for sure. Immediately after we signed him he played on the left of midfield for a while, which certainly didn't play to his perceived strengths. Since Alex Neil arrived he's barely had a look-in, pretty obvious that Neil doesn't rate him. Laffs has a reputation as being a bit of a loose cannon - always looks like he's about to pick up a card of one colour or another, and his off-pitch antics have been well documented. He does look a handful whenver he plays, and with the right manager and team around him could be a decent Championship striker (or at least an option from the bench when you need a big lump to aim at). Don't expect too much, and you won't be disappointed... he's a gamble, but he could chip in with a few and cause some problems. He's clearly annoyed with the way he has been treated here - if you start him against us at Carrow Road, he'll probably get his dumb ** sent off for kicking someone...
- How Kyle arrived to us - he made a good impresssion playing on the left, showing good skills and attitude. He never really made he breakthrough as a first team regular after a few weeks, ending up as a bit part player. Later in the season when he made appearances, he was reckless in the way he played - a red card waiting to happen and after that, he hardly played at all. However, whenever he has played for NI and on the occasions he has played in reserve type/cup matches - he has done well, scoring more often than not. So it's a strange one. Seemingly too maverick for our manager and as a result he's not been given a chance at first team level. He definitely has ability and there is a player in there with something to offer, but his head has to be right - and that may be your problem.
- I'm sorry to see him go, never felt that he was given a fair chance here. Constant rumours of his attitude, professionism etc, but he's older and hopefully more mature, so I think he'll do a good job for you. Best of luck to him.
- He's probably a bit too good for you!
- Freeing up wages to bring in Ings on loan.
- Never really had a chance BUT as we like Cardiff so much you can have him free of charge, thank us by beating Ipswich and some of the top teams as payment.
- Looking at your squad list I would say that he is an improvement on what you have. Having said that I have always liked Le Fondre when he is on form, shame that he can never maintain it for long, bit like Pilkington in that respect.
- Watched him in our reserve and under 21's side and he was a waste of space in every game i've seen.
- He obviously has ability, but seems to need to be treated 'specially' to find it - has had as many clubs as I've had hot dinners and for us probably isn't quite worth the amount of effort that it takes given we have had better players on the books who don't need it. Good luck to him though.
- If City dont get two strikers in by Wednesday night, and right now we have officially not even one in, then Kyle may well still be at Norwich come thursday. Just so many ifs and buts in the last 2 or 3 days of a window, main reason why i had hoped NCFC had got their business done long by now, but seems like its our way to wait until the last possible moment.
- More chance of a yellow card than a goal.
- A player that is perhaps more active on twitter than in training.
- Expect to see him start score the winner and end your away day blues. Never given chance to prove he was a striker.
- After the Birmingham game I stayed with some Birmingham supporters who advised when he was there on loan he got a game and a half and is still considered the worst player ever to wear a Birmingham shirt. He has been a few places on loan and no managers have played him. Says it all really, but you never know maybe he will train hard instead of tweet herd at his new club.

I think if Gonuongbe played 344 games for us.. He'd probably score less than 76. I think if you brought Jon Parkin back it'd be an improvement on what we have now. We're absolute shit.

for a player like this its sink or swim. in our situation he will be booed off the pitch if he doesnt put a shift in and we lose.
at our budget, you sometimes have to take gambles on talent and just hope it works out. it has worked out in the past with someone like bothroyd, but backfired with someone like macheda.

Cardiff City are now in advanced talks with Norwich over the permanent transfer of Kyle Lafferty, as Federico Macheda leaves the Bluebirds after his contract was terminated by mutual consent, Sky Sports understands.
Lafferty moved to Carrow Road two years ago but has only made 13 starts for Norwich, scoring three times.
His most recent goal was the opener in last week's 6-1 EFL Cup win over Coventry but it sure looks like the writing is on the wall, especially after Alex Neil's decision to play Steven Naismith ahead of him at Birmingham on Saturday.

Palermo might be in for Lafferty too:
http://sportwitness.co.uk/cardiff-city- ... eal-fails/?
I hope he goes to Italy and we get in 2 other goalscorers instead - but I doubt it. Feels like the only story is Lafferty and the club have got all their eggs in that one basket.

Norwich forward Kyle Lafferty is set to stay with the club after Cardiff, Reading and Palermo all failed with late moves.
The Royals were trying to thrash out a Deadline Day deal for the Northern Ireland international while Cardiff also tried.
Palermo were also keen to bring the forward back to the club, after selling him to Norwich in 2014, but Norwich's struggles to sign a new striker means Lafferty is likely to stay at Carrow Road as they have no replacement.
