Surprised no one in Scotland signed him.

 

[wilso10]

It's almost as if his agent throws a dart at a map of the World to decide to his next move.

 

[Coplandbear]

I give it 6/12 months before he's on the move again.

 

[Batigol]

Hope he's got airmiles. He'll never have to pay for a holiday again.

 

[HamiltonJungleBear]

Such a Lafferty move. Love the big daft guy and all his lunacy.

 

[Vallance]

Clever way to get your Holidays.

 

[Big Hepy]

Probably the only way he could get a decent holiday this year.

 

[TibbsyBear]

6-12 months in a nice climate on decent wages.
Why not...

 

[Gold_son]

Good move for Kyle, get some sunshine, avoid a miserable Scottish winter, although he'll probably be back in Scotland by January, at a team struggling, like Hearts.

 

[Albertz_Was_King]

Have him and his missus not run up serious debts and owe a lot of people in Scotland a lot of money?

Makes sense to jet off to Cyprus.

 

[IrvineLoyal]

He should have stayed at Kilmarnock as he would have been the main man and would have suited him.



Heard before he had wasted most his cash he earned from playing so maybe chasing the £ as he wont have many years left.

 

[Nakedbear]

Glad it is for Anorthosis. Soft spot from when I lived out there and played Rangers a few times.

 

[Kaba]

It's almost as if his agent throws a dart at a map of the World to decide to his next move.

He’s said in interviews before he prefers playing abroad. Who can really blame him? I know what I would choose between Kilmarnock or Cyprus. He’s getting paid to play football in some of the nicest countries in the world

Who was that wee ginger midfielder they had when we played them? he was a pain in the arse.

 

[UlsterScotGer]

Probably worried that if he signed for Motherwell he’d have to keep up the new media pretence that Stephen O’Donnell is an adequate footballer.

 

[UlsterScotGer]

Kiriakov? Turned up at Aberdeen as well.

 

[Frajo]

Good luck big man great location

Fair enough but has he ever had a successful spell abroad?

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Had my Anorthosis polo on the other day. Only bit of kit I have that is of another team

 

[OnTheWay]

Crazy how some footballers completely waste their money

 

[uddingstonbluenose]

Kiriakov? Turned up at Aberdeen as well.

Ketsbaia was at them too when we played them the 2nd time.

Also Sinisa Gogic who played against us in 1995, is the father of Alex Gogic, who plays for Hibs.

 

[Stevie13000]

Good luck to the big man.

 

[St Andrews Bear]

Ketsbaia was at them too when we played them the 2nd time.

Great player but a bit eccentric, still remember him kicking the advertising hoarding to bits at Newcastle

 

[Main Stand]

Palermo, in a front three with Belotti and Dybala.

 

[NorthLanBear]

Crazy how some footballers completely waste their money

I’d be buying up properties and holiday homes.

 

[markkerrsbackpass]

Can't help but love the guy.
Somehow done us a job for us despite half our support disliking him and the Scottish media dispising him.
(Didn't Bill Leckie write a column about wishing he was injured?)

 

[jimcornette]

Opened this hoping he’d have signed for us again. Gutted.

 

[monkey magic]

Big Kyle scored in three different title winning end of season games for us, away at Tannadice, Rugby Park and Easter Road. He'll do for me.

 

[High Society]

I give it 6/12 months before he's on the move again.

Kilmarnock Hero ffs

 

[Coopers left foot.]

Put the rod away.

Opened this hoping he’d have signed for us again. Gutted.

 

[BomberBrownFan]

Ayia Napa watch out

 

[Crouchy]

Back in January to save Hearts from relegation.

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

Love big Laffbot he’s a bit bonkers but the big man is one of us and helped secure a few historic title wins - special memories nothing wish him all the best.

What a place to live for a year .

 

[DechmontLoyal]

Back in January to save Hearts from relegation.

Or back in January as big Angela’s last throw of the dice to try and secure top 6.

 

[jimcornette]

Put the rod away.

Wallace?

 

[Bear out west]

He gets around that boy

 

[AlohaBear]

Ketsbaia was at them too when we played them the 2nd time.

Also Sinisa Gogic who played against us in 1995, is the father of Alex Gogic, who plays for Hibs.

Ketsbaia also played for AEK Athens when they put us out in 1994/95 season.

 

[LittleRockGer]

Scotland, or sunny Cyprus? With (probably) a pay raise to boot? For a player in the twilight of his career? Absolute, no brainer. Plus, isn't he a single man? Come on...hahah! He probably went for half the pay. I would.

 

[Alex Boyce]

It's almost as if his agent throws a dart at a map of the World to decide to his next move.

And yet two thirds of the world's water!
He's a lucky boy @#@

 

[SuperGers07]

Could be playing against Celtic in a few weeks

 

[SMIB]

Sun on your back for 12 months, few grams per week
Why not!

 

[Brick Hithouse]

Lafferty is just a cosmopolitan guy. Bet he speaks ten languages now.

 

[Ross_]

Nice part of the world to play football - couldn’t blame him - I’d much rather play in Cyprus than in the championship for Killie.

wonder what kind of weekly wage they are paying these days

 

[GazzaG]

Or back in January as big Angela’s last throw of the dice to try and secure top 6.

Will he be Aberdeen manager at that point?

I don't expect him to last til January at the piggery.

 

[Teuchterblue]

Surprised no one in Scotland signed him.

Rumour in Dundee was that he had agreed to play next season for whichever team won the play-off between Dundee and Killie. As with most rumours it turned out to be sh.ite.

 

[Buffalobluebear]

Just looking at his Wiki page

Norway, Italy (twice), Switzerland, Turkey and now Cyprus

December in Cyprus does sound more appealing than December in Dingwall or Aberdeen to be fair

 

[Roosevelt]

When you plot all the places he's played for together on a map, it'll form a giant Masonic symbol.

 

[Chief Rafferty]

Well done Kyle's agent! December in Cyprus is most agreeable, it was 21c on Xmas day past, it'll beat a wet Tues night in Feb up in the Highlands!

You can understand the demand. There’s not too many 7 foot goalscorers knocking about Europe.
