Confirmed Ins and Outs Summer 2014 - Are you happy?

What happened to Lafferty and Loza, ZLF?

I genuines dont see Lafferty as a striker,   a wide forward yes, but his goal scoring record isnt good enough and he does not offer an aerial threat - coming in from wide is,  I beleive,  is best position. 

Loza I love and think his future is as bright as Josh M,   but like Josh  he is young and we cant start this season expecting to rely on him from as a regular starter - we will see him occasionally from the bench but as a bit part player.   He is one for the future and I cant see him keeping Jerome or Hooper off the bench once both are fit.

I think Lafferty definitely offers an aeriel threat. Any striker who is 6 ft 4 is always going to offer a threat in the air. The problem is because he plays out wide he's never in the box when the ball is put in. I don't think we're going to see the best of him until he gets a regular run up front. But with Grabban scoring it's likely we won't see that anytime soon.

Wasn't Lafferty used as a regular forward the other day? In the game in which he scored and assisted?

Throughout his career at Rangers and Palermo his position was often changed around but he has still scored goals. If he was used as a forward for an extended period of time I would imagine he'd be a fairly regular scorer. I'd like to see him used in a pair someday, with either Grabbs or Hooper.
