EthiGeordie Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Apparently, Boyd wants to join us. Or, so it says here. Boyd is apparently miffed that he is yet to be offered new terms in Glasgow, but the key subplot to this whole affair is that he has little interest in a move. If the former Kilmarnock player is to leave his boyhood heroes, it is thought he wants that to be in the summer at the earliest and to Newcastle United, by virtue of a childhood worship of Alan Shearer. It seemed Boyd was being deliberately obtuse a year ago when he priced himself out of a move to Birmingham, albeit Alex McLeish's current run at St Andrew's makes them now a more appealing draw. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2010/jan/07/kris-boyd-rangers-transfer-window £3M seems to be a bit much for Beckford. It would be nice to sign Boyd in the summer... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 He has scored some pretty nice goals tbf (even if at a lower level). Certainly not just a poacher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 From what i can gather he's just a very, very good finisher. He probably wouldn't need to be a particularly great footballer to be effective in our team - certainly not in this league, similar to Shola really. Shola - let's face it - he's a pretty wank footballer. He's played alongside some half-decent strikers so aye, he has the nice touch here and there, but by and large he's just a finisher and that's why he's got 8 in 10 this season, or something. The type of football we've played this season, we can defend our way to a victory. We can create one chance and score, and that'll be enough. That sort of winning football hits the rocks when our strikers are off form or injured, see Derby/Plymouth. Ordinarily we'd have snuck a win in both of them though but our attacking players misfired. Beckford puts the ball in the net more often than not and that's why i think he'll be a ruddy good signing for us. I reckoned he'd score a shitload at home especially.

TaylorJ_01 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 And here whe will get a chance to settle in while we are in the Championship (not trying to tempt fate here). Even if the worst happens he's going to get a very, very good run of games as we aren't in dire need of a quick fix at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm more intrigued than excited. I can't wait to see him over the next few months, but if we get promoted, I don't know what to make of him after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
