now then forever 298 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I think most people would like a complete clear out of our current squad, however, it appears that will be unlikely. More than likely a few players will leave and a few will come in. If we were to bring in one striker to our existing squad who would it be?Personally, wouldn't mind Boyd, obviously a great finisher, but only if this was to replace Daly. Boyd and Daly up front would offer no mobility, runs in behind the defense and closing down defenders, which we've missed imo. Strikers we've been linked with include the likes of Boyd, Miller, May, Ciftci, McKay.I have to say May's goalscoring record at Alloa, Hamilton and St Johnstone is really good. Might not be able to afford a fee for him, however, he could potentially be a good investment. Edit-Does anyone know when his contracts is up, is it actually this summer? A striker force of Boyd, May, Clark and Gallagher to choose from would be pretty good.Who would you like to see brought in for next year?

Robespierre 589 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Ciftci's a Tim sympathizer. Preferably Stevie May, but I'd also take Kris Boyd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilstonloyal 186 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Miller and Boyd will do Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Billy McKay or Stevie May would be ideal but very little chance of it happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,752 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I like Boyd but is he really going to make that much of a difference?Him playing isolated on his own front and getting long balls fired up to him constantly isn't going to be much different to Daly doing it.If we were going 4-4-2 with Boyd and Clark then yeah that would be fine but if we stick with 4-5-1 then I don't see what difference Boyd will make.

If we continue to play a lone striker and fire him with long balls it will just be more of the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NixonRFC 1,309 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 May would cost around £1m...St Johnstone knocked back £600k for him in January and as he is under 24 it'd go to a tribunial if his contract ran out, I also think hes a fan of St Johnstone so don't think he'd do the dirty on them and hold them to ransomI think Billy McKay could be got for about £500k and he'd bena grest investment too.

Given they are in the SPL a 7x pay rise seems a bit big for dropping down a league - then a minimum of £10K a week (depending on the rumour you read) when we get promoted.I want Boyd back - but for 10 times the wages he is on at the moment? fucking hell it seems a bit big.

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I seriously hope the Boyd rumor is bullshit. Whilst I've come round slowly to re-signing him i would be pretty pissed off if we gave him 7k a week rising to 14k a week its Fucking madness at any time never mind with our finances so tight. I would have to seriously reconsider my support for the board if this was true! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to seriously reconsider my support for the board if this was true!£3.5k doubling to £7k would be about right. We should cap it at about £10k for a few years anyway, and Boyd should definitely not be top earner when we're back in the top league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally doesn't know his budget, so how can he have agreed terms? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
