Kris Boyd On Summer Signings

[gsa 3,906]

Pathetic article. Ryan Jack has been as poor a signing as anyone, why's he missing from Boyds list?

I don't know how anyone can criticise Herrera. He gets ten minutes when we're either a goal up and holiding on or we're chasing a lost game. Murty has already praised his attitude so what makes Boyd able to contradict that?

Fat parasite.

Folk are right moaning about some of his comments because he done exactly the same on his second time at the club , but he is 100% spot on about this shower of shite we signed.

Rich coming from Boyd after his second stint with us  . However he is bang on the money with this

He is.

In fact he’s perfectly placed to write that - he’s seen both sides of the coin for himself, in his 2 spells!

It. Is a pot black kettle article, he is one to talk about a jolly. Imagine if one of our players spent most of his life writing about a club he still plays against he SFA would hammer him for bringing the game into disrepute or what ever charge they could stick.

I have wondered about the fact he is still playing and the articles he writes but it must be OK for him to do it. I agree if he was still a Rangers player it would be different. 

I still think it is over the top tabloid shite but many who are having a go at him have probably said the same as him about the players. I just would prefer him not to be so direct in this occasion.

I am also a fan of Kris and that no doubt colours my opinion.

they've mostly been poor but I'm uncomfortable with the idea they came for a jolly. Things don't always work out and the likes of Herrera don't fit. Pena scores goals that win games. That's not really failing.

[graeme_4 34,505]

Some cheek to criticise after his last spell.

Also very unprofessional, but to be expected from a guy who used to get doctors notes when he had a hangover.

People were excited for both Alves and Pena. Virtually no one was on here criticising the signings. They haven’t worked out, but that happens. 

There is no criticism of the British based ones who’ve been just as bad, or praise for the ones that have worked out. Typical sensational pish for mongos. Doesn’t even write in paragraphs.

"Players from South America" He was doing so well too.

Also think he is out of order just naming those 5. There's been many many more flops, including a few pals of Mr Boyd.

I'd never heard of Pena but thought Alves would have done really well.

guys from a far away country ,don't speak the language and are doing their best to settle with the little playing time they get. Again a negative witch hunt on our players and if I was them I would be heading out too. The negativity within our support and  many times worse the Media in Scotland has a huge impact on our club and football here in general.

Unless new players are diehard supporters as kids they wont ever get half a chance. Time to wake up 

[plumbGER 24,518]

Give him another 5/10 years and he will be sounding like Butcher.

[gj923 1,457]

I see this is the script in a few papers now so it must be an attempt to get rid of them all. It’s fine however as we have Halliday who was shite first time and went abroad and was shite and now he’s back he will be.....

In what universe is two games in Turkey almost the same amount as 101 in Turkey?

No mate. The spirit of it is what i agree with

[The Specky Forum Organiser 64,619]

Good article.

[Parlaneloyal 353]

After his second stint with us and his spell in Turkey he's got a bit of a brass neck.

He's right enough with some of it though

Lying to make Rangers players look bad while ignoring his own failings?

Cmon mate you know what i mean.

And many bears on this thread slagging him off... It ain't about boyd. Like i said. The spirit of the article is right.  Just like fire and fury. Not perfect but pretty much spot on n'est ce pas?

I've no issue with folk having a go at the players but deliberately bullshitting to make them look worse than they are is shite imo. If Boyd had said Alves looks injury prone - he has - there'd be no problem. To come away with shite about playing as many games in Turkey as Alves did in Russia - he didn't.Boyd played twice, Alves played 101 games - is poor.

To make a big deal of Cardoso not coming away with "marks on his face" is unnecessary. Is THAT how we measure the quality of defenders? How many times they get hurt?

Pena's not been great but with 4 goals in 12 league games it's hardly an "unmitigated disaster". Especially not when Boyd hit 3 in 29 league games in the Championship for us. Boyd's got 9 in 18 league games for Killie this season and has played 80 minutes or more in 10 of those. Pena has played over 80 minutes once. 

Most of them are playing in a new country for the first time in their career. Boyd will know as well as anyone how difficult it can be to adapt to a new environment, culture and language. He struggled everywhere that wasn't Scotland. 

 

[nelsonRFC82 305]

He's not xenophobic but he reckons players from South America will always struggle...even though we only signed one South American, and he actually gets praise from Boyd?

Aye. When he's refunded the wages he stole from us for that season of pie-eating then he can maybe comment.

You could substitute his name for any of those he's having a go at.

[BLUEDIGNITY 33,647]

He's not wrong and probably could tell us a lot more of what's been going on, especially his second stint at Ibrox which was atrocious and looked like he was like the rest of them, going through the motions for easy cash !
