Miller and Boyd

[likeacare 9]

Miller isn't Rangers class. I don't care who he played for in the past, what god (if any) he prays to or how many sugars he takes in his tea.

If he nets 20 plus goals a season I will appologise and eat my hat, but that's unlikely to happen.

2 million is far too much to pay for him based on his goal scoring record. I just hope Walter (who I have the utmost respect for) doesn't live to regret this signing.

But what really worries me is this... if he plays the lone striker up front ahead of Boyd, the big man may feel undervalued and that he is being shown disrespect and demand a move. Would you blame him?

Imagine losing Boyd to keep Miller!!!!!!!!!!!! Nightmare scenario.

I reckon Miller has been signed to play alongside Boyd.

On European nights though we can probably expect to see Miller up top himself.

I hope Walter plays them together, he might do a job for us in that scenario, let's hope so because Miller hardly ever scores.

As for him playing up front in Europe... NIGHTMARE!

Yes there is the whole debate about whether or not we should even be playing one upfront at all, but playing Miller upfornt on his own isn't a nightmare.

Des[ite hs poor first touch and inability to score goals his pace and movement can cause teams all sorts of problems on the counter attack.

He has excelled in that role for Scotland for nearly three years now and his attributes also played a massive in that breakaway goal that he scored against Benfica a couple of years ago.

The only nightmare will be if we don't sign a midfielder who is capable of arriving late into the box and moving into the pockets of space that Miller's movement and pace create, especially on the counter attack.

Novo has the pace and movement you speak of and is Rangers through and through.

[Ibroxblue 122]

From what I've read, Miller actually had a good scoring record for Celtic in Europe.

Brilliant!

He doesn't have the experience of playing the role and he's going to spend most of next season on the wing to cover for the absence of Nasimith and Burke.

Did he? Never managed to win an away game for them though. :harhar:

Anyhow, do you have any stats on it? I'd be interested to read them mate.

He does at international level as well. 1 in 3.

i think he scored one less in europe than he did for them in the spl 3 goals in 8 games in europe i think.. not bad, actually better than any of our strikers in europe this season

I think Nacho might have matched that if you include all Euro competitions.

[disgruntled_bear 157]

Boyd will stay on the Bench so don't worry

3 in 5 CL games

[craigeee 60]

Walter will probably just try and sign the whole team he had as scotland manager.

It's looking that way.

Shouldn't someone tell him the 3 foreigner rule doesn't apply any more.

The smart money says Boyd will be used exactly the way he was used last season(starting against inferior teams)

It could of course be argued that all SPL and domestic Cup opposition are inferior in terms of quality.

But the way Walter was talking a few weeks ago, I thought he was suggesting that we will be more attacking next year and because of that Boyd will start more.

[Muff 245]

I dont think Boyd will feature much more than this season, especially if we sign Velicka and Purovic.

[True_Blue_Gal 0]

I don't think Boyd will he here at start of next season. Sadly its a shame because i reckon if he was started every game he would have scored the most goals.

[stuvey 5]

it probably wont even be a 4-4-2.. miller on his own.

[outlaw69uk 123]

That would be my MAIN worry! We should be buying creative attacking midfielders to supply the lad

we won't have many European nights if he's up front himself and with Walters system the support will come from Webster and Dailly

[BillyBoyBlue 0]

I bloody love Boyd

Play him every game and he will score 30+ easily!

Novo and Boyd would be my partnership

Miller and Boyd could be ok though

Miller on his own and we can kiss the league goodbye
