simplythebest 11,453 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I think we'd miss the goals. But whatever you may think of him as a player, if you think the money received would go towards buying players then you're kidding yourself. It would go towards servicing the debt and we'd never hear of it again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laldo 4 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I really hope we do not accept £1.5m. Selling Boyd would then also leave us short on striking options. just a thought but say we sold boyd and brought in Lovenkrands.... took the 1.5million to strengthen the squad either at the back or on the wing. I would take that. but i cant see boyd leaving as i dont think he could adapt over there..he may go for the money but who knows....we shall see what happens but i would ask for abit more than 1.5mill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 7 months ago we had the chance to cash in on him for £3.5m and now we are down to £1.5m. It looks unlikely Boyd will be given a new deal and it also looks unlikely that he will feature an awful lot this season so now is the chance to cash in on him!

It looks unlikely Boyd will be given a new deal and it also looks unlikely that he will feature an awful lot this season so now is the chance to cash in on him! A chance we took, it was Boyd's decision that the move never went through. We haven't heard any word that he'll be offered a new deal or not, nobody seems to have posed the question to Walter Smith or anyone yet. But he played on Saturday so he can't be that far away from the first team plans and Walter Smith said near the end of last season that he wanted him to be here this season. But obviously it would be better to get 1.5 million than nothing, maybe we're too skint to offer him a new contract if anything! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCapone 7,678 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Some of our fans are fucken idiots. McCoist was a lazy bastard and all he did was score, yet everyone regards him as this remarkable legendary striker. It's amazing how different people think of a player because he was a cheeky chappy always up for a laugh. Sell Boyd and lose a guaranteed 25 goals a season. Infact he'd be the first person I'd offer a contract to out that whole team. Mccoist was NOT lazy, he worked his balls off on the park Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCapone 7,678 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 There goes the mhedia again then, Brown's worth 520million but Boyd's barely worth 2.. Compton, the length of the contract really determines the fee.... Boyd can sign for a free transfer for any club in January, why would anyone offer silly money for a player that you can sign for nothing in 4 months?

Compton, the length of the contract really determines the fee.... Boyd can sign for a free transfer for any club in January, why would anyone offer silly money for a player that you can sign for nothing in 4 months? According to the mhedia Celtics top 3 assets are Broonaldo - £11million, McGeady - £8million and Boruc £8million. They value our assets at Boyd - £2million, Davis £3million and McGregor £4-5million. These price tags tend to stick and as we have seen, Bain believes that these are accurate valuations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 It was just a matter of time before Boyd was linked with a move away, and if we ain't giving him a new deal then we should cash in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 9 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 There goes the mhedia again then, Brown's worth 520million but Boyd's barely worth 2.. It's called inflation. He cost timmy 4.2M quid, of course he'd be worth around double that now. Boyd cost us 500K, why would he be worth 10M now? Just like we bought Bougherra for about 3M and he's quoted as worth about 6-10M now. It is really very simple - and nothing to do with 'mhedia'.

Muff 245 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Rather save the money in wages. Time and time again we have shown that we can score, and win without Boyd. We play better football without him aswell. I guess his performance at Tannadice was just a one off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I hope he's sold before the window closes. Do you not think that would leave us too short? We are already too short. At least we have options upfront unlike at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Based on what, we're one game into the competitive season, and suddenly it means the Tannadice display was a one of? As far as wages go Boyd isn't even one of the highest paid i don't think, although he may want to be in any new contract he gets. I think five strikers is the right number to have and i want it to stay that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ignoring the fact that Brown has been terrible (on the whole) since signing for Celtic, and Boyd has scored goals for fun since coming to Rangers. So really previous transfer fee's shouldn't matter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
