BRICKY1872 118 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 is boydy that thick that he cant take a hint that they dont want him at ibrox? no chance of an offer for a new contract and they give him permission to talk to other clubs, or is he just being cute to run down contract? How about the crazy notion that he only wants to play for Rangers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Kris Boyd has certainly improved his all-round game over the last 18 months, that's a fact. He would for sure be loss to the side if he was to be sold this window and especially if we do not bring in a replacement in as Novo, Lafferty, Miller and Naismith won't replace his goals. The big question, if he stays, is should Boyd play/start against teams like Celtic, Sevilla and Stuttgart? Well I think with the squad we've got that we should start him, starting with Stuttgart away. It would be a bold desicion and a risky one, but, I reckon it could work. His hold-up play and aerial ability has really improved and I think he'd be a good target man if we get the likes of Miller and Lafferty or Naismith supporting him and if he gets the chance he'll stick the ball in the back of the net. If it doesn't work there's always the chance of changing it with either Miller or Lafferty going through the middle. The boy needs to be given the chance. This could be his best season yet, if he stays... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 It doesn't make any sense to let him go just now. I do wonder what the hell we're playing at. I really dont understand how we cant offer him a 1 year extension with the wage he is on now or at least a little bit more with the option of a new one at the end of the year to at least our ourselves if we do sell him... if he had a year to go on his contract we would be paying it anyway, I cant(wont) believe the money situation is that bad at rangers... Walter said NOONES contract is being looked at right now, even his own. I reckon they are waiting till after the window closes. Possibly, but you'd think a club in our current financial strife would be looking to protect the value of it's most sellable assets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilRFC 10 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 If you played for Rangers and was a Rangers fan, would you want to leave? If Boyd really wanted to leave he would be gone, simple as. But he must play for the shirt and not the money, and thats something I want kept at our Club, players who play for the jersey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biotechnology 2 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Don't know what to make of this. I think that he's either got no ambition to test himself in a harder league, or he's not had a big enough offer from Trabzonspor. Lack of ambition possibly, but would you move? Playing at the club you love where all your mates are seems like a cushty wee number to me, and you'd need to put yourself in his position before slating him for wanting to stay. The club - not Kris Boyd - are playing financial Russian roulette here. Again, the fans have been left in the dark having to guess what's going on. Surely a statement from the club would be sensible here? I can't imagine Boyd's mindset being too good if it gets to May next year and he's still not had an offer. I applaud him for digging his heels in to stay at the club he supports. However, if it ends up costing us the services of a Mendes, Davis or Bougherra in the next 24 hours I'll be absolutely aperplectic at him for it. Boydys not daft He will play for another season then leave as a free transfer if he does not get another contract from us(unlikely). He will make a packet because the likelyhood is a bigger club will take a chance on him & with signing on fees & higher wages because no transfer fee is involved. I get the feeling the Ibrox heirarchy are none too happy with Boyd & just want shot off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBoyd 355 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Aye, but he can't play if he doesn't have a contract. We'll just have to see what happens with the contracts, i reckon if he hasn't got one by November, then he should be worried, unless anything official comes out regarding any and all contracts at the club.

RangersAndy 0 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 why is it so hard to understand why a man would rather play for his own club for lower wages than another club for a fortune. we are rangers fans on here, surely the best possible career in football would be rangers?? right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 As a side, I remember Albertz's last contract with us. Walking into Murray's office and had it signed and sealed in under five minutes. Top man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Times like these with us struggling to give players/coaches new contracts and not being able to sign a single while getting rid of a load of first team players in the process it makes you wonder how teams like Notts County and Southampton can get new 'very rich' owners and a club like Rangers can't! IMO a new owner is a must. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm26896 995 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Kris Boyd is not lacking ambition and is not wary of playing in another league The fact of the matter is that his ambition is to beat Henrik Larsonns record - and have a Rangers player as the top goalscorer in the history of the SPL For that we should all be behind him There should be a place in every squad for a player with Boyds record - he should not play every game but should be utilised to help us win games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott-RFC 308 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 We have no other provien striking options, and I worry that losing Boyd would put a massive dent in our title challenge, whether he can do tricks and run fast or not.

Muff 245 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 We can't afford to lose any other players! Selling Boyd would mean we'd have to replace him, along with bringing in the defender (s) and left sided midfielder/winger, we require! If I were Boyd, I'd tell Trabzonspor to ram it. If he doesn't want to play in Turkey, then that's his decision. If any one of our players leave between now and the window closing, then we will have to replace them, and we'll still require the positions we lack in. A fucking disgrace that a club like Rangers can't afford to strengthen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
