papaguy51 912 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 For £6mil?? I'm starting to warm to him, but for that kinda money I'd drive him myself! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
petebrown11 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 he doesnt exactly seem like an integral part of Walter's plans, so I can see him leaving. We should hold out for £8-10m though. Shame, I think he could be a great player for us if he had a decent partner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briton 394 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 If we were offered £6 million for Boyd I think they'd rip their arm off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 £6million for Boyd? £3million for Cousin? £10million for Ceullar? £9million for Hutton What a good 6 months Sir David Murray would have. He'd be offski by august if them 3 deals went through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy500 463 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 We will take it and run if we are offered that. We need to accept that Boyd is not part of Smith's plans no matter how much the fans like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotBear 144 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 If he leaves, it won't be for more than £3m. That's my prediction anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeebear3 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Not worth anywhere near 6 million quid. Bite anyones hand off who offers even half of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw69uk 123 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Its not enough money, and, I really dont think he would go. On top of that, the post above about the money, and how much would go to the team? the simple answer is not f*cking enough! We havent replaced Hutton, so, now we are coping rather than excelling. He was pretty much our only wide threat, as well as the defensive atributes. Take Boyds goals away as well and we may be in bother. Plus, his hold up play and touch were a lot better yesterday, i thought, so, if he is improving, why sell? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ara 154 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 ... some of the posts on here are BS...suggesting KB isn't worth £3m just shows that the poster doesn't understand the EPL market... Quoted responses to this news include: bluenose. madon April 6th, 2008 10:52 pm "6million is cheap for a good striker!" Peter McAleeron April 7th, 2008 3:08 am "... if Walter is daft enough to let him go for a mere 6 - 8Million youd be getting a bargain for goals scored. Poacher supreme & not pushed about either as he is a big strong lad unafraid to put his head in." Ben Howardon April 7th, 2008 10:13 am "Sell AJ to the Hammers for £10m and get Kris Boyd in for £6m¦ sounds like good business to me. Then just make sure we get some midfielders that can actually pass the ball to our forwards." The last bit in bold is what interests me... if Boyd played in an EPL side with top class service he'd be lapping up the goals... and I wonder what the response from all the "sell him cheap and fast" merchants will be then. The boy has a natural goal scoring talent that is hard to find and many teams will pay very good money for it... Walter's team style doesn't work for Boyd, but he is still the highest scoring Gers striker with half the starts of those around him... He has been more patient and loyal than most would have been in his situation, having racked up the goals and then sat on the bench week in, week out... he loves the Gers and shows it.... I admire these qualities even if few others want to recognise them as assets... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I don't think he wants to go and I actually don't think WS wants to get rid of him, might not suit the current style of play but he can still score goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dummiesoot 16,123 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Boyd has not once in the three seasons he has been here had a regular strike partner, Ally had, Hately, Johnston, Drinkell all doing his donkey wokr for him at different junctures in his Rangers career, Boyd has not had that luxury. Goals means a hefty transfer fee, we could not replace him for £5M imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,751 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Not worth anywhere near 6 million quid. Bite anyones hand off who offers even half of that. if your right, do we just knock back higher offers?... I am a big boyd fan, but i would take £6Million and RUN if anyone offered us that kind of money, forget anything under £4-5Million because we wont get another poacher like him, he has saved our blushes a few times over the last couple of seasons, people need to give him a break Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltonLoyal 2 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 £6m is a lot of cash for a player who's not first choice. I love KB and would desperately want him to stay but not to be languishing on the sub's bench. Hope Walter keeps him and in the summer gets a midfielder/beardsleyesque type of player to feed him the chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Not a chance of any side paying £6m for Kris Boyd. If someone was mad enpugh to pay that then we should bite their hand off and run like f*ck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,262 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I do not think there is much in this story.There were no bites for him in January.We also have to remember that the premiership is quite a bit faster than the spl where Boyd's lack of pace and poor first touch are noticable weaknesses.

plymouthranger 3,955 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Living down in England i feel i can educate a great deal of you on transfer prices for players. 1) Prem Clubs sign crappy players for 6-7million 2) Only Rangers player ANY of my classmates have heardd of are Boyd, Baz and McShagger 3) Any money over 4million is a brilliant bid! we signed him for under a million, over 50goals later and we'd still make a tremendous profit! 4) I love Boyd, but he would be a hot property if he was transfer listed... teams like WBA, Birmingham, Wigan, Fulham, Sunderland, Blackburn etc. who can all easily pay 6million plus decent wages!
