Zappa 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 And so it begins again, is it resigning talks or transfer talks. http://www.shieldsgazette.com/nufc/Toon-Boro-and-Blues-in.5903767.jp Articles like that will be coming thick & fast over the next month or so & almost all of them will be like that one - rubbish. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabashcannonball 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hope you are right Zappa, but if someone comes in with an offer what will the club do, knock it back and lose Boyd for nothing at the end of the season, or pay him what he asks for now and put all speculation to bed. With Bains record in transfer dealings I fear the worst. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Boyd will get his new contract. I'm certain of it. He's going to be asking for a wage rise, but I don't think he'll hold the club to ransom over it considering the club's current situation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotter 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Boyd in Turkey. That'll be right. New contract, same terms I suspect. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,670 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 FENERBAHCE will battle Newcastle to sign Rangers star Kris Boyd. The Turkish giants have joined the race for the striker after a SEX SCANDAL rocked the club. Fenerbahce sporting director Aykut Kocaman was in Scotland last week to run the rule over Boyd. Kocaman has now given the go-ahead for a �£1.5million bid to be launched following the sex scandal that has stunned Turkey. Hitman Colin Kazim-Richards was transfer-listed by Fenerbahce boss Christoph Daum - along with fellow stars Vederson, Fabio Bilica and Santos after they organised marathon romps in an Istanbul hotel. Former Sheffield United star Kazim-Richards has been a big hit since moving to Istanbul, and played for Turkey at Euro 2008. But Daum - who was himself involved in cocaine-fuelled orgies with prostitutes in 2000 when he was Bayer Leverkusen coach - has insisted the four players are finished at his club. And that could open the door for a bid for Boyd as they need to bring in new players. Daum said: "I'm absolutely shocked to find out these kinds of things are happening. I never expected Fenerbahce players to be involved in something like this." Daum is also ready to dump flop hitman Daniel Guiza. The Spaniard has failed to settle in Turkey and Daum reckons Boyd will fare better. But the German coach faces a battle to land his man, with Newcastle boss Chris Hughton also weighing up a move for the Ibrox goal machine. It's understood that the Toon hierarchy have already sounded out sources close to Boyd over a January switch to the Coca-Cola Championship leaders. Boyd, who is out of contract in the summer, has not been offered a new deal by Gers. And while a move to Newcastle would mean less upheaval, the money on offer in Turkey would be far greater. Birmingham City - who had a �£3.5m offer for Boyd accepted by Gers 12 months ago - remain interested with clubs in Germany also tracking the striker. Trabzonspor are also keen and we can reveal that the Turkish club plan to send a delegation to Tannadice on Tuesday to check on Boyd. Sporting director Unal Karaman will fly into Scotland and watch the 26-year-old in action against Dundee United before trying to convince him his future lies with his side. Advertisement Whatever offer Rangers are finally able to put to their top scorer it is unlikely to match the lucrative contracts Newcastle and the big-spending Turkish clubs are preparing to table. That would mean Boyd's days at Ibrox are numbered. Gers gaffer Walter Smith is desperate to keep Boyd, who reached 151 career SPL goals at Falkirk last week. Smith last night confessed: "I don't know if bids will come in for him - that's out of our hands, isn't it? "We've now started talking to Boyd's agent with regard to a new contract. "But other aspects are totally dependent on other clubs, so I don't know. "We can't determine whether we are going to get a bid for him or not, but if we do then obviously we would need to consider it." http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/2769085/Turks-fight-Toon-for-Boyd.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Sex scandal? You'd think the tims would have their own sex scandals to worry about without bringing it into their pishy Boyd transfer rumors FFS. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totti 0 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I think an upper championship team would suit Boyd, he'd probably do an ok job there. He'd be terrible in the premiership though where he'd get much less time and space and be up against far superior defenders. Fenerbahce? As I said before, they're clearly just looking at the SPL goal charts because he'd bomb there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before, they're clearly just looking at the SPL goal charts because he'd bomb there. I reckon he'd get loads of chances in the right team in the EPL. EPL teams play in the opposition�s box much more than we do up here and at least have players who can deliver some great crosses in to the box. I think he would do very well there. If he does leave us we would be in a much bigger mess than we already are in as we have no one who can guarantee the goals consistently as he does. Goals against the likes of St johnstone etc win you leagues as well as scoring against the so called bigger teams. If he was to go who would take over his role to give us 20+ goals a season? We can't afford anyone and we have no one else in the squad who could do this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totti 0 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 EPL teams play in the opposition’s box much more than we do up here and at least have players who can deliver some great crosses in to the box. I think he would do very well there. Not really true. The premiership has become a much more cautious league in recent years with a much more defensive approach. And even supposing, the defences are far, far superior. Much of the defenders playing here are slow as hell and have no ability at all. In the premiership he'd be coming up against proper athletes. It's not about how deep you defend, it's about how well you do it. Strikers in the premiership have to actually really work to win the ball. It's not like at Ibrox against sides like Kilmarnock where he can basically just sit in the box and get countless chances. It's no surprise that there's hardly any interest coming from the premiership. If Boyd had any technical ability, sides like Tottenham, Everton etc would be all over him given his goal record. The fact that Boyd scores the vast majority of his goals at home to the bottom 6 is very relevant. There's far better strikers than Boyd who struggle to hit double figures in the premiership. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the EPL goals this morning and watch most of the games and i agree they are fitter and better quality but Boyd is most of the time sharp in the box, you don't have to be an athlete to score goals just the right place at the right time which once down there he would be after he got used to it IMO. I do disagree about the more defensive approach, even Bolton looked good going forward against City yesterday and IMO he would've scored if he was playing in that match. we're not going to agree you dislike boyd fair enough but seeing as he's not had a chance in a better league to totally write him off seems a bit silly to me........ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
