Guest Flying Hippo Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 They've just been promoted to the EPL, they can afford way more than 18k per week. They're not going to cripple themselves financially just because they've got promoted. They're a much smaller club than Burnley, for example, and Burnley's biggest signing after promotion was from Hibernian In fact, for them to sign Boyd, they'd have to offer more than �£30,000 as Birmingham have already offered him that and why on earth would he join Blackpool over Birmingham 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Blackpool will be looking at our players imo. Mainly out of contract ones or ones that will be available for a small fee ( or they think are small fees and we don't). Blackpool won't cripple themselves, Holloway was practically saying that if he gets good money for his players he will sell. Tbh that seems to me that if Adam got a good fee them they will sell, �£4m plus imo. They won't be spending anything more than �£2.5m on a player. I hate how the game is touted as �£90m, that is what they will make and our whole league won't make that in 5 years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flying Hippo Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 They'll possibly be after the likes of Broadfoot or Stevie Smith but Boyd is way out of their league when bigger clubs have already offered him �£30,000 a week If it was a choice between us and Blackpool, he'd stay here We shouldn't believe that just because Charlie Adam joined them, that suddenly all our players would see Blackpool as a step up from Rangers. Adam didn't want to go but was forced out after being told we needed the money and that he wouldn't get a game for us 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

H1ndy 0 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 hahahah boyd for celtic in today scottish sun CELTIC have thrown their full financial muscle behind an astonishing bid to land Rangers idol Kris Boyd. Hoops chiefs will match the �£30,000 a week on offer from Birmingham City gaffer Alex McLeish. Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell is ready to splash out a �£1million signing-on fee to persuade Boyd to turn his back on Gers and sign for their biggest rivals. Lawwell has been in touch with the player's camp over the last week and has refused to let his pursuit of prolific striker Boyd drop. Now the 26-year-old hitman will today return from a family holiday in Tenerife with his mind in a whirl over his football future. Rangers goal machine Boyd is fully aware of the repercussions of agreeing to swap the Light Blues for the Hoops. It's the most important move of his career and every option must be pondered. Boyd, who scored 26 goals for the SPL champs last season, is available on a free transfer. If Celtic supremo Lawwell pulls off the daring cloak and dagger swoop with the full backing of caretaker boss Neil Lennon it would be the most sensational Old Firm transfer since Mo Johnston snubbed the Hoops and joined Gers instead in 1989. Back then Graeme Souness smashed down the religious barrier and landed Rangers' first high-profile Catholic signing. Now, 21 years on, Celtic's driven desire to halt Gers' title march at two-in- a-row sees them pursuing Boyd in the knowledge that his capture would be a massive bodyblow to the skint champions. Boyd has felt undervalued at Gers in recent seasons as the salary packages dished out to stars like both Steven Davis and Pedro Mendes dwarfed those of the man who broke Celtic icon Henrik Larsson's SPL scoring record. He cut a forlorn figure at the Ibrox title party after the win at Hibs following another devastating demotion to the bench. Now, as he sifts through offers from Turks Kayserispor and the Premier League - with Newcastle United high on the list of moves he'd crave if he has to go - Boyd has been given a chance to take the most astonishing path out of Ibrox of all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flying Hippo Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Although there's no way Boyd would leave us to go directly to Celtic, it wouldn't surprise me if it happened in the future if his next move doesn't work out 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't Danny Wilson. Do you think all our players that leave in the summer will eventually end up playing for them? Seems a rather silly suggestion to say the least. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
