Jon 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Sorry but I still think it's criminal and unacceptable if Boyd is allowed to leave..... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Sorry but I still think it's criminal and unacceptable if Boyd is allowed to leave..... I would tend to agree that if our problem last season was lack of goal-scoring then we need to look for someone who will COMPLEMENT Boyd in a 4-4-2 OR get true wingers to play the wide roles in a 4-5-1/4-3-3 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 You are right, it was a combination - when we went at teams with high tempo last season we seemed to have much more success - but more often than not we didnt do that and gave the other team confidence. Ha ! No way would we get Sneijder, would be nice though. Although..... if you believe all you read then the Tims are signing Seedorf, Podolski etc etc Midfield three ----------Sneijder-------Deco----------VanderVaart Upfront-----------------Robben--------Miller---------Podolski That would work! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we don't expect him to match Boyd goal for goal and as long as Smith does't use him as a lone striker, he could be decent signing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Totally agree we need an attack minded midfielder. RB is not a worry if you take Whittaker, Broadfoot and Lowing. Then again if we are going to punt the ball why do we need a midfield anyway. Hah I've sussed it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that Juff and think it's what Craig has mentioned too. The worrying thing is the other strikers we are signing/linked with. Where does that leave Boyd? KM is signed for �£1.9m......from wat I've read, the likeliehood is Boyd being sold for �£2.5m How can that be right? Boyd will guarantee 25+ a season even being used sparingly off the bench! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Robben and Podolski are both better suited on the left - perhaps Ribery or Ronaldhino on the right ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I don't think Lafferty is being signed as a striker. Now, never having seen the boy play I could be well wide of the mark, but I have a Lee McCulloch feeling about this lad. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 745 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I don't think Lafferty is being signed as a striker. Now, never having seen the boy play I could be well wide of the mark, but I have a Lee McCulloch feeling about this lad. Agree with that - he may start ok but wont be the finished article. Id rather 3.25 million spent on a midfielder who can skip past a player. Again il reserve judgement until ive seen the guy but its a depressing signing. I think Velicka and Miller are good signings as they will play regularly - something JCD or Boyd havent done. I think we just need to pay Feyenoord 400k for Buffel and keep him. That actually sounds a bargain when you think of our transfer budget and how much it will cost us to get a player with his ability. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
