Jon 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 You say your not desperate to get rid of him and you call me pro Boyd (rightly) but you are so anti Boyd it is untrue mate 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'd want a lot more than 3m for the SPL's top scorer when Shagger is being touted at 5m and a very poor Fergie at 2-3m I think you have to be realistic Jon, Boyd is not that good a player. He is not going to score that many in the EPL. They don't pay 5 mill for Championship players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 How do you know that Pete? Fair enough 'only' the SPL but he has been top scorer every season for us even when played sparingly. The quality in the EPL is better meaning he would get better service and surely he has proved given the ball and right service he will score goals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 In the 05/06 season, despite the upset of changing club half way through, Boyd scored 32 SPL goals... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he would score a few but i am afraid his other skills will let him down. if he does not score he has no worth to the team and that is not permissible in the EPL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 But he would do better than a few in the EPL at the moment IMO Seems to me the EPL are only interested in signing keepers or defenders from the SPL though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Last time I looked into this comparison (a few weeks back) Boydy had a better goal to games ratio than strikers in the EPL that are worth 30-80 million. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Of course I'm not saying he's a Torres, Drogba or Ronaldo. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 They do play at a far higher lever though, without question. BUT who says IF a 'good' team came in for him and gave him the chances he wouldn't score? I'll never pretend he's a Drogba or Heskey who can hold the ball up with the best in the business or the proliffic scoring of Ronaldo or Torres, but he would score his share IMO 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
