mainstand Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 No, as he may upset the relationship we have with our friends in Turkey. The following is taken from Wikipedia. ''Boyd signed a three-year contract with Turkish Süper Lig club Eskişehirspor on 8 July 2011 Boyd terminated his contract on 19 December 2011 and started legal proceedings against Eskişehirspor claiming he had never been paid during his stay at the club. He had played just 76 minutes of league football for Eskişehirspor'' Ended up winning his case and a £2,4 m payout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergiefootball Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 No way he only scored his goals poaching in a very good rangers team .....he has failed everywhere else .Id rather struggle with the players we have than sign anymore of primadonnas.

NeilSJFC Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 And is Riordan not the third highest scorer in SPL history? The past means **** all, he struggled to get games in Canada Colin Nish is also in top ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slf Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 A proven goalscorer and a penalty box striker who is presently back in Scotland and looking for a Club. Would you take him until the end of the season?? why ?the seasons over.however i would take him to clean the toilets until seasons end then put him on the dole.

ryangordon86 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Anyway, it's a non starter. There would be an extra 0 between what we can offer and what he'd want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazm Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 No Way Send him to Sevco, he can be pish there like Sandaza and get paid shedloads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Sandaza at sevco has been laughably bad. Can't fathom it at all. His attitude aside, his skill is not in doubt. I reckon Boyd will end up alongside him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 No. Great goalscorer in his day but surely another high earner is the last thing we need at a time when the club should be trying to cut costs. Our squad is big enough and we have more than enough attacking players already. The transfer window's over now and it's time for the manager to concentrate on getting the best out of what he has.

ryangordon86 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Would have been a great shout prior to the whole Beattie shambles. Once bitten twice shy. Think he would get a bigger club than ourselves. Logic as sensible as those not wanting another foreign Scotland manager because Berti wasn't a huge success. Don't see what Beattie's failed spell here has to do with Boyd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.stromso Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I'd take him any day of the week, except I think the finances might be too much. I can't see the harm in a deal until the end of the season though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancientsaint Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Maybe one of the "Business" community would sign him on behalf of saints for at least a year -and if someone else wants to bid after that then the "Business" can recoup their money....Some Guy did that for Dundee ( gary Harkins) Over to YOU - Mr Rich dude !!

Kilgour Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 IF he was able to command top dollar he would already have a club...however would I want him to join with our misfiring strikers..probably yes if affordable.

mad saints fan Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Wouldn't say no, but we don't stand a chance in getting him. Isn't he training with Rangers until he gets a club in England? think he was on Sky Sports the other week looking for a bottom half Championship club or at least League 1.

PerthSeany Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 we cant afford the squad we have at the moment never mind signing someone who would want 1k a week possibly a lot more than that! He was also on TV the other week saying he had "unfinished business in england" thats where he will end up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also on TV the other week saying he had "unfinished business in england" thats where he will end up. While things might have not quite gone well for him over the past 2-3 years. 1k? :laugh: Dream on, the MINIMUM you'd have to pay for Boyd would be in the region of £10k, more likely nearer 15K. He turned down Rangers offer and a big money offer of 50k a week from a Turkish side when he joined 'Boro. Fair enough, things didn't work out at Middlesborough but Strachan signed a lot of new players at once and none of them really performed that season. He played 76 mins for ESES as the manager that signed him was sacked before the 1st league game, where he was rumoured to be on 40k a week.

Barty1884 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 In theory, assuming we could persuade him to join he would be a cracking signing. That said however, he's clearly a lazy git who will put the ball in the back of the net given half a chance, but won't make the chances for himself... I haven't seen much of our performances this season, but reading reports it doesn't sound like we're creating an abundance of chances (a few games aside). Ultimately, if we could afford him & persuade him to join, he'd stand as far up the pitch at every available opportunity.....and do sod all.

We have regularly been creating a huge amount of chances but are simply failing to put the ball in the back of the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know, sometimes hard to get a feel for whether we've been creating chances from the reports. Perhaps he would be a cracking signing...
