RamNut Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Could imagine this being part of a player exchange deal for Tom Ince. i saw him play tor peterboro at Lincoln years ago and assumed the 'white Pele' tag was a tongue in cheek piisstake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Didn't people say Nugent was in decline? Nugent changed people's minds, so I don't see why Boyd couldn't. Probably an upgrade on Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Ennui Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Another Anya, very little goal threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stedcfc Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Don't have a problem with Boyd specifically but in general we have too many players over the age of 30 so wouldn't be keen on seeing him come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I think Stevie Wonder has more chance of seeing Christmas than we have of signing George Boyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 If we get rid of Ince and replace him with Boyd then just wow. Won't be happy with that. Boyd would be a good squad player, but I hoped we would move on from 30+ year old frees, especially after what Rowett said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it made no sense given that he is perfectly fine, but it scratched my itch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thierry Ennui Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Ince guarantees you 15 goals a season. Boyd has never hit double figures at Championship level or above. It weakens us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 You have to question a motivation of a player leaving a PL team to join a 9th place Champ team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Meh. I can see why, I can see how he would work... if I were manager I wouldn't, not swashbuckling enough for me. But alas, Forza Rowett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 39 appearances this season for Burnley, only ONE assist and TWO goals in over 3,000mins of football, (he only has 5 assists TOTAL from over 100 Premier league appearances) yes he's a grafter but he'll be 32 this year and are we not after some sort of production for the wages we'll be offering?

It's horses for courses. We're not in the Premier League. At this level, he has been involved in teams that do well. He was a key part in Hull and Burnley getting promotion to the Premier League and was outstanding at Peterborough, when they were in our division. (That's when I first noticed him and thought he looked worth a punt.) Plus I always remember him as a creative player, rather than a grafter.

Sparkle Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Let's just see who goes and who comes in. maybe Blackman goes and Boyd comes in? - would that be better? Based on what we have seen of Blackman then surely it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I wouldn't go losing sleep over George Boyd, Rowett has said he doesn't want 30 somethings dropping down from the Prem looking for one last contract. I trust him, it would be a right kick in the teeth if his first signing is a 30 something dropping down from the premiership about to sign his last contract.

Manicsheepreacher Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Loved him at Peterborough. He would probably make their all time best XI. His whole style and demeanour is a real throw back to the 70s. Cool fella, would be a popular player. Big thumbs up from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Maybe he's a replacement for Blackman , Weimann and Camara rather than Thomas Ince... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
