redcherryberry Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 As per newsnow, according to today's Sun we are linked with a 2m move for George Boyd. Must be true, as it's the Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_Lemon Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Rumour is/was that its a 1million deal agreed with David Clarkson heading the other way. But that was when GJ was in charge, so now Im not sure, I would just put it down to speculation mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mosquito Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 As per newsnow, according to today's Sun we are linked with a 2m move for George Boyd. Must be true, as it's the Sun. £2 million sounds like a lot of money for a Div 1 midfielder. Is that now the going rate for a decent Div 1 midfielder ???!!!!

Gazred Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Can't see it, now that DF's back in charge. I agree, could be one of the deals that was mentioned that has stalled due to club not wanting to sell, shame as thats just the type of player we should be going for, although 2m seems a bit steep.

westonred Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Personally I would prefer Mackail-Smith to Boyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcherryberry Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Pboro have always demand allot for their star men. That's why Lewis, Boyd and Craig Mackill-Smith have never moved. Boyd's career has stalled recently and probably needs a permanent move away to get his game going again. I think he had a unsuccessful spell at Forest last year where he barely played. I would still take a punt on him though but not at the 2m fee mentioned. Maybe we can offer 1m plus a pick from many of our League 1 players ie - Nyatanaga, Sproule etc. I hear Blackpool are also interested as a potential replacement for Adam.

GrahamC Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Although I can't see us paying £1million let alone two, I would be amazed if Boyd wasn't on our list of targets as we've been crying out for a naturally left footed winger since McIndoe left. He was lined up to join Forest after having a loan spell there last season but that didn't go through for some reason. No idea about the Clarkson stuff but undoubtedly had GJ stayed there the chances of someone going to Posh in a swap would have been greater.

I agree that Rose aside (where's he?) we're crying out for a left winger but doesn't Boyd usually play in behind or inside right despite being left footed? Has he ever really played a wide left role?

Has he ever really played a wide left role? I think he has played wide left at times for them, though I'd accept he has also been used sort of behind the main striker as well. He always reminded me very much of Walshy, tall, all left footed with not a lot of pace but very effective and a pretty decent goals tally, too. Rose is said to have a back/hamstring injury but it does seem to be dragging on, the cynic in me just wonders if he fancies being with a club nearer to London now that the transfer window is open again. KM is quoted today as saying that he has been pursuing two permanent targets and that offers have been made, based on what he said at the shareholders meeting I assume that they are for a left back and a midfielder, though maybe one to play wide left (Boyd) rather than a central midfielder?

Alex_BCFC Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Isn't this the guy who went on loan to Forest and it was meant to be a permenant deal if things went well? Peterborough seem to have had a lot of good attacking players of late like Mackail-Smith, Mclean etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that as its reported on the thisisbristol website, he quite clearly says that offers are in for 2 players and we need a response from their clubs soon, but on the press talk section of the website it says that we've given up on the permanent transfers and are after loans. Is this bad journalism by the BEP (likely!) or a defensive measure from the club to keep the transfers secret? Personally, i wouldn't be too keen on Boyd; certainly not for £2 million and probably not for £1 million. Hasn't really done it at this level and isn't the kind of player we're currently in need of. Perhaps in the summer for a more reasonable price, but he would appear to be somewhat of a luxury right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it didnt work out for him at 1 club doesnt mean to say it wont at another! I agree with you though, he is a decent player and would improve our current squad for sure!

Danny Haynes, who played a similar mix of wide/central, got 7 in 29 starts. Though I think he's a good player I'd suggest you don't get too carried away.

I swear he got more than 9 league goals? where is your information coming from? maybe he got 15-20 goals in total via cup competitions etc?

westred1 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 He scored 13 goals in all comps last season (P'boro - 9 league, 1 league cup. Forest - 1 league) and that's his second highest total in his career as in 08/09 he got 14 goals in all comps. Good goal scoring record for a midfielder but not a 20 goal a season man by any stretch of the imagination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
