ian1964 10,457 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 What the Birmingham punters are saying. http://www.birminghammail.net/birmingham-sport/birmingham-city-fc/birmingham-city-fc-news/2010/01/05/birmingham-city-fans-have-their-say-on-kris-boyd-97319-25527856/ Nothing new there,that could be a Rangers forum,all the comments we have heard on here. I suppose no-one will know if he can cut it in the EPL until he goes and try,hopefully he'll still be a Rangers player for a good few seasons more 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabashcannonball 0 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 I sincerely hope that the ones who say they neither want nor need him are proven correct, and he stays at Ibrox, McLeish's enigmatic statement is something else though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Typical ignorant arrogance from the English. It may "only" be the SPL but there are plenty of so called decent EPL strikers who have failed there and plenty who have come from the SPL with a far worse record than Boyd and done well in the EPL. How about that �£8M Jeffers or Ostenstaad on the one hand and Bellamy on the other? Hartson and Sutton (most expensive player in England at one point) did reasonably well in the SPL but nowhere near as well as Boyd. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,457 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 We keep being told by WS/Rangers that we don't need to sell any players in January,IMO it would make sense to keep all our players so we can attempt to retain the SPL and therefore get the CL money which is far more than we could get by selling any of our players ?, even if that means losing players for nothing at he end of the season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,186 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'd prefer we didn't lose any players but neither can we afford to have five highly paid central midfielders (Davis, Mendes, McCulloch, Edu and Thomson). 5 into 2 doesn't go and as much as I want to retain a strong squad, if we're to lose anyone then Mendes could be a player we could afford to let go (if Thomson and Edu can prove their fitness over the next month). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we afford to lose any of our players just now ?,it's ok saying when they are all fit they all can't play,but are they all going to stay fit for the remainder of the season ?. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I'd prefer we kept everyone but if we're realistic then that is doubtful. It could be argued that considering the length injuries to the likes of Thomson, Edu and Mendes we have benifitted from having the surplus players but if it comes to paying for a new wage for Boyd and keeping one of Mendes, McCulloch or Thomson; then I'd rather we sold. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
