54andcounting 0 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Kris Boyd, Portland Timbers: Portland scored 34 goals in 2012, second-worst in the league and its 10 away goals tied for worst in MLS. Defensively, the Timbers conceded 56 goals, third-worst in MLS and the 35 goals allowed on the road was second-worst. Here's what they had to say of Boydy. The status of striker Kris Boyd is just one of many personnel issues the team must resolve before the players return for pre-season training in January. The designated player, brought in by Spencer, scored just seven goals during the season and was benched in favor of Bright Dike after Wilkinson revamped the team's formation in August. Boyd, who was paid $1.5 million in 2012, started nearly all of the games until he was benched in the game at New York August 19. He was inserted into the starting 11 at San Jose Sept. 19, but suffered an adductor injury - some in the organization whispered that the injury confirmed what others suspected, that Boyd wasn't fit all season - and missed the final five games of the season. The 29-year-old Boyd has vowed to work hard during the off season to regain his starting position. No surprises there then. Steven Smith also plays for them. http://www.oregonlive.com/timbers/index.ssf/2012/10/portland_timbers_2012_season_w.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 A certain former owner of our club, once said that very few players have ever left Rangers and gone on to better themselves. Van Bronkhurst certainly was one, Jelavic and Naismith look like being others; Charlie Adam is arguable I guess. Kris Boyd and Hutton are classic examples of a miss as will be so many of the others mentioned in this chain. Of course the current circumstances are unique but the grass is always greener, I think not...... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,290 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Alan Hutton? Welcome to 2008. He's a terrible footballer. By the way, Jeremy Beadle is dead. Whatever that insight might tell us ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 van Bronckhurst and Gattuso...are they the only 'Gers to leave and go on to win top prizes? The reason I didn't mention Gattuso was because it was always known that we only had him on loan and that he would go back to Milan. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
