Super_Ally 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 For me Boyd would be on a list of players who we must not sell. Not because they are irreplaceable (sp). But because for what they bring to the team at they price they cost (in transfer and wages) and what we could realistically re-coup foor them it would make bad sense for financial and footballing reasons. The list would include: Boyd Mendes Bougherra Ferguson (we will not replace him with better and we will not get a decent fee for him) Davis Thomson (injured anyway) The detriment to our title push without bringing in a replacement of equal/better ability for the same money or less, of letting these players go would be foolhardy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,353 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 S_A, it depends on the fees received. I'd agree that Boyd at �£3.75m (�£3m net) isn't a great deal from a footballing viewpoint. However I'd let any of the players on your list go for �£5m+. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beattie 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Don't we owe a percentage (a small one albeit) of any fee recieved for Boyd to Killie? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CammyF 6,880 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) The detriment to our title push without bringing in a replacement of equal/better ability for the same money or less, of letting these players go would be foolhardy. But surely, this is what we've been doing since AMc took over from DA? We've sold our best players and replaced them with players no where near the required quality. In terms of players, we have been on a downward spiral since DA was 'moved upstairs'. Name one player in todays squad who would have gotten a game in DA's treble winning team (or AM's treble winning team)? EDIT - addition - It is safe to say that all players now bought by Rangers are bought with a view to moving them on and moving them on quickly. This is what we have become, the footballing equivilent of an EBAY trader. Cammy F Edited January 7, 2009 by CammyF 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Your quite right Cammy. BD I did stipulate one of the reasonsI wouldn't sell them is because of the likely fees involved, although perhaps what I had written did not come across as well. Yes for good money sell them, I don't believe we'll see bids of �£5mil or more for any of them, but would happily sell for 3/4mil. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,182 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Don't we owe a percentage (a small one albeit) of any fee recieved for Boyd to Killie? It's not a small one. It is 20% so ~�£700K if we sell for �£3-3.5million. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
