Numbers, its not just money, its weight of numbers, just way too many bodies to give the proper attention and coaching Same here. Ian Black had the same glint in his eyes. Unrelated to any of that, I wonder if we've made any enquiries about Graham Shinnie. I'd take him, especially if Haring isn't looking likely to return any time soon.

jambonian Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 15 minutes ago, Hearts007 said: The striker netted his 14th goal of the season in the Brewers’ 1-0 win over MK Dons, with Clough telling Sky Sports that it may have been his final outing at the Pirelli Stadum. With Burton out of action for ten days, there is a chance a deal for the Northern Irish international could be sealed in the interim – with Hearts believed to be rivalling Sunderland for his signature. Clough revealed at the weekend that the club has knocked-back a bid for Boyce from an unnamed club but reports have suggested that a fee of £250,000 could clinch a deal. The un-named club may well be us. If Sunderland and Hearts want him, Sunderland he will go. Wages are a big issue. We paid more than we should've for Wighton, didn't take the chance to get Shankland in so Boyce seems the natural choice, eye for goal, pretty much a penalty box player like Robertson was. If £250.000 is the going rate then we have to spend it. Going down will cost a lot more overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 We definitely need Boyce. He's at his peak. Proven goalscorer. 250k is a bargain. We'll not find another tried & tested striker for 250k. It's an absolute must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDevriesScores4 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 £250k for Boyce, if true, is an investment we should be making in my opinion. When you think of the players we’ve shelled out for that price (reportedly Wighton), this would surely make sense? Could be the difference between relegation and staying in the division. He’s tried and tested. Unlike Wighton was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Magic Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Why don’t the moderation team create an account. A rumour account. Anyone ITK. Claiming to be ITK or otherwise can confidentially PM their ITK to that account. The mod controlled “rumour” account can then post it on the transfer thread? I think it would save a lot of work in the long run. If the ITK rumour was correct the mods can pm that person asking if they want to be named as the person ITK or if they wish to remain anonymous. I appreciate more than 1 person may have heard the same name cropping up. In that instance any kudos should go to however came up with the name first should they sign. When announcing ITK rumours the “rumour” account could say it’s been added by more than 1 person so is more likely than just the one. Thoughts?

For the people bothered about rumours or perceived bullshit itk, why not just stay off the transfer thread. When we actually sign someone there will be a thread in their name within minutes. FWIW I don’t think the mainstream media is any better informed than a few posters on here. Some of it is shite and some of it isn’t, it’s the same for any other clubs transfer threads.

Four faces Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 If we are in for Boyce then we need to push the boat out imo.Even 350,000 for a proven goalscorer is a bargain.We should also offer attractive wages too.Boyce would often turn narrow defeats into draws and draws into wins and these players can pay for themselves over time.I'd be happy if he was our only signing this window.

If there is "blood" on anyones hands, it is Levein. He's royally fecked up. Ironically, had he gone in the summer, we wouldn't have Stendel in as manager, as he wasn't available then. So perhaps that is a slight silver lining to the cloud that is over us. I should have said, unintentionally orchestrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartley10 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 If we got Milosevic, Thiam, Boyce and a central midfielder it would be a good window. Pereira/Zlamal Smith/Clare/Brandon Halkett/Souttar Milosovic/Dikamona Hickey/Garrucio Smith/Damour Irving/C. Smith Bozanic/Cochrane Naismith/Meshino Washington/Boyce Thiam/Walker Keep: McDonald, Morrison, Uche, Henderson. Punt: Doyle, Berra, White, Mulraney, Wighton, MacLean. Would still leave us pretty light in central midfield. I would like a new goalkeeper but we should survive with what we have. I make it a minimum of 4 signings needed but possibly 5 or 6 if he wants an extra midfielder and a goalkeeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julienbrellier Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 If we can get Boyce for 250k it is an absolute no-brainer. We can sell him for more if we need to. Good investment, striker at his peak. Another one we should be busting a gut to bring in is Craig Gordon. If he is number 3 at Celtic which I believe he is now, I would make an enquiry about him. We are zero threat to Celtic at the moment, and I can see them being positive in terms of helping Gordon get the move he wants which is rumoured is back to us. He will want to move now as well to get back in the loop for Scotland selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
