stumigoo Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Why anybody wouldn't want a proven goalscorer in the team is beyond me. Regardless of your feelings towards Boyd as a person (mainly due to him playing for the old Rangers) he is a fantastic goalscorer, is still in his prime and is the all time leading scorer in the current Preimier league/SPL era. I don't think for a second he will actually sign with us though, and I fear he will go to Aberdeen which will further cement their place as 'the second team in Scotland' for another season.

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Is Dale Hilson any good? Apparently we've invited him to join us for pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hilson to score winner against United in Scottish Cup final 2020. YSYM, unfulfilled potential, just never kicked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Apparently Boyd was on Central FM last night and said both United and Aberdeen had offered him a contract and that he'll make his mind up shortly. I'd love him at the Dandies but have a feeling he'll seen for you lot purely because it's an hour closer to Ayrshire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFARAB82 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 was good couple years back in the reserves scored a barrel load but never really pushed on (either in training/U20's or out on loan) and made it impossible for either Houstie or jackie not to call him up and use him. To be fair to the lad hes probably not good enough at this level but i could see him being decent for a championship club, he is a player United wont miss but at the same time would wish the best wherever he goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry94 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Falkirk, Hibs and Hearts are supposedly looking at Hilson too. We should sign him and make him the next Aaron Conway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that we have the geographical advantage on Aberdeen, but I'd imagine he'd rather be at a club in the west. Why are the Undead not in for him?

He said he wanted to be at a club who are winning things. That's unlikely to be The Rangers for some time. Also, they've probably had their fill of twilighters with Kenneth Miller esq, though it's hard to tell with McCoist's 'Zimmers n Bunnets' squad building.Wondering what length of contract we'd be offering. He'd probably want 3 for security, we'd probably be looking at 2...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
