    Thread with an opinion

    The Mirror says we are looking at George Boyd

    I would say on a free would be not a bad signing but...........
    Would you give him a three year contract though, and his wages would be at our top end

    I thought he had inconclusive eyes or something when he didnt sign for Forest a few years back?

    Always looked decent in the highlights eddy, but they can be misleading and he's on his way to 32 now. Might be being unfair but I do wonder if he might just be looking for his last big pay day.

    If Man Utd got Zlatan on a free transfer from PSG which was their best bit of business they did with the season just now gone, then surely we can get Boyd under the same situation to help us achieve something big next season.

    He doesnt exactly set my heart racing but often beggars cant be choosers. Sounds like a typical end of career signing - will cut a good deal on wages, maybe get on a freebie but then he will fade away after a couple of months, having fill his pension pot up.

    Steve Bruce wants to bring him to Aston Villa as he has always been a big admirer of him, wouldn't surprise me if he ends up there after he played under him at Hull City.

    He works incredibly hard and has always been a consistent performer, especially in this league, gets goals and assists. Sounds like a Rowett sort of signing. Regarding his age, realistically, we only need one good year out of him.....

    I don't really rate him, comes across a bit like Bradley Johnson, not sure we need another. BUT, we do need a new approach, and so will give whoever Rowett brings in support from the start.

    Steve Bruce wants every player we take an interest in! Weird but true?
