George Boyd could be signing

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Will be interesting to see how Boyd gets on at Ipswich, his form hasn't been anything special of late.

Boyd would have been a useful option for us but not sure how he would fit in with Crofts, Vicente, Bridders and our wide players. Maybe he would be a Harley-esque CM player on the bench (only better) or to cover Vicente? Personally I prefer having Crofts to give more bite in midfield and is just as likely to score goals.

Found out from a source that George Boyd was at the Amex one day last week having talks with the club , this could be our midfielder we've been waiting for been talked about quite a lot by others on NSC in previous months would be good signing

Well my source didn't come up trumps with that one then that's the last time I listen to a person that dresses up as a seagull

He could've been right mate u never know. I think there's something in a lot of the rumours we hear on here but the majority don't come off... (Beckford etc)

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Pity but have to admit not sure where he would fit in with us. His position is not one we are dying for right now

I wouldn't trust Paul Jewells judgement further than I could throw him and he is a big lump and I am very unfit.

Over rated luxury player. Taylor is the better signing of the two for Ipswich.

According to my Peterborough supporting friend, Boyd was dreadful last season but so far this season has been playing really well. He thinks his upturn in form has coincided with a desire to get a move. That sounds familiar...

If they're selling Taylor as well this seems to pretty much guarantee their relegation.

Their supporters are already resigned to it-pretty sad considering the season is only 3 league games old. Sub 6000 crowds looming, losing your key players, no points and only CPFC's inferior goal difference keeping them off the bottom, not a good time to be a Peterborough fan.

Well, with your bad knee mEd, you shouldn't throw anybody... It's true.

Can't feel too sorry for them with McAnthony and Ferguson running things. It seems McAnthony is not putting so much money in any more and when that happened they were never going to be able to compete in this league.

Absolutely. I heard on VERY good authority that a player himself - oh what the hell, Aaron McLean - was openly saying that he expected to be joining Brighton this summer, yet it never happened.

You can hear things that are accurate, that ARE peoples expectations, even people as close to the story as the player himself, and yet for one reason or another (in this case "personal terms") it just doesn't happen.

George boyd and paul taylor are going to Ipswich according to sky sports news

Personally I prefer having Crofts to give more bite in midfield and is just as likely to score goals.

Boyd's goals to games ratio (0.26) is near TRIPLE that of Crofts (0.09).

Please can we put to bed this myth that Crofts is a "goal-scoring midfielder"?

Heard an interview with their Chairman a while ago. He specifically said he didn't want to end up in the same situation as Simon Jordan. So unless they get new owners or lots of cash, they must be hot favourites for relegation.

If you read my post more carefully you will spot that a) I prefer Crofts for his midfield bite and b) Boyd's form hasn't been that special so Crofts is just as likely to score as many goals.......both points are valid.
