Offload if we can & free up a decent wage for a winger or centre forward An absolute shite bag. Fuck knows how he got his reputation. Weegies are full of shite. 3 1 Link to comment

I think they'd probably want a hefty fee. And he's 31. Does he suit the style Goodwin wants and has been talking about? High energy and high pressing? I don't think he does tbh. Weird signing, if it happens. Boyce has never really been an out and out goalscorer, nor a target man, more of a number 10; an injury prone, ageing, one at that. We already have one of those, Watkins Agree with earlier suggestions that maybe Hearts have enquired about Gallagher and we've said, okay, gie us Boyce. Maybe Hearts want Watkins too? Link to comment

Spoken to a couple of Hearts fans i know and they don't seem to worried (other than the fact they don't want to sell to a rival club), they seem to think moving him on to free up resources to bring someone better and younger in would be a very good thing for them. For that reason, unless he's a back up then its a no from me. If Hearts fans think they can get someone better and younger in then so can we. Link to comment

Neilsen could reunite the Gallagher/Halkett Livvie central defensive duo if Gallagher ended up at Tynie. Have they replaced Souttar yet? Link to comment

Baaaaa heid Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Hopefully not Boyce that would come under the term lazy recruitment, and not in Goodwin range of 24-28 Link to comment

DD1903 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Boyce would be a good signing. Moves off the ball well. Plus he scored 16 last season. Link to comment

Boyce is a good player at this level, and he will score goals in a decent team. I wouldn't be distraught if we signed him - in fact if it was some kind of swap for Gallagher, I'd be delighted.

Ramirez scores the same amount as him last season and are fans went nuts because he couldn’t find the net in the second half of the season, I just think after saying we are casting are net wide but end up with a guy that is the wrong side of 30/31 that knocked us back before he went to Burton is lazy recruitment Link to comment

He won't put arses on seats. I still have to be convinced that 1/ this is actually true and 2/ he fits into Goodwins style of play. Lauritsen and Miovski certainly seem more suitable signings but i guess we'll see. Link to comment
Yerdas Selzavon Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I think the Lauritsen ship may have sailed now unfortunately Link to comment
