His goal scoring record is good, yes, when he is playing in the SPL against generally crap defences and he also gets more chances than most strikers do as he plays for one of the two top sides.

Whenever Rangers are playing in Europe against decent teams, Boyd rarely gets a start (if indeed a game) and it is this sporadic use at International level too that led him to spit the dummy out and claim that he does not want to play for his country again. (insert obvious Scotland joke here. )

Boyd's workrate is non existent and he would be lucky to get a game, never mind a goal in the PL. Moyes knows a player when he sees one, hence why Boyd will not be swapping the Blue of Rangers for the Blue of Everton.

Am I right in thinking he's never scored against Celtic either, or at the very least has a poor record against them?

I have a feeling that you are right in regards to him having never scored against them, but I did not want to suggest that until I was sure. I will check it out.

edit - He has actually scored a massive one goal against Celtic.

Never thought about it either way, just remember seeing it and I could see it happening as Hull City did a similar thing with Campbell.

Did you believe the Manucho thing then?

The Manucho thing is from a youth team player at Hull City. The person who posted about claiming to know about who Hull were signing hadn't actually posted on this site before claiming that, which I found odd. Plus Owen for £5m when he's a free agent come July? Doesn't really make his post believable.

For what it's worth, the Welbeck signing is the most likely to happen of the ones listed.

The 'Greek Tragedy' would be a great signing for Everton.

Whereas a youth player will be in the know I guess?

Anyway like I said I could see the Wellbeck thing happening.

He doesn't need to be in the know, all it takes is for Manucho to talk to him in training.

Which means it's true? It's just another rumour like the one posted earlier.

It doesn't, no, but it has a lot more behind it.
