    Strange place to go

    Kris Boyd has signed a 2 year deal to be with his old pals from Celtic. strange he has signed for 'Boro and not taken the big bucks deal with Shota, and also knocked back the move to Brum. this reeks of 'wants to be a big fish in a wee pond' to me, surely 'Boro could not offer higher wages than Brum.

    Fair point. Middlesborough isn't great either.

    Nearby Yarm is lovely though.

    Surely you would want to test yourself at the highest level possible? Of the 3 options that would mean B'ham and EPL. But no he opts for testing himself v Doncaster, Coventry and the likes. Very strange.

    Obviously doesn't have much ambition.

    Although i honestly think if he signed for a team like Bolton or Birmingham he'd score about 5 goals a season.

    Or maybe he just enjoys playing football and scoring goals and he knows he won't get the chance to do much of that in the premiership

    Fat hun bassa or not i think it's commendable to not just go where the money is

    With the money he apparantly makes away from football i'm not surprised he turned down a move to Turkey.

    whens that ever stopped a footballer before?

    If he'd joined a big team he'd be getting slated for being happy to go and pick up his wages for sitting on the bench, i'm no fan of him at all by any stretch of the imagination but he doesn't deserve stick for choosing to join a team for less money at a lower level where he's got a better chance of playing and scoring every week.

    Why is Boyd a big fish?..... He couldn't get a game for Rangers, playing in a poor league. I think he is the most over rated player in recent time's. I cant understand the clamber to get his signature and the wages he has been offered is ludicrous. I'll give him 6 months and he will be greetin to get back up the road.

    Maybe he's just chosen to go to a team with a better chance of winning silverware and getting regular football.

    If he's a hit in the Championship, then he'll get a chance to show what he can do in the EPL whether its by promotion or another team showing interest.

    Surely the shunning of George Burley and Scotland did not stem from his own lack of belief in his ability? Very surprising that he should choose Boro IF there were EPL offers on the table. Perhaps he would rather be a big fish in a small pond.

    You're almost there. Chris's elder sister was in the same year as Rob Jones at Conyers School which is indeed in Yarm. Re: their respective home towns, Jones is from Stockton, whereas Hoggy is a Middlesbrough lad.

    Yeah Yarm is a lovely place, though I did have the misfortune of trying the local cuisine. A chicken parmo, horrible.

    just because birmingham can offer better wages than boro doesnt mean mcleish would have, he seems to be quite canny with the new owners cash. Plus i am certain that he will be on a decent wage at boro. not suprised he chose to knock back th emove to turkey, if he went and didnt settle it could have finished him where as he can float around the championship and make his money for the rest of his career now

    I do chuckle when we wise fans get all self righteous and tut tut about a player's lack of ambition.

    Why is not being ambitious a bad thing, anyway?
