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.

Did you believe the Manucho thing then?

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.

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