All time record in the SPL speaks volumes for me, especially given the fact he is only 26.
And if he scores 5 goals against Europe's 'diddy teams' in Scotland colours then I'll be happy.
Let me finish this statement for you.
.. we need the highest quality players dispensable to us. We simply cannot afford to ignore the scoring exploits of someone like Boyd, when we are struggling to compete with the likes of Norway, Georgia and Wales.
If we are to progress as a nation then we need the best players we have playing.
You need to take off your tri-colored spectacles if you would rather see Iwelumo in Scotland colours ahead of Boyd.
Off topic however, but I don't think Ferguson and MacGregor should be playing for Scotland again.
Its funny, you mention Norway like they are a diddy team. Something they are not. Norway are a good side. I think we have a habbit in this country. A bad habbit. One good run in a qualifiying campaign and suddenly we are world beaters? No, we need to remember our place. We are not *****, but i think we just had a really good period to get to 13th in the world rankings.
When Boyd proves himself at a higher level than the SPL, then i might cosider him a decent footballer. But currently, he is scoring against League 2 level sides. Celtic are a top quarter Championship team. Yet he can't even score against them. Sums it up for me.
Scotland strike force of.................. McFadden----------Fletcher----------McCormack.
But Fletcher has scored a few in the EPL. Something Boyd wouldn't do.
