Championship - McLeish not giving up on Boyd

Eurosport - Wed, 14 Jan 15:45:00 2009

Birmingham boss Alex McLeish has not yet given up hope of signing Rangers striker Kris Boyd and said: "I wouldn't rule it out."

FOOTBALL - Kris Boyd, Rangers - 0

McLeish tried to capture the former Kilmarnock player last week for a reported fee of £3.75 million but the deal broke down when personal terms could not be agreed.

Since then, McLeish has sent out mixed messages with regards to the possibility of resurrecting the deal, and the Scotland international's agent described the deal as "dead".

However, the Birmingham manager was quoted in the Daily Record as saying the deal was only a phone call away.

"I wouldn't rule it out," he said. "If there is a deal to be done, watch this space.

"I guess it will take a phone call to make that happen. I only want to bring in someone I am sure of."

  5. WE BOTH KNOW THATS RUBBISH , I LIVE NEXT TO THE GROUND , AND TRUST ME , HE'S COMING , AND THE ONLY FACTOR HERE IS THE MONEY , SCOTTISH OR NOT , DON'T MATTER , McCLEISH HAS CONTACTS AT RANGERS STILL , 3.75 MILLION IS A MASSIVE PROFIT FROM 400K , AND RANGERS CHAIRMAN NEEDS THE CASH , SO BY SELLING THE BEST PLAYERS IS VERY SILLY , BUT IT'S A MONEY GAME , NOTHIN ELSE ,
