    Rumours he could be on his way in, thoughts?

    We've had the same rumour.

    I wouldn't want him, if the rumours of Gallagher going to Ipswich are true then I'd have him as a squad player but I don't rate him that highly.

    Other people seem to rate him highly but he's always seemed a bit of a poor man's Robert Snodgrass to me, and the hair...

    Boyd is over rated. He failed when he was at Forest the other year

    He hasnt been that good this year. Grant McCann and Paul Taylor have been better for them

    He's the centre of their attacks though.

    8 goals isn't good enough.

    Plays wide left, better than Pugh by the looks of it, would be an improvement and that is all we can ask

    Lets just check here - he would be an improvement on both sides! I can't think of a winger in your lineup who has smashed 8 goals in? Only person i can think who may is gally? and hes scored a few pens

    If he was to be on the left or just behind rosco with snoddy wide right! I'd like to think he'd make a massive improvement

    Gallagher got 10, Ben Marshall got 9 (5 for Wednesday and 4 for us)

    Boyd isnt good enough for a team wanting to challenge top 6 and further.

    Adrian Durham has tweeted that the deal from Boyd to Leeds isn't a 100% yet

    Well it wouldn't be if you support Leicester, if it was the same player and a £2 million fee you would all be pissing your pants with excitement.

    BBC Cambs reporting he's out of our price range. Now isn't that a surprise? <whistle>

    He's more of a luxury player if you listen to Durham talk about him. He's one of those that does nothing for 89 minutes and then pops up with the goods.

    Depends if NW has space for such a player, personally I'd be suprised.

    Nope. We are building a squad capable of doing it, not relying on one or 2 players like Leeds.

    I wonder what they are asking for him then.. Remember Warnock will have a number of targets, if he has 2-3 players who he feels are fairly equal he will go for the cheapest, different with Pearce he was top of Neils shopping list. So much going around at the moment and rumours flying left right and center I still feel give it time and see who else actually puts pen to paper before we judge.
