I am a Banana 0 Posted March 8, 2011 Whilst they were showing the Peterborough goals Barry fry said they had a £2m bid during January for chris Boyd, he didnt say which team(s) or give any details apart from the price.Could this have been us? I believe that the £2m was given to lambert before it was made public by MF! Boyd knows where the goal is and does seem like he would have met our needs...?P.s. I''m sure it was Boyd that Barry fry said and no mackail smith! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted March 8, 2011 1) Foulger put 2m into the player budget - which covers fee and wages so we probably have less than 2m to spend2) Some of that 2m was probably spent on securing Lansbury for the rest of the season, and potentially on bringing Barnett in.3) Barry Fry talks a lot of rubbish, don''t believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted March 8, 2011 If Barry Fry had been bid £2M for Boyd he would have bitten the persons hand off - he is not worth a third of that. As previous poster said the man is a publicity mad loon and you cannot take more than 10% of what he says seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I seem to remember Ian Holloway saying he enquired about Boyd (in case Charlie Adam left I guess) in January and he was absolutely staggered by what Peterborough were holding out for. So maybe there is something in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted March 8, 2011 Blackpool had a bid rejected for Boyd in January. They also wanted Craig Mackal-Smith (or however you spell his name), and were quoted £4m for them both.Blackpool refused to take them up on this offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gerry Harrison 2 Posted March 8, 2011 Maybe he meant Kris Boyd, who today joined Nottingham Forest on loan from Middlesbrough. Not sure what that''s got to do with Barry Fry though!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry 0 Posted March 8, 2011 I''m pretty sure he said his Chairman(Darragh MacAnthony) turned down £2m for George Boyd but he himself would have sold him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Bump 0 Posted March 8, 2011 He also mentioned about turning down a club wanting Joe Lewis despite them offering a £500,000 loan fee which I found interesting.. damn you Roeder! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
