Kris Boyd/Chedwyn Evans

From BBC Sport:


Middlesbrough striker Kris Boyd is set to fly to Turkey for talks over a move to Eskisehirspor.

The former Rangers striker is expected to fly to Turkey at the end of the week to finalise the move.

Scotland international Boyd signed for Boro in July 2010 and scored six goals before being loaned to Nottingham Forest in March 2011.

Eskisehirspor, founded in 1965, were promoted to the Turkish Super-Lig in 2008.

Boyd began his career at Kilmarnock, where his prolific scoring record earned him a move to boyhood heroes Rangers.

He went on to score 101 SPL goals in 143 appearances for the Ibrox club before moving to Boro after the expiry of his Rangers contract.

The 18-times capped striker has scored seven goals for Scotland, despite making himself unavailable for selection for the national side between October 2008 and November 2009.

Perhaps now Middlesbrough may be making a bid for Chedwina, if they are able to get Boyd's massive wages off their books?

He'll find his scoring boots there. The Turkish league is nearly as bad as SPL.

How can he be the all time top scorer in SPL yet has only scored 7 times for Scotland and 12 in england

I think I could score for Rangers.

Look at Stokes for Celtic.

The rumour a few weeks ago was that Boro wanted Ched but had to offload Boyd first. He was supposed to be going to Forest but the change in manager scuppered that one so it sounds about right to me.

Fingers crossed. Another talentless £1M a yearer off the books please.
