I feel like Boyd has been hyped beyond all recognition. He was chucked in the first team very early but still had a couple of seasons to stake a claim. He looked decent but didn't deliver many goals or assists for someone playing as a forward. He scored 2 off the bench in one game and a flurry in a couple of ASBP games  but he's not done that since in Portugal so it's safe to say that was just a really hot streak rather than a sign of his actual level. Yet people still seem to talk about him like he's a great untapped talent.

I'd rather we just gave Parkhouse and Rogerson more game time and maybe gave Fenton chance to come back as a winger than spending money on getting Boyd back.

Boyd scored a goal every 31min in his last season in the HAL. A goal or assist every 206min - as a teenager for all but 30min of HAL career is not that bad. Better player than Parkhouse.

Yeah but Parkouse was played at LB for almost the whole season whereas Boyd was part of a front two with Stein. So not comparable. I already said Boyd scored 2 goals off the bench before he left and given he only played. 62 minutes that season a goal every half an hour is nowhere near as impressive as it sounds. It just reflects one good game in a tiny sample. It also means he only scored twice in 46 other games for the Nix. As a forward.
