Little Boyd blue?

The BBC website's reporting that Toon target Kris Boyd could well be destined for Birmingham. While it's to be hoped that we'll be joining the Blues at the top table come May, at the moment Boyd might see the Premier League's surprise package as a better option.

What's certain, though, is that after two blanks and with Homer having returned to obscurity at Villa, we desperately need to boost our striking options, preferably with someone who's quick and a smart finisher to be a foil for one of the lanky trio Big Lad, Bigger Lad and Nile Ranger. Boyd, who scored five in Rangers' thrashing of Dundee Utd to become the leading scorer in Scottish Premier League history, would probably fit the bill.
