Hull City: No move yet, but Steve Bruce monitors George Boyd
STEVE Bruce intends to monitor the future of Peterborough playmaker George Boyd as the Hull City boss ponders a foray into the emergency loan market.
Although the January transfer deadline passed last week, Football League clubs are again free to trade in 93-day loans from today up until the final week of March.

Steve Bruce is monitoring the future of Peterborough playmaker George Boyd
Bruce has no "immediate plans" to add to his promotion-chasing squad ahead of tomorrow's trip to Brighton, but he refused to rule out a future move.
The attack-minded midfielder, 27, saw a £250,000 deadline day switch to Nottingham Forest collapse on the grounds of a failed eye test and Peterborough will almost certainly depart London Road when his contract expires in June.

City are one of several Championship clubs to have declared their interest in Boyd and may move again following this weekend's action.
"We made an enquiry but that's as far as it has gone up to now," Bruce told the Mail. "He's a good player who is effective in a few positions but he's a Peterborough player."
Asked if he had any plans to go back in for Boyd, he added: "It's a possibility. I've got no immediate plans to use the loan window.
"The opportunity is there if we need to but I've said all along that any player that comes in has to be able to improve us."

“Sad to say you are right BigBillyBilly, it's a pathetic state of affairs when anything approaching humour or a realistic and honest viewpoint receives a deluge of red arrows, so childish. You would think that the entire Red Arrow squadron was flying overhead in Hawk trainers!”

“This schizophrenic site,that can't bear humour and anything other than overt adoration of our players and manager,but are,or have been,a bit equivocal when the owners of the club are the subject for debate.Damn these stoopid arrows! I'll be at the Amex today,strongly fancy us for a win,we were obdurate to a point last week,we can do it again.Sky may not be impressed,but if we sneak another 0-1,I will be.C'mon City!”

“Read this sentence over again....
"The attack-minded midfielder, 27, saw a £250,000 deadline day switch to Nottingham Forest collapse on the grounds of a failed eye test and Peterborough will almost certainly depart London Road when his contract expires in June".

“Crystal Palace are rumoured to be trying to sign Odemwingie on loan, I don't know if he would take a drop in wages to drop into the Championship but he would be a great acquisition. Of course, a London club would be more attractive to him but there's no harm in trying, relying on the midfield to sneak a win won't work every time and our current strikers are striking out!”

"If Boyd is so good, why has he spent most of his career languishing in the lower leagues 1 and 2, not to mention the Conference? Is he a late developer
Maybe he just lacks vision.....”

“Odenwingie...? I thought he was nailed on for Crystal P? Or did this fall through?”

“Think about the playoff dates and therin is the clue to the delay. He's coming, but timing is crucial.”

“Basically what Steve Bruce is saying is that Boyd can stay at Peterboro this weekend and try and help Peterboro beat Leicester City tomorrow which in turn helps Hull City. Expect Boyd to arrive next week is my best guess.”
