George Boyd: Peterborough midfielder could be heading to Crystal Palace


Crystal Palace have agreed a deal with Peterborough for the transfer of midfielder George Boyd.

Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony revealed the news on his official Twitter account and Boyd will now discuss personal terms with Palace.
MacAnthony tweeted: "We have agreed terms with Crystal Palace for the transfer of George Boyd tonight. The player will now talk terms with Palace.
"It's obviously sad news for us at Posh but we couldn't turn this opportunity down for the player.
"Many clubs have made bids which in truth were verging on taking the mick, however CP have backed their manager & met our terms today.
"George has been a Palace fan all his life & now has chance if he joins them to help them get promoted to Premier League."
Boyd, 27, joined Peterborough from Stevenage for £260,000 in January 2007 and has since made almost 300 appearances for the club.

Shame he could have done a good job here. :ayatollah:

Good luck to him at Palace.

I don't think we would need him if I'm honest. Whitts, Kimbo and Mutch can all play in his position and he doesn't hold a torch to Whitts or Kimbo, and we definitely haven't seen the best of Mutch yet.

Darragh MacAnthony is the prime example of putting shit in a nice suit and it still being shit. I wouldn't even want to hazard a guess as to what he has done to get his money.
