They gave up 2 late goals for a 3-3 draw.

 

Tyler Boyd wasn't registered as a foreign player by Besiktas for the first half of the season, as there are foreign player restrictions. So while I assume he still gets his wages, he's not eligible to play until Jan 12, 2023. Bad situation for him, the same thing happened to him last season too.

I think Besiktas had tried to transfer him ahead of the season, but Boyd couldn't find a team he liked or wouldn't take a wage cut. So Besiktas might have "punished" him by refusing to register him for the first half of the season.

fun

 

Since he is a free agent now any chance we see him in MLS? Wouldn't be a bad move for him.

 

If he can get it...

I can't see an MLS team paying a lot for him. 28 years old this month, crappy numbers amongst limited playing time in Turkey the past 2+ seasons. There should be some degree of interest among some MLS teams but it'll be a low number.

I curious if tries an Asian league or tries the A-League again.

 

He was definitely a solid MLS-quality attacker the last times I saw him play. If he needs "MLS superstar" wages to come, I can see it being a difficult sell, but if it's just "good MLS starter" wages or a bit more, seems like a reasonable play for a team needing another attacker.

 

With his contract terminated at Besiktas in mid-November, I've heard American winger Tyler Boyd (27 years old, 10 #USMNT caps) has interest from a few MLS teams. There is dialogue but nothing is concrete yet (also interest in Turkey, Mexico. His preference is to play in the USA)

LA bound?

@kbaxter11

Former @USMNT winger Tyler Boyd is reportedly in LA to undergo a physical ahead of a possible signing with the @LAGalaxy The team declined comment

 

He grew up a Galaxy fan living in the area. He's wanted to move to the USA with his new American wife. Seems like a good fit.

 

Funny, I was just thinking about what happened to Boyd. Thanks for the update.

 

I don't think he's a good fit for LAG but we'll see.

 

Take her on a trip, she’d like to go someday
Take her to New York, she’d love to see L.A.
he really wants to come kick it with you
He’s our American Boyd.
