The simple answer is, I don’t know if McDonald or Boyd will be good enough in the Premier League. I’ve seen Boyd live several times, but never McDonald, so I can’t judge.
What I do know is that Boyd is a more prolific scorer than McDonald, and he is also a big lad who can hold the ball up. McDonald is not. He is more of the Kenny Miller ilk, and it’s not the sort of player you’d want to be leading the line. Would you have Owen or Defoe as your single front man?
If we sign him, who would make way? Would we play 4-4-2 with Rodallega and McDonald up front, or if we play with a single target man and two wide men cutting in, do we play McDonald on the left with Rodallega up front? Or McDonald up front (who is smaller, and considerably less of a presence than Rodallega)?
If we didn’t have Rodallega, I think he’d be a great signing. Can’t see us signing him to put on the bench though, so who knows what Martinez’s plan is.
Please don’t get me wrong, I am not criticising Martinez. He knows more than me, and obviously has a plan. I just can’t see us running out the season with the four strikers.

“I watched Arsenal score 4 past Noblot the other night and there was nobody above 5 foot five playing out of the back four.there is a good reason for that Robin van persie 6′ 2″ is injured (but would be first choice in), whilst back up striker Bendtner 6′ 4” is likewise injured. Until this season they had the not so small Adebayor, when they come back Arsenal have the big striker option whereas we may not.
