Some chat on the Bounce that a new bid of near to £3m made and accepted.
Just passing it on!
From which club
Can only see one Hibs fan on twitter talking about it which has been picked up by someone on the Bounce. No ideas if those folk are ITK? Can't see anything anywhere else?
best of luck to him whenever/wherever
Not really what anyone wants to happen but every player has a value.
MB will be 29 in April. We aren't going to get many more 7 figure bids for him moving forward so I think around £3-4M will be where we decide to deal.
Apparently fee agreed

Interesting that the guy who posted this on twitter is followed by KP.
Good luck to him if he goes and we'll done to the club for sticking to their guns.
Like Souttar, Boyle has had bad injuries, (albeit not as bad as Souttar’s). However, unlike Souttar, Boyle signed a new contract when he could have easily done the dirty on his club like Souttar has. Nae luck Jambos. 😛
See ya Boyler, thanks for all the memories.
Best not to make any comments till it's official.
I'm disappointed that he's leaving, partly because it would have been a great testimonial, but he goes with my best wishes.
It's not often that a player from the SPFL gets the opportunity to earn their fortune at such a late point in their career so, if he can work out his domestic situation, he should grab the opportunity.
Of course, he could decide to stay...
Going into a derby on 1st Feb without him leaves me nervous to say the least
Any idea how much it’s for?
3 million?
Gutted. Good luck to the lad. He’s gave us his all over the seven years here, and deserves the chance to set up his family financially for life.
I reckon we'll break our transfer record signing a replacement.
Although it seems more and more likely he'll leave, I'd still rather he stayed than us getting a load of cash.
Perhaps the best I can hope for is we sign a pre-contract with him in 18 months and bring him home.
Will be gutted if he goes, but I can’t imagine we’d be accepting anything less than £3m for him, which for a player who turns 29 in a couple months who we realistically got for free and has given us years of good service, it’s probably a pretty decent deal for us. Fully expect a good chunk of that to be reinvested in the team too.

Sound alike Mueller is going to take a while to get up to speed a little. Not too fussed about that tbh, take the time and do it right so that he doesn't do himself an injury.
Look at Kyogo, didn't have a break between seasons and started very strong, now crocked
£3 million is ‘bite yer hand off’ territory - great money for Hibs, great for Martin who has been a shining light for us, cost us an ‘Alex Harris’ - as much as I love MB, means we are going to be a side not so reliant on him and I’m sure SM will have targets in mind to replace him.
If it’s true, can’t grudge the lad a huge contract - given the club everything and many great memories to boot.
Really hope he stays. Not just because he's a very effective players, but his attitude and application to the Hibs cause has been outstanding. If £3M is the compensation, there are other players of similar value (apparently) who I'd much sooner see leave before Boyle.
For once I’m confident the money would be re-invested. He’d go with my best wishes and will be missed at Easter road by the fans and in the changing room
Gutted if true. Thanks for everything martin :-(
Although disappointing to lose him and also disappointing to be doing business with a club from Saudi Arabia, the money will be good for us and will hopefully allow us to reinvest it in the squad this month.
Can't blame the club if the £3m valuation has been met. Every player at every club has a price. Just hope we can use some of the money to get a replacement. He'll be hard to replace but fair play to Hibs to hold out and good luck to Boyle in the future.
Boyle will return to Hibs after international duty.
If the 3m has been met, good luck to him. Could have not signed a deal with us and pissed off for nout. Surely if he goes for 3 million has to be one of our best bits of business for some time. A swap deal for Alex Harris, mental.
Loyal player and deserves the best , opposite of soapy
Have my doubts about this move .
Mr Google directed me to a web site that had Brazilian right winger Rossi, as having signed with Al Faisaly on 13 January.
Difficult to see them signing 2 foreign right wingers in a week.
Of course, that’s assuming it’s the same club that are in for him, and that the reported signing of Rossi HAS been completed.
Selling Boyle would indicate to Maloney that there is a lack of ambition at Hibs.
How many clubs sign a new Head Coach then immediately sell their top player, only reliable penalty taker and sole goal threat early in their new contract?
And whose fans roll over with the idea?
We’ve been promised the team will be invested in, bigger wages will be paid. It could be said that holding out for £3million for a 29 year old who’s had a number of injuries is demonstrating excellent ambition :dunno: That money will be going on other players, Petrie has left the building remember.
Clubs who have that exact business model? Selling our best players at good prices (which is the key) to then reinvest in more young players like Melkersen and Henderson is exactly what our plan is and I think most of our fans understand and accept this.
The fees we get won't be invested in never ending infrastructure projects like under Petrie, to the detriment of the team. I'm confident Gordon won't do that.
Think we have to remember we have a pretty solid infrastructure in place like that stadium. Of course it needs upgraded but we aren’t back in the days of paying it all off and training centre costs but at the same time ALL clubs have been affected by covid situation so clubs need to make £ back somehow.
Other than the stadium and training ground, what infrastructure projects did Petrie invest in? Those are also quite good things for a football club to spend money on, especially when we needed to upgrade the stadium and had no training ground. I’m not so sure that Ron will purely focus on spending in players either as he has given us big screens already, so I think he’s keen to invest in infrastructure if he thinks it will enhance the match day experience.
If he leaves, we have to talk up the positive of why signing for us is a good move for talented players who want to make a name for themselves.
I think if we sell him for 3 million the club deserve a huge pat on the back. We've recently convinced him to sign a new contract, removing the 500k buy out clause and rejected other bids this month already. Look across the city where their most valuable player didn't sign a new contract and is leaving them for nothing. At clubs our size you've got to get the best deal you can. Looks like we're getting a very good one. Maloney is naive if he doesn't understand that.
I think when a player extends their contract and that potentially benefits the parent club if a good offer comes along, it should be considered. It sends the wrong message to other players if life changing offers are dismissed without the player’s involvement.
Why extend your contract if that’s how you will be treated. We have a buy young, develop and sell policy, it’s really important players trust the process. Good luck to Boyle if the £3m has been met, great club servant. You will be missed.
This is the point.
It’s often forgotten that Boyle wasn’t a big name when he came to us, he had scored the grand total of 4 goals for Dundee and had done well at Montrose at a lower level. We swapped him for Alex Harris, fast forward six years and he’s a full international, being offered money that will set him up for life. We’ve been central to his career. You’re going to be able to point to him when you’re talking to the best young players in Scotland or further afield and say, see, this is what you can achieve with Hibs.
So has a bid been accepted? Cant see anything to suggest it has other than a few Twitter pages ran by 17 yr olds.
I agree with everything you say.
The only thing I would add, is that its a really good business model that and it benefits the player and then the club for the selling on part.
However the fans are also entitled to get something out of the plan. For me it would be to get in some decent players for no other reason that to make the product on the park more pleasing. We need a good base.
It was a horrific penalty and I was pissed off about it after Ross lost his job but Boyle has won us a lot of games over his time here.
Am sure Martin and Rachel have had some serious talks on,will we,wont we.
If it is 3 years,money aside ,its a risk and a real culture/lifestyle change.
Not like moving to,say Europe or North America..Or even Oz.
I think your right, only I think he will focus only on projects that are going to increase revenue.....so maybe enhancements to East Mains that the club can rent out or additions under the stands. Can't see corners being filled with seats in the near future, unless our attendances were to suddenly to shoot up.
I refuse to believe it until its on the Greggs thread
I’ve got an odd image in my mind of Rachel playing football wearing a Burka. That aside, despite the Saudi, Muslim attitude to women, which I believe has relaxed somewhat, they dohave womens’ football over there.
Attachment 25470
as long as they play outwith the view of men, a different culture still embracing views from the dark ages. ...and no embracing anyway after goal celebrations, not because of covid either. lol
Aye,now woman can play football,drive a car and the Prince is to, or has recently abolish/ed public floggings.
Maybe on their day off, the Boyles could go to market and possibly visit a public stoning.
These oil rich dictators around the Gulf are seeking world approval with their massive investments/sponsorship of many sports.(thats the reason organised womens football is tolerated)
Money talks and its corruption has led us to the WC in Qatar.
Women,until recently,2018,were banned from attending big football games,let alone play the game.
There is wonderful comedy film about women using lots of tricks/disguises to get into a crucial football game in Iran.
Its called Offside
Might be available on utube .Very funny !
