His replacement better be ****ing good
Good luck Martin, you will be missed badly, hope we've got someone who can change a match like yourself lined up.
Nah, they’ve got dirty linen too.

Jesus ****. Where’s this thread went.
Its not until you watch the highlights of his goals that you realise how good he actually is, easily our best player and will be a huge miss for us and like john mcginn may not be replaced for a very long time, these types of players dont come along that often, in scotland anyway
Boyle saying he wants to come back to Hibs once his time in Saudi is up - so basically we are getting £3m for loaning him out there during which time he becomes a multi-millionaire? This deal just gets better and better for us.
We’ve just lost our best player, I’m genuinely surprised at how blasé so many people seem to be about it. I know there’s nothing we can do about it, but to try and present him leaving as a positive is baffling. In all my years supporting hibs we’ve never once replaced our star player with anything near the same quality. When Mcginn left it took 3 managers before we were competitive again.
When are his new club playing next?
Without Boyles input we would’ve lost him for far less. We’re losing him, but would’ve lost him anyway, this way we’ve got vast sums in our pocket to go and try to improve.
As someone said previously, we can’t just keep our players until they are too old with no sell on value. That may help us this year but down the line we wouldn’t have any money to replace them with and end up far worse for it.
I don’t think there is much fans can do or say that would made a difference.
Most fans are aware every club is a selling club if the price is right. Hibs and Ben did the right thing sorting his new contract out abs same applies to Doig / Porto who will probably next to be sold. Sign a new contract improve weekly wage and we will sell you in future making sure Hibs get X amount which suits both parties. This is clear in Boyles interview and Ben has said this before.
I do agree about the next stages though. We still haven’t even come close to replacing SJM and currently I’m not sure we have a Boyle replacement - Mueller isn’t the same as Boyle.
Boyle was entertainment and got fans off their seats - he was also entertainment off the pitch on social media etc and in the dressing room.
Boyle leaving allows others to step up but we do need to find some pace up front or wide - electric pace that defenders really fear.
We also need to sort the midfield - Magennis was starting to show signs of being a possible replacement but he just can’t be relied on.
Over to you Hibs..still time before window shuts to give the fans a boost with at least 2 more signings that will make an instant impact to improve us.
I have more faith with Ron and Ben to give SM funds than RP days.
Charles Cook and Mikey Johnston would improve us.
I’m delighted for Martin and he deserves his pay day in the sun after his performances for us over the years but absolutely devastated from a Hibs point of view. Yes £3 million in the kitty but probably unreplaceable in the pond we fish in. Like most how & who are we gonna get in to replace him & his goal scoring threat ?
Thanks for the memories Martin. :not worth
HAbsolutely gutted. Boyle is a brilliant player and always seemed a great character to have around. He’s earned his big money move. He’s doing what’s best for him and his family. I imagine he will spend a couple of years over there, make his money (which provided he’s sensible about it will set him and his family up for life) then return to somewhere in the UK.
so good on him and I wish him nothing but success.
Provided some amazing memories and Leaves a legend :not worth:flag:
