I hope Boyce made sure he's got a relegation clause in his contact.

Yep has had a number of serious knee injuries, think he had an ACL not long after joining Burton. Good goalscorer.

Thought so, good player but how many guys like this can you have in your squad? No wonder they get so many injuries

[we are hibs]

Boyce scored 22 goals in 78 games for burton. Decent but Hardly earth shattering. He also needs chances to be created for him. Theyve not exactly been creating loads in league games. Didnt have a single shot on target the other night.

[Col2]

Good signing. Hearts will inevitably make him *****. They do this will every striker.

[Smartie]

Boyce is a decent player but do they anyone to play in midfield yet?

[thebausburst]

His goals could make the difference between staying up and relegation.

[Steven79]

Looking past what he done at Ross County for a minute.

He missed most of the 17/18 season with a serious injury.

He scored 11 goals in 37 games for Burton in the 3rd tier in England last season.

This season it's 8 in 25 in the league.

If we were buying a player with those stats from the 3rd tier in England this place would be up in arms...

He averages a goal every 2.2 games, the sort of stats we would be dribbling over. He may not be great at Hearts, however I think its wishful thinking as he appears to be a very good signing for them.

Absolutely. Not saying he’s going to keep them up for sure or anything like that but we’d be kidding ourselves on to say he’s not a good signing. Especially in their current circumstances

[GillyHibee]

I can't see this being confirmed anywhere else apart from the Daily Ranger? Evening News reporting talks are on-going, but they are awaiting another bid from another club?

If you look back one more season you’ll see what he’s capable of in our league

We can dress it up all we want but ON PAPER a very good signing

It's a goal every 3.5 games which is hardly earth shattering!

That was before his injury and he was playing for a decent that created chances.

[Nicho87]

I fear this transfer will decide a few fans fate for season tickets. Sell our best player, no real investment, won’t go down well

A ross county team who finished 7th on -10 goals?

From a season ticket point of view it would be a horrendous decision by the board

I’m not sure, NL seems to be reverting his 3 at the back for Celtic ,he knows Boyle will run himself into the ground playing wide right in midfield and Forrest won’t do the dirty side.

I wouldn't expect boyle to play ahead of frimpong in that system.

I imagine they are looking at him as a direct and relatively cheap replacement for sinclair i.e. squad player.

Is turnbull from motherwell back playing yet? Surprised they are not back in for him before going after boyle.

I'm hearing that mikey Johnson lad might be coming to us as part of a deal ..... guy at work saying a loan.. don't know how anyone can be sure of anything at this stage though

That shouldn't even be considered as an option.

[flash]

This thread now consists of one set of punters telling us how wonderful Hertz new signing is going to be and another set telling us how they angry they are about a transfer that hasn't even happened.

What a time to be alive.

Agreed. Including a loan so that we can give their player game time and dressing it as a positive for us rather than them. No thanks.

Absolutely,just posted similar on another thread. Its amazing how angry some folk get when someone posts a rumour on a forum with no proof at all its even close to the truth??

Yup. If they want our star winger they can give us one of theirs. Pay up or **** off.

Don't you just love transfer windows, as there's not a lot we can do, I just sit and read the carnage and mayhem on here.

[Keith_M]

My view on Boyle is that we don't need to sell him, so why not just give a ridiculously high transfer price if another club approaches us.


"Yes, Mr Lennon, ten million and he's yours."

Apparently Lenny is on SSN saying it's 'pure speculation' about Boyle...

Yes it is, doesn’t mean it’s not true. Politicians answer.🙄

"Don't renew your season ticket". I'm hearing load and clear. If we sell Boyle on the cheap and then take a youngster on loan for 6months to justify the low fee then I'm done. Especially if we don't invest the money in players. Club have to stop it. Don't want to stand in the way of players progressing their careers but club should get appropriate fees for players and invest it properly. This season alone shows how far we have gone backwards from selling our best player and not replacing. McGinn to mediocrity (accompanying "there is no money" statements).

But this has always been the Hibs way. Selling our best and squandering the cash on less than adequate replacements. And for some reason, we seem to love trying to sweeten deals with the old firm by bring some of their deadwood the other way - I remember us selling Ian Munro to Rangers and getting Alex Scott and Graeme Fyfe from them (that went just as well as it usually does). We never seem to learn but it rarely makes me think I'll stop supporting our club. FWIW selling Boyle this window would be especially mad, even with our track record.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you page 4 of the last Labour Party manifesto.

Supporters find it hard to accept, but we can't do everything on limited resources.

If we do sell Boyle for £1.5m, we'll be in a far better position to fill the positions than if we just rely on our current bank balance.

As someone pointed out elsewhere, we really need to build from the back so while we may not be replacing like for like, we will still be improving the team.

That’s making the assumption that the funds would be used for transfer business. Hibs have rarely reinvested significant fees from selling players directly back into the squad, it tends to balance the books or go into infrastructure. Frustrating for us but usually true.
