I think we all agree Boyle is, by the proverbial country mile, Hibs best and most influential player. As Celtic circle I really fear for our team as an attacking threat without him. Hibs may or may not get McNulty to replace Oli, but we don’t have the funds required to replace Boyle, when out injured we were a FAR poorer side in an attacking sense and unless Hibs pull something dramatic out the bag we will be a poorer squad come the end of January without Boyle, whether McNulty is with us or not.

We will lose Boyle in the summer. We will not lose Boyle in this transfer window. I can’t understand why people think this might actually happen.

It depends on the circumstances of his departure.
If he goes now because we receive a valuation that is appropriate for a player of his importance, adjusted upwards for OF tax (if that’s where he goes) then I’m ok with it.
If we somehow find ourselves giving our best player to Celtic for any of the poor reasons that have been suggested then I won’t be happy.
I have a horrible feeling it will be the latter and within a year of taking over Ron Gordon’s going to have some questions to answer, if he can be bothered.
We knew and accepted in was time for McGinn and McGeouch to move on. This is a wee bit like the “Scott Allan saga”, where Hibs will be making some sort of statement via their actions.

He's an important player and a club legend but we've lost important players like him in the past and we seem to cope alright so I think we might be ok.

Seen this scenario acted out so many times down the decades since the Joe Baker era when he asked the club for an extra fiver. The press at that time reported 'Hibs can't meet Baker's demands.'
I'll be extremely disappointed if we don't fight tooth and nail to keep Boyle at ER. Offer him a new and improved contract for starters. His value is likely to increase greatly in the next few years so giving Celtic the green light is not in our best interests, or his, if he was foolish enough to go there.

We have lost way better players in the past and have always done ok. Its just part of watching Hibs.

Although I think the OP is slightly over stating it, I tend to agree.
Our games without Boyler this season, we've been mince. With him, we've been much improved.
Personally, next time his wife is in for training, I'd lock her in a cupboard and only release her once MB has signed an extended deal.

As much as Boyle has improved, he won’t be an automatic starter if he were to sign for Celtic. Similar to Johnny Hayes in that regard in my opinion.
However he’ll probably triple his wage, so nobody can blame him for wanting to go.
Whatever happens, we’ve seen it all before. The most important thing is that the club will move on also, as will the fans.
I hope we hang onto him as long as we possibly can but business is business and we all need to acknowledge were we are on the food chain.Last edited by Weegreenman; 24-01-2020 at 02:16 PM.

I would like to see us hang on to our top performers as much as possible. I understand there are other considerations (mainly financial), but let’s not resign ourselves to the fact that we have lost players before and continued to “survive”.

This is a media induced story which folk are giving creedence to.
Where is the evidence that Celtic are moving for Boyle?
