New Boyle Bid?

[stoneyburn hibs]

Boyle will return to Hibs after international duty.

[Greencore]

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.

[Squealing pig]

Loyal player and deserves the best , opposite of soapy

[Forza Fred]

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.

[RIP]

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?

£3 million for Boyle is some piece of business. You could say he got Ross the sack with a penalty miss.

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 That money will be going on other players, Petrie has left the building remember.

Well that's a view I suppose.

An alternative one might be that when he signed his new contract part of the discussion revolved around giving him the opportunity to leave if a suitable offer came in.

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.

Absolutely not, you can’t hold players to ransom every player in the world has a value that a club would sell at and every manager knows that. As long as the manager gets a proportion of the money to reinvest there is no issue IMO.

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.

Or you could say he kept him in a job longer than he should have been scoring three goals at Hampden and stuff like that.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

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.

[Percy Vere]

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.

Drey Wright was pretty good against Dundee Utd. Maybe the chance he’s been waiting for.

Forgot about Drey.

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.

That was doing his job properly.

The miss wasn't.

[Since452]

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.

True, but Maloney seems clever enough to know that denying someone a life changing move wouldn’t be good for the team in the long run

All 11 players were god awful that night. He did not get Jack Ross sacked.

[Mick O'Rourke]

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.
