theshed Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 1 hour ago, Jambo92 said: In Hibs defence he shouldn't have signed that new contract or should have been savvy enough to include clauses that would allow him to discuss such a potential move. He just looks like a greedy idiot, obviously got his agent to disclose his release clause in the summer to get a bumper contract. As much as I’d like to see him away on the cheap your right in saying Boyle sounds like a greedy guy. Threatening to leave to get a better deal from hibs a while back so probably got his wages doubled so was happy to sign a new contract and stay at hibs then first sign of better money somewhere else he’s jumping ship In saying all that I hope he goes as he’s a good player plus the money will go right into Ron’s pocket anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams have always tried to sign good players and then if they sell them get as much money as possible. Every team in the world. Torque explained it very well.

My view is Hibs are trying very hard to do a speculate to accumulate model - it's very very obvious. Thing is, they've tried for a couple of years now to sell Doig, Porteous and Nisbet - who, with Boyle, are their only players with market value. And even then the first three, their value is probably diminishing. So I'm all for Boyle being sold. Here's why: it'll embolden their approach, which is wholly flawed. I don't think their scouting or entire football set-up is capable of producing the goods, so the more they head down the path of throwing wages at pish hoping they can sell them, and bringing in guys who already have their eyes on their next move - go for it. Frankly, we've been there and it didn't work. In fact it was messy, and ended badly (well not so badly cos we're brilliant and now have FoH etc - for Hibs, erm, not so much). And what do you notice about the 4 guys of value mentioned above? All at the club pre-Gordon's scouting set-up. All either youth or Mathie guys I'd think. Sell him. Make some quick cash, lawd over it. Then watch your team lose their only threat and your owners and Steve bloody Kean rip your guts out!!

Ronny Gordon is there for one reason only, to try and make dollar. Any whiff of a sizeable transfer fee and their sending their pals over at the Daily Record and the Sun fake bids to try and whip up a frenzy. Boyle - on his day unplayable, those days are one in 20. Doig - has been shown to be poor defensively and very little offensively Nisbet - a steady SPL striker with a 1 in 3 ratio Porteous - a red card waiting to happen, in any league with VAR hes completely worthless.

Bongo 1874 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hibs have to throw money at it, to even give themselves a chance of catching us. Preferably Hearts could recruit two strikers this window and a central defender if Souttar leaves. But pre contracts will be worth taking a look at too, with English teams releasing players and not renewing there contracts, I hope we can pick up a few decent players from academy's.

Really need to try and stay out of the 28+ age bracket for signings. So few of them have actually been decent of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
