I would have said it was Boyle agent briefing the DR, but the timing of this leak is a bit suspect after the weekend result. Not you, but some dons fans seem to be hanging their hat on the "hes a lifelong dandy" line.................in truth if he can get -a lot - more cash down south then thats where he will move his family (and dont forget, his wife also plays football at a high level). There's several folk up here who say he's a Hearts fan but goes with 'Aberdeen fan' for obvious reasons. Whatever the truth he's obviously a Hibs fan at the moment. I can't see Aberdeen chucking out nonsense stories to appease fans after Raith. If we don't sign him up is just putting unnecessary pressure on themselves.

Do you believe that? A raft of Edinburgh papers ran with the story you'd bid £200k for McCart last month. You'd have to be obscenely naive to believe that didn't come from the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We genuinely hear hee haw - and that includes from sources that work there. There is a school of thought that the £200k story emerged from St Johnstone as a "get tae f**k Hibs" message - its no less naive to believe that one is possible but in truth nobody knows. p.s. a "raft of Edinburgh papers" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zing. Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Scott Burns confirms no release clause that a Scottish club can make use of. MLS transfer window now closed which surely sees off the Atlanta angle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant be true as a "digital journalist" at the Daily Record tweeted last night that Atlanta could invoke the clause and send him to Aberdeen.....................

The Grass Is Greener. Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 The Scotsman implying Aberdeen thought the 500k release clause was available for Scottish clubs. Also looks like Boyle is getting a new contract. Idiots 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a good bit of agent work to get his client over the line with the deal he wanted from Hibs. Top work. Otherwise the existing deal would have run down by 12-18 months, by which time Boyle would be pushing 30 and clubs (including Hibs) would be nervous about signing him long-term and/or giving him a pay rise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
