Was just a rumour I’d heard. No substance just posting what I’d heard. Wouldn’t have the foggiest idea what the guy is on in America.

Heard the same rumour too. Heard he will be highest earner at Hibs

Great post and certainly puts things into perspective and suggests Hibs have over sold the guy a bit.
To give folk an even better idea of Muellers level, average players like Jake Mulraney that have moved to the MLS from Hearts are on double the wage Mueller was on.
I suspect Mulraney is over paid and Mueller is under paid but it is food for thought.

Another stat that may be of interest relates to MLS based Stuart Findlay who folk on here have been suggesting as likely to be on his way to Hibs
Believe it or not he is on 3 times the wage Mueller is on so don't expect to see him back in Scotland until his contract there expires

Another one you might remember is the american player Jon Gallagher, who Aberdeen had on loan. He is only on $81,000 dollars a year. He did okay at Aberdeen but ultimately wasn't good enough.

Two players who were on loan at Hibs in recent years and did not impress are also playing in the MLS:
Emerson Hyndman who is on a mouth watering $800k a season and Ryan Gauld who is on a mind blowing $2 million a season

As Capital Green says we need to manage our expectations of Chris Mueller and give him time to adapt.
From what I have seen of him he is a talented, fit and enthusiastic grafter who will give of his best to try to make it at Hibs.

I wouldn’t say hibs have oversold him, more the fans / media at the time of his signing. The rest of your post is pretty interesting though.

I’m not sure Hibs have oversold the guy, he’s an exciting signing but some fans have let their imaginations run wild.

I’d also be wary of comparing to the salaries of different MLS players, it’s not a normal market for wages like in Europe. The player designation system and salary cap can make comparing the salaries of home grown players who have came through the college system and players recruited from abroad akin to comparing apples and pears.

If you want to read about it further the following article explains it well with an example of a player in similar situation to Mueller finds himself -https://medium.com/whatahowler/mls-a...s-5679f3f8ed75

Having watched him a few times on tv, he's a hard working player who's decent at what he does in that league.

Most times i've seen him he's hardly finished a game, and not really impacted the game much.

Comparing standards is difficult, and of course we all want him to come and be a superstar. I think a few folk will be disapointed, but if he can come in and make us better that will do me.

I was told 8k per week and Boyle was bumped upto 10k, or maybe the other way round. No mention of third parties. Seems a lot to me but what do I know, apparently also the reason Nisbet hasn’t been looking too enthusiastic of late.

Sure there were talks of a new deal for Nisbet but assume they haven’t gone too well considering it was months ago. I’d be astonished if we were paying anyone that to be fair, seems high to me as well.

[Since90+2]

I'd be amazed if Boyle is on 10k. I would imagine it's probably closer to half that.

I’ve read this six times now and I still feel stupid.

I was completely bemused too. Not so much now I've read more of the thread.

[Tambo]

No wonder Boyle is so happy at Hibs on 10k a week.

Could he fit into a 3-5-2? I wonder if Jack will go for a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 if Mueller can produce at least 50% of what Boyle can on the left.

We have been crying out for a decent left sided player for a while with Barker showing glimpses now and again and with Murphy being hot and cold or mostly injured.

Just can’t see that being true it would be the last thing the squad needs in terms of morale
Boyle has earned the right to be the highest paid player by his contributions on the pitch . This guy is being brought over in the hope he can do well ,and move into a bigger club ,and it gives us a foothold in that market ,which Ron Gordon seems keen to be involved in

I was told that player salaries are confidential. That could be complete nonsense mind you so don't shoot the messenger. Just passing on what I heard.

People always talk, players talk. A guy i know was on a grand a week when he signed for his first club and we all knew about it, this was a good few years ago so was a lot of money then

[Glory Lurker]

He's written a book. He'll fit in just fine with us Rive Gauche Hibbies. His insta signed off with SoL yesterday. I like him.

[gbhibby]

He be over in time to be at the cup final. Get him involved with the team and the build up. Tell him we always get to cup finals and semi finals. Says a lot for him to leave the warm climate of Florida to come to Edinburgh in the winter. He will probably still go onto the pitch wearing less than Kamberi.

He’s from Chicago and spent 3 years at college in Wisconsin so he’s likely experienced more extreme winter conditions than he’ll face over here.

He’s definitely going to bring something different on that side of it. Loves an inspirational social media post or two. Not sure how they’ll go down when we’ve lost 1-0 away to Dundee and the likes right enough 😂

You know what it like when people move down south and become soft southerners. Seriously was not aware of that so will be at home here.

A dressing room full of boys from Leith, Kirkcaldy, and Bellshill will give him plenty enough stick before it even reaches the Twitter masses.

We were desperate to keep Boyle but no way are we giving him £10k a week like the poster suggested.
Although we may have had to bump it up to remove the much talked about buy out clause.
Would still be amazed if he was on more than £6k a week.
As for Mueller based on his £1800/week wage in the MLS you could see him on £3500 at Hibs. In effect doubling his wage.

I think this is fairly close to the mark.

Would be surprised if Hibs are paying anybody more than 5k a week though.

£260k per annum is good money for a good player.

I still find it hard to believe that numerous EPL players are on 100k upwards per week. A debate for another day, but sickens me to be honest.

[90274]

No way Boyle is on £10k a week. I don't believe that.

That would blow the wage to turnover ratio out the water.

Having followed him on Insta since he signed, I think it is safe to say he's in for a bit of a culture shock in terms of how your average player in the UK thinks/acts and their interests

We are a football club in Edinburgh, the second most attractive city to live in the UK after London. There shouldn't be any culture shocks for an American player coming to Edinburgh TBH. Edinburgh is a very cosmopolitan city.

It does make you wonder why we don't attract more high quality foreign players as we are an Edinburgh club.

His insta reads as though he spends his entire time memorizing the crap they used to print on "Motivational" work posters in the 1980's

Because players will go where the money is.

positivity, enthusiasm, athleticism and will to win mentality is what I expect from a US player. Who knows might even rub off?

Because clubs have turnovers in the hundreds of millions. Clubs making hundreds of millions and paying players 10k a week would be wrong IMO.
