    Well, not if the team in Saudi can’t afford the wages due being relegated and want to offload him. And then it will be a case of Boyle being paid what a club is willing to pay him.
    He's about to play in the World Cup so I would expect that clubs with more money than us will be interested if he becomes available.

    The only teams who could currently afford him in Scotland are Celtic and Rangers.

    He won't be giving up £20k a week in Saudi Arabia after 6 months. If he leaves them it will be to go to another team that also offers £20k a week.
    £20/25K is fairly average pay for the lower end of the English prem and upper end of the championship.
    Would it be realistic to imagine Boyle at a Fulham, Bournemouth or Norwich or should he be aiming higher?

    No chance at all he's coming here. They aren't suddenly going go offload him for a price we can afford and we wouldn't be able to pay the wages he'd want, that's why he left.
    Once we get the £6m Mcginn windfall we can……

    If he goes up for sale, I doubt we would be able to match the fee anyway, never mind the wages.

    Given they are relegated they might want to loan him out for 6 months or so. We would need to fund a fair chunk of his wages so say £10k a week over 26 weeks.

    We would be absolutely flying going into next season if he returned. Would give us so many new options at top end given other additions.

    Was the £3m upfront or instalments?
    Could effect our budget if latter

    Completely disagree. In my opinion you're either thinking EPL teams are better than they are, or massively undervaluing Martin Boyle.

    I'm not saying he's a top class player, he's never good enough for the top teams in the EPL, but in teams like Southampton (where Armstrong and Adams play regularly), Bournemouth (Christie a regular for them) and Nottingham Forest who've just come up, for example. Boyle could easily play in those teams.

    Agree.

    Boyle could be a handy squad player for anybody in the bottom half, especially for a couple million. To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if he started for a lot of them.

    God are the rumours of the return starting already!!






    Love it!

    Totally - i cant believe some of the over spending champ teams down south haven't picked him up.

    Only if the club goes bust. Or, I suppose, they might offer us an appointment at a Saudi embassy…

    In all honesty I don't think we'll see him back at Hibs period.

    He has a contract though and that is binding. Martin has all the power here and they can't make him to go anywhere if he doesn't want to.

    They can of course make things hard for him to force him out, and I'd imagine that is easier in somewhere like Saudi Arabia where I doubt the law will give Martin much protection.

    I think we will see Martin back at ER but its a bit soon. If this was happening even a year down the line then I could see him having made enough money to move back here but after only a few months it would be a tough one for him.

    Given the circumstances I cannot see an immediate return of the Boyler If he has to move then it will probably be to England to a team who can cover most of what Al Faisaly paid for him. Upper end of the Championship is probably where he will end up. If we see MB again, it will be nearer the end of his career. I hope I am wrong but I don't see him uprooting his life like he did just to come back to Scotland to earn roughly what he was on when he left 6 months ago. His footballing ability has not dropped off and he will expect his salary to stay high until it does.


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    6 months at 20k he's banked just short of half a mill.

    He can come back here for 6k a week plus bonuses. He's had a holiday, got half a mill and he'll be welcomed back like the messiah.

    What's not to like.

    Right, Ron... Pony up

    Don’t think they have any money worries

    They average about 5000 a home game so it’s not as if relegation is going to put a serious dent in their income.

    Obviously they are funded by rich benefactors.

    I wouldn't say he uprooted his life. After a lot of deliberation his family decided to stay in Edinburgh in their family home. If he returns it would almost be like coming back from a long holiday away.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if he went to The A-league or another Asian club

    No A League club would be able to afford the likely transfer fee.

    However is his contract is cancelled and he is a free agent then that’s a different story and he could well end up here in Oz.

    I haven’t paid any attention to his results. Does anyone know if he has been playing well or is one of their better performers? Can’t imagine it will be very appealing playing in the 2nd tier over there.

    There’s an old saying, ‘I’m not worried about the man with the scar. I’m worried about the man that gave him the scar’.
    With that in mind should we not be trying to sign the winger from the team that won the league, not from the team that was relegated?

    (would have him back in a heartbeat)

    Moving to any A-League team would be a step down.

    Yeah true, it’s not often a league clubs pay high fees or none at all. Is that because of clubs not having funds or is there restrictions?

    Was Chris Mueller not on a big wage ? If MB available and that’s the wages no brainer cmon Ron
