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.

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?

Our obsession with signing ex-players is still strong I see. 🤣

That 2nd Saudi league is a massive drop off from the top division. There is much less foreign players and of those foreign players, very few are westerners. I’d be surprised if he returned to us so soon but I’d be equally surprised if he hangs around at his current club. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him move to another Saudi club or possibly elsewhere in the Middle East. It’s also highly likely that his contract will have included clauses that saw his salary reduce in the event of a relegation.

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.

Dunbar, not Edinburgh 😉

Decent for us whilst he was here but we’ve moved on.

Decent? Really? You must be a hard man to please.

Did you see how much we plummeted after we left?

I would take him back in a heartbeat.

He'd have to pay the tax too...

Tax is for us mere mortals to worry about. Celebs, politicians, Lithuanian Submariners and Martin Hun Slayer Boyle don't need to worry about inconveniences of tax issues... allegedly.

Aye, did fek all after he left.

***MagicSwirlingShip*** · 28-06-2022 01:23 PM

Perhaps he has a break clause in his contract if the club are relegated 🧐

**The_Sauz** · 28-06-2022 01:32 PM

Hi all

I could have picked this up the wrong way, but did Martin not say that Hibs had first option should he leave his current club?

I think Martin has a say in what wages he asks for as well...

***greenlex*** · 28-06-2022 01:48 PM

He will end up at the Huns.

Just posted the same thought on the transfer thread.

**Stokesy's on fire** · 28-06-2022 02:11 PM

Bring him home

More to do with the rookie in charge.

It was fairly obvious we were going to be rank without him before JR got the bullet.

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

I think we would see a significant spike in season ticket sales which would offset some of the cost if Hibs could make it happen.

Did he not say when he was leaving that Hibs is the only club he would go to?

He did but it won’t be his call it will be down to whether Lee wants him back in the team and if we can afford what the fee would be
Pros We know what we are getting and he has played his best stuff with us and is proven scorer with pace to burn This would allow some of the younger players time to settle in in the B team and bring them off the bench when ready gradually exposing them to the rigours of first team football Uo here
Cons would that stifle young players development and Woukd we end up too reliant on him again which some fans felt was a problem at point he left

Sell Doig and play Stevenson left back for a season, sorted.

Wow! 🤣

***Northernhibee*** · 28-06-2022 02:50 PM

It's one of those ones we'd absolutely love to happen and would be on the level of Deeks rejoining, but I think we'll end up with our hearts broken if we believe it might actually be the case.
