Grangemouth Bairn Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 He’s proved in the past that he’ll be a very good signing for Hibs as is a good Premiership player. Does anyone know why he struggled in Saudi ? I know the football over there is a lot more technical and slower then ours due to the heat and Boyle’s biggest asset is his pace ? That maybe something to do with it ? Also, did he struggle with homesickness as his family never went ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d read the football side had went badly and the club were relegated ? Apologies, I’ve obviously read complete crap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye 3 goals in 11 games wasn’t exactly struggling tbf, scored one in their equivalent of the Champions League. If you translate a few of the Arabic comments on Al-Faisaly’s tweet it sounds like they’re not happy about letting him go either. Think it’s just due to the relegation and him being a big earner. He manages fine in the heat when playing for Australia tbf. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was directly involved in 4 of the 10 goals the team scored when he was on the pitch. He didn't struggle, the team did. The team got relegated and they couldn't afford him anymore.

The Other Foot Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Apparently he’s the only surviving member of the team that got relegated (the rest were beheaded). Boy must have done something right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 So obviously we'll never know the details but have we effectively made somewhere between 500 grand and a million by loaning him over there for 6 months? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. We’ve actually managed to become even more Gordon Gecko than we were when Petrie was here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which will cover any wage rise. We are that money may as well give Rachel a wage rise and pay for the nanny too tbh. As will of course WC appearance cash. Easily the best signing of the summer in Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zing. Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Seeing it reported that we’ve received £1.5m of the fee already. Obviously don’t know what the agreement has been to get him back but if we’ve just waived the remainder it’s a brilliant deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 If Hibs have managed to get a fair chunk of the fee up front and then got him back for nothing, that's a fantastic bit of business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned we got £1.5m of the fee, but it sounds like we may have had to "see Boyle right" for some unpaid salary from the Saudi club. However, as you say - if we have made Hibs some cash, made Boyle some cash and re-signed him, its a brilliant deal all round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
