Fitzroy Pointon Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 That's Gordon got the fans on his side for good now. He could rip the club apart bit by bit and they would still lick his boots clean after this. I wonder how Johnson feels having another player forced on him. In a footballing sense, it's a good signing for them though. Quote

Let’s not pretend he’ll go back in and make them world beaters though. He was part of the hilariously shit Hibs team that got Jack Ross sacked last season. Good player. Not the Messiah Exactly this. Not worth wetting the pants over.. Quote
AlphonseCapone Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Martin Boyle wouldn't get to clean the boots at celtic ffs Quote
Martin_T Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Signing a player, in his 30th year, whose main attribute is pace, on a 3 to 4 year contract, on big money, doesn't strike me as a particularly sensible investment. He's a good player, but not particularly worth worrying about. Quote
Jambo_Gaz Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Beaten them with him before. He's also joined a practically different Hibs team than the one he left only in January. Quote
RustyRightPeg Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Doesn’t seem like a Johnson signing to me. He’s made noises on that front in his interview albeit tongue in cheek with his comments about Messi, maybe as an out loud dig, who knows. Big money, will only get slower, presumably more injury prone. Bring him back. **** them. Edited August 6, 2022 by RustyRightPeg Quote
Absolute Scenes Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Anyone confirm if he’s allowed to play tomorrow Quote

Bizarre transfer in the first place, the wig was talking about coming home before he'd even left Scotland. Quote

Has something in common with most vermin “legends”, Riordan, Murray, Griffiths, Hanlon etc in that, more often than not makes zero difference in a derby. Quote

BBC quoting that Hibs put a buy back clause in his transfer contract. It was more likely the Saudi’s that put in the clause as it was a risk to them as not all Western footballers can settle a very rigid country regarding laws etc. They don’t throw money away. Hibs will have to cough up millions for this transfer. Looks like another Hibsd It. Quote
AlimOzturk Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Decent signing tbf. However he is hardly the solution to all their problems. Quote

Sertse Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 What a shitty wee club the hobos are. They've got so many players on their books and they've decided to add another, one that they can't even afford. The interview says that they've had to contact the owner and it's a significant sum. So they're spending a fortune on a bunch of nobodies and pinning all their hopes on one player on a gigantic wage. I hope he comes back and picks up a cruciate injury. Quote
Gannet Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Doubt very much if they have forked out millions for Boyle…..more likely they sold him on an instalment basis and probably agreed to cancel any remaining payments in exchange for his return, and possibly a token fee. Quote

It is the equivalent of paying that fee. Quote

Utter stupidity for a player that clearly doesn’t give a **** about them and walked away for money paid by bigots/misogynists and when Hibs arguably needed him more than ever. His morals are ****ed. Hibs budget is ****ed. Ron’s profit is ****ed. Edited August 6, 2022 by Tom Hardy’s Dug Quote

But im going to take a wild guess and rekon he will take the 10k per week the american lad was on last season on a 3 or 4 year contract. In that case it wont be a good long term investment, similar to us with berra/naismith type signings. Seriously? Comparing Naismith to Tom Daley's love child? Quote

gregzy2k7 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Boyle is a decent signing for h1b5, no point pretending otherwise, will he suddenly make them challenge for europe again ? I very much doubt it tbh, however he is also a diving bassa and with var coming in after the winter break, I could see him being suspended/Sent off a few times for trying to con referees for penalties/free kicks etc. Quote
Penrices left boot Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Good signing for them and at 30 till has a few years left yet. This should see hibs turn back to their flair football of sit deep and punt it down the wing. It does work sometimes. Rangers are the only club that should be concerned, pretty Sure he cause them all types of problems and exposed Tavanier defensively as they punt and rush tactic blew his mind. Quote
Pasquale for King Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 He is a decent signing for them. Should do enough to keep them up. Quote
