diet filth thenNearly its Hibs
Celtic didn't need to sign him he played for them anytime they faced hibsIn all fairness he is getting to stage in his career where a good payday cannot blame hin, personally i am glad because there was talk of him being linked with them so that's a bonus, he was a thorn in our side when playing hibs
and out his skin against us like everyone elseCeltic didn't need to sign him he played for them anytime they faced hibs
Ironic that the highlights of his entire career will be the games he played and the goals he scored against Rangers.He's 28yo, a mediocre player with a mediocre career. This is the best he'll get. Quite right to make the move.
bbc reporting done at £3m. A decent camel costs more over therethis confirmed?
did they get a fee?
She plays for Hibs ladies and Scotland NT. Doubt she’ll chuck it to go and live the WAG lifestyleHis wife is a footballer too is she not. She won’t be over there!
Apparently £3 million that’s what BBC are reporting anywaythis confirmed?
did they get a fee?
She could commute tbf.His wife is a footballer too is she not. She won’t be over there!
Clearly going for the moolah but you honestly couldn't pay me enough to go live and work there.
I did. I am not unhappy though, more relieved he can't be a thorn in our sides. Not only that, but I think if we don't buy a right-winger, a lot more people than me will be unhappy.That's why he wants to go sets him up for life Hibs kb'd £2m as they want £3m for him and he wasn't happy. Someone in transfer thread be unhappy as they want us to sign him.
£3m, that’s even more surprising than his alleged wageThey got £3m for him. He was under contract until 2024.
So no change then?I’m sure £1.5m a year would even have you living in a tent and using a camel as transport
I moved to Saudi in July with family. We have a great life here.Clearly going for the moolah but you honestly couldn't pay me enough to go live and work there.

I couldn't live in a country under Islamic law.Right you are…..
And its basically a part time job with them. 4, sometimes 5 games a season tops.Career path mapped out.
Over to Saudi, earn a fortune.
See half his contract out and end up playing for the sheep.
A very sheep signing in the future.
I think you can do these things for so long, although there are some exceptions. Definitely good to give it a go living in a foreign country, and then bringing back a fat pile of cash. I'm planning to come back at the end of this year after 11 years overseas (not Saudi).Its usually people who’ll never get the opportunity bashing those who go to Saudi.
Can guarantee your views would be different if offered a 10x pay rise and tax free.
It’s also a much nicer place than most in the West assume.
to be fair for Boyle its not just good money its crazy money. Is it not 30k a week tax free, so the equivalent of about 50k a week over here?! for someone on 2k a week thats unthinkableClearly going for the moolah but you honestly couldn't pay me enough to go live and work there.
Again, it’s very easy to say when you don’t have quite literally life changing money for you and your entire family being waved in front of you.I couldn't live in a country under Islamic law.
celtic couldnt afford him the wages he is being offered are prob well over double what celtic could offer himThey got £3m for him. He was under contract until 2024.
tax free also remember footballers pay about 45% tax on that amountIf I am an average footballer and someone offers me £1m a year to go to Saudi for 3 years, I am there because there is not chance I am earning that kind of money anywhere else.
He could move down south and get increased wages but he was never going to get the wages that they’re reportedly offering him down there.Footballing backwater. He's good enough that he could get a move south and increase his wages if he wanted to. And as much as the middle east has some incredibly modern cities, generally they're socially backwards. Couldn't pay me enough to live and work out there.
people talk about this as if they live completely lawful lives in the UK. I break the law every single day in the UK with zero effect on my life.... Im sure there are plently in Saudi that do the sameAgain, it’s very easy to say when you don’t have quite literally life changing money for you and your entire family being waved in front of you.
what he is offered is the equivalent of about 50k over here. no one is offering him anything like thatHe could move down south and get increased wages but he was never going to get the wages that they’re reportedly offering him down there.
especially for most footballers in UK's high tax band of 45%Must be some feeling getting a call from your agent being told you have been offered £25,000 a week tax free.
tax free also remember footballers pay about 45% tax on that amount
