Triantis

[HIBS NUTS]

He’s out of contract with Sunderland in summer, if they get promotion to EPL, he has no chance of playing for them next year.
If they don’t , he might struggle to play in midfield, for a team pushing for promotion.
We should be trying to sign him on a pre contract, he’s getting better every game.

He’s contracted at Sunderland to 2027 I’m sure. His contract with us is up in the summer.

No chance he’s here next season if you ask me.

agree, I’m sure the club will be trying to sign him on a pre contract

👍 thought he was out of contract this summer

[JohnM1875]

👍 thought he was out of contract this summer

Thought the same when I initially checked the other week. Was buzzing at the thought of signing him on a permanent.

[Irish_Steve]

Thought he was excellent today, a few missed passes and the odd dodgy one but happy to get on the ball and keep things ticking over.

Would love it if he signed permanently

[1875Sean]

Must be close to getting in the Aussie squad if the likes of Nisbet get in

[Nicho87]

Was fantastic in the second half

Plays better without Kwon next to him

[Libby Hibby]

And Newell

[JohnM1875]

And Newell

That three weeks in a row he'll be in team of the week, all without Newell. Bit of a dilemma that.

Don’t think it is, a fit Newell comes straight in

[JohnM1875]

Don’t think it is, a fit Newell comes straight in

Of course he will. But Triantis has been excellent the past three games, probably our best player in each game, and I agree with Libby Hibby, I think Triantis plays better without Newell.

[hibsbollah]

My MOTM today.
Proper footballer.

[B.H.F.C]

Triantis, at times, looks like a really good player. He tends to make his mistakes when he gets a bit too confident instead of just doing what he needs to do.

That said, I think he’s potentially culpable for at least one of the goals today. Not dissimilar to goals at Celtic Park and Dundee, from memory, when he didn’t match a run.

[04Sauzee]

Bournemouth need to sign him 🤪

[weecounty hibby]

Thought he was very good today. Young laddie with lots of talent who will get better. I see him getting blamed for the first two goals but I don't know why. I haven't seen them back, only at the game but its their main striker who scores all their goals so surely a defender should be picking him up?

[cameronw-hfc]

Of course he will. But Triantis has been excellent the past three games, probably our best player in each game, and I agree with Libby Hibby, I think Triantis plays better without Newell.

I don't agree, think he's played well last few weeks but also has shown he can play like that with Newell and Kwon. Killie away he was unplayable, sure he had both of them next to him.

I think it's more down to him playing his first season ad CM in his career so as the season has gone on, he's learned and figured it out more every week.

We look worse on the ball without Newell imo. Feels like Triantis is a one man midfield at times which also makes him stand out more, Newell helps and does a lot of the things he does well also, so it's not as noticeable with the two of them in there

I like Newell and want him back in the team, I'm not saying otherwise. I just think Triantis looks better without Newell and takes up better spaces when Newell isn't there.

[NAE NOOKIE]

He's been very good in the last few games and was excellent today. But at 21 and seemingly getting better all the time even if Sunderland did want to offload him I have a feeling there would be quite a lot of interest, not just from Hibs unfortunately.

[EGL2000]

I've been very critical of him this season and not his biggest fan. However, he has been very good the past couple of games.

[roo62]

I've been very critical of him this season and not his biggest fan. However, he has been very good the past couple of games.
Definitely improving. Still makes a lot of poor choice of passes and lacks pace which will likely be why he is at Hibs level. He is a clever young footballer and his confidence is growing.Defo more to come from him second half of the season

[wookie70]

Triantis is doing really well. Not sure he is near the level of a team looking for Premiership football next year though. Let's see where we and he are at the end of the season

[Green-Hibee-7]

He’s brilliant. Can’t see us getting him on a permanent deal.

[StirlingHibee]

Didn't realise he's only 21. Has been excellent recently and is likely to get better.

[davhibby]

Motm by a mile today. Been absolutely outstanding recently

[Winston Ingram]

He’s a superb player. He’s got 2 and half years left of his deal. No danger will he be here next season

[Unseen work]

I’m hopefully we get him permanent

He’s been brilliant the past month or so, but has he been head and shoulders above everyone else to the point a team like Sunderland will think he’ll start for them? They’re 4th in the championship, 3 points off the top and going for promotion.

I think if they’re brining in a centre mid, it will be someone expensive who they class as quality

I’m hoping there is some Scottish ignorance and they don’t count him doing well here as particularly impressive

Only concern would be other teams take notice and bid more then we can

He would help the huns, put it that way.

[JJP]

I don’t think he’s the finished article and I believe there is more to come from him. Seems to be improving game on game at the moment. Definitely a talented young player and if there is any chance of securing him permanently I hope Hibs are all over it.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Thought that was his best performance in a Hibs shirt today.

He is improving all the time. More and more composed.

The way he moves to turn on the ball to keep it away from the opposition reminds me a bit of Boozy at times.

[cameronw-hfc]

I like Newell and want him back in the team, I'm not saying otherwise. I just think Triantis looks better without Newell and takes up better spaces when Newell isn't there.


I get you, I just think it's more down to him being more comfortable in the role as every game passes.

I think a fit Newell and Triantis could be very decent together, I just don't know how many times we've seen a fit Newell this season as I'm pretty sure a bit like Boyle he's been carrying injuries since the start of the season.

Think Triantis could be a very decent playmaker from deep. Lovely range of passing and very comfortable on the ball, just struggles defensively/tracking runners

They still thought he was a defender in August so hopefully the manager doesn’t see him as a midfielder

[gorgie greens]

No brainer, Newell out of the team

[MacGruber]

He's turned it round superbly and making the likes of me eat humble pie. Would definitely like to keep him but also sign a proper No. 6. For all he's doing well he's still making mistakes for that position - probably it's his man running off him for all 3 goals. He's much better on the ball than off it

[California-Hibs]

Glad this thread was started as it saved me doing one. OUTSTANDING today!

[worcesterhibby]

I think we need to start praying that Sunderland get promoted and are looking for players of a different level to Nectar… it would be great if we could sign him on a permanent deal, but if Sunderland are in the Championship next year, they may well want him back.

[JohnM1875]

Unbelievable today, and to be honest for a good while now. Really don't think we'll be able to afford him, but I wish we could.

Completely different players, but I was getting serious John McGinn vibes from him today. Just in the way that he did a few things and you're just left thinking 'wow'. What a finish for the goal as well!

What about his celebration as well?? Seems to absolutely love being here and the club.

[Allant1981]

Would love to sign him permanently, he is only going to get better, so comfortable on the ball

[HibeeMackenzie]

I am in awe of him

[Hibs90]

It is most definitely worth putting an offer in with a sell on.

I think if he continues to develop and progress in that role he will have a few suitors in the coming years.

I'm convinced now.

[wookie70]

A wee bit quieter in the second half but a fine 90 minutes all told. Fast becoming one of our most important players particularly with Newell not fit. Took his goal exceptionally well and liked the fact you could tell from when he broke free he was never passing it.

[Since452]

I thought he was a crap signing based on last season and prior to November I'd have happily paid for his taxi back down to Sunderland. He's done well since. Credit to him, SDG and the coaching team for the improvement.

[Hiber-nation]

Reminded me of Pat Stanton when he strode through for the goal. He's been excellent recently. Needs to demand the ball more though, he's got so much ability but still lacks a bit of belief.

[Brightside]

He’s an 8 all day long. Need a top class 6 now

[Libby Hibby]

Funny, my dad said the same thing regarding Pat Stanton.

[Glory Lurker]

I think it's a case of enjoy it while it lasts, unfortunately.

[Coach Jon]

Theres a saying in football that you should never fall in love with a Loan player, for obvious reasons.

[Hibees1973]

Clearly Hibs will be trying to sign him.

Sadly though, the better he gets each week, the less chance we will get him permanently.

Enjoy him while he's here.

[Donegal Hibby]

I was delighted when we got him back as I thought he looked good at times last season when moved into midfield. Guys a player.

[Hiber-nation]

Funny, my dad said the same thing regarding Pat Stanton.

Good to hear, I got dog's abuse on here for suggesting Justin Skinner reminded me of a slower less mobile Stanton when we were romping the first division :greengrin

[21.05.2016]

He’s a really classy player. I hope Hibs do everything in their power to sign him. Exactly the sort of player we want, kind of reminds me a bit of Beuzelin.

[Scooter]

If he keeps this up, this could be a move that Bournemouth look at. Which would allow us to keep him a little longer

[Hiber-nation]

He’s an 8 all day long. Need a top class 6 now

For the elderly like me, Jimmy O'Rourke is an 8 and John Blackley is a 6. Mere numbers. I have no idea how this all changed into attacking and defensive midfielders.

[LaMotta]

Imagine how good he'll be in a few years time? Unbelievable technique, dribbling and passing ability.

[Joe6-2]

Was fantastic in the second half

Plays better without Kwon next to him

Kwon needs to go back to Celtic

[JohnM1875]

Kwon needs to go back to Celtic

Still has a part to play and was fine today after coming on. Don’t think we can just cancel loans. I was asking for it as well earlier on mind you. But get why we wouldn’t. Just looks bad and will probably stop us getting loans from parent club again in the future.

[HoboHarry]

My wife tells me she's a 9 and I'm a 2. 😁

[HendoDelivered]

Whens his deal with Sunderland up?

[Paul1642]

Whens his deal with Sunderland up?

2027. We’re not in a strong position here unfortunately. I think their promotion could possibly be the only real chance we have and even then he would probably end up in the championship.

[Wilson]

My wife tells me she's a 9 and I'm a 2. 😁

Well. If you're still married then you are all too aware of one thing. She is right. Always!

[Northernhibee]

Think we genuinely stand no hope of keeping him beyond this season. With a season in the he English championship under his belt (if he continues to develop at the pace he is) then there’s a £10-15m player in there for Sunderland.

Honestly think this lad has the potential to be a decent EPL player.

[Lago]

I think it's a case of enjoy it while it lasts, unfortunately.
Yes unfortunately out of our league

[Lester B]

Was talking to a mate who is a season ticket holder at Sunderland. He reckons Triantis is very far down the pecking there and will be even further down by the end of the January window. They've already secured a loan player from Roma with an option to buy and word is that they are going to push the boat out with more signings to push for automatic promotion. Might fly in the face of the received wisdom here but my mate reckons this has the look of one of those 'undisclosed fee' transfers and there's a strong chance they will be looking to offload him come summer.

Of course maybe not to us but he does seem to be enjoying his football with so here's hoping.

They signed him on a 4 year contract, which suggests they bought him with development in mind.

Just can’t see what your mate says happening.

I think it could come down to what league Sunderland end up in . That doesn’t mean he won’t have other clubs interested in him though going by the way Gray wanted him back I definitely think we will try to sign him .. wither that’s possible I don’t know .

[Crab apple]

I thought that he was immense today. Boyle, Rocky and Iredale were also superb in what was a great team performance, particularly that first half. Happy days. Two months ago I thought that we were certs for relegation!

[EGL2000]

I think it's a case of enjoy it while it lasts, unfortunately.

I actually think we have a chance he does make the occasion mistake where he tries to overplay and with Sunderland doing pretty well he's not getting a game there realistically.

[Carheenlea]

Sunderland will be getting back a better player than the one that left.

We have had quite a good reputation for loan signings in recent years, and while it’s always disappointing when players return home after a successful spell, that good reputation is one where a lot of clubs and players will look upon a loan move to Hibs as an attractive proposition and one that can work well for all parties.

I’d love to see this one made a permanent mind you.

[Unseen work]

Take the 1 million from McCowan and give it to Sunderland for Triantis

We’d double that minimum in a week if we wanted to

I’m sure Sunderland only really view Triantis as a centre half - he’s not really on their radar as a midfielder. I wonder if an excellent loan spell in midfield changes their perception in any way, or not?

[BILLYHIBS]

Looked a million pound player yesterday really classy took his goal really well

Needs to keep that going

[thebausburst]

Got a horrible feeling Celtic will move for him, their fans are apparently talking about him on their forums (just what I heard, nothing I’ve personally read).

[Hibee87]

Can only hope Bournemouth connection comes into play and they have an eye on him for the future, sign him, and loan him back to us for another year. I said at the game yesterday boyle would get mom for his goals, but if not for thenm, I'd give it to triantis. Obviously I was wring and Triantis did get it. Come on leaps and bounds in last 2 months, and only 21 still

[B.H.F.C]

I don’t think the ability has been in question all season. It’s cutting out the mistakes which are becoming less now. Biggest improvement he needs to make is off the ball, still has a tendency to switch of when and drop runners in and around the box.

Goal yesterday was unbelievable. The way he covered the ground once he nicked the ball and just powered away from them wasn’t something I’ve seen from a Hibs midfielder in a long time.

Some goal! Made even better by Sportscene highlighting how bad Halliday was for it. Lovely stuff!

If Ryan Christie can play in the EPL, so can Nector

He has all the physical attributes to make it down there - id be signing him if I was Bournemouth

That’ll probably be what happens in the summer. They might loan him to us tho.

I think they would be very daft not to notice that he is a midfielder now. I also doubt they would have loaned him to us to be used as a midfielder if CB was their plans for him.

As another poster alluded to above, we should enjoy him this season because it’s very unlikely we see him return, however his progress here hopefully gives us a lot of credit for Sunderland and similar clubs to loan to us in future.

We are a step above EFL league 1 teams and championship clubs won’t want to loan to their competitors, so we should be in prime position to loan decent championship players.

It seems like he was never envisaged as a midfielder by Sunderland. Also interesting that the fee was £300k. Not beyond us if they had other plans.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Triantis has turned out to be an excellent addition. Would love it if we could get him permanently. Much might depend on where Sunderland end up next season. Get promoted and I'm not sure he'll be in their Premership thoughts, though I think he'd be a great Championship player for them.

[Unseen work]

The finish for that goal was brilliant, really tough angle with loads to do

Brilliant to read the pass, win it and drive forward too

Runs half the length of the pitch and only seems to take about 6 strides 😅
