If he wasn’t picked up by Jamestown analytical team, we dodged a bullet

We should only go for their targets

No need for that even if he does live in Musselburgh. :bitchy:

Aren’t we playing them in a friendly as well?

No need to give referees an excuse to red card Porto - big Malky could cement him as he enters the building for wasting his time....

Unfortunately for us they pay a lot more than us ‘ also just signed Sam Dolby

:thumbsup:

Best of luck Logan!

Bermuda is a tiny place, they seem to over perform in producing good footballers though.

Bolton saying they paid around £300k and Hull saying they got £500k . Had a feeling we miss out on him after what he was saying in an interview he done when he mentioned his family.

Hopefully not a window of missing out on targets for us.

Rather Triantis than Xavier 🤞

Inevitable consequence if we’re going for a better standard of player. TV deal for lower league clubs in England make it very difficult to compete with them.

We’ve definitely got selling points dross like Bolton can’t offer, there’s no question in some cases we will lose out though.

Better that than signing crap nobody else wants.

I doubt that. So far got McGrath and Salinger in. We won't know for sure who is a definite target and who is just put out there by the twitterati, but I'm sure we'll get players in who'll make a difference.

A lot will be made up of appearances, international caps, etc.

No way will Hibs pay £1.5million up front or in total

Probably depend how it was paid no doubt over a number of milestone payments.

Or BKFC fund it

With Triantis it's not just the 1.5 million fee, he'll be, quite rightly, demanding a wage to match that transfer fee.

Let's say it's 8k a week on a 4 year deal, with bonuses that's 2 million a year in wages plus the transfer fee you're looking at an outlay of 3.5 million to get Triantis in.

That's a lot of money to Hibs, Gray and Mackay will know better than anyone on here whether that's value for money but if we don't get him you can understand why looking at those figures.

8k a week is 400k a year.

Well, slightly more, but yes around that.

Including bonuses it would probably be not far off 2 million over 4 years. Just realised my previous post said 2 million a year, meant to say over the 4 years.

He meant 2m over 4 years wages inc bonus. 3.5m including transfer fee.
It seems a lot but if he performs and we sell after 2 seasons for 3m we could make 1/2m and have had a good player for a couple of years for free. He could also be rubbish..

I hope so, he's a players I think would take back.

Is there any logic to taking in two different targets at say £600k or £700k would make us even stronger as opposed to buying Triantis even though he is quality? .

---

Who are these two targets for the price of a Triantis? Our midfield is already pretty stacked. I’ve said it before, I’m convinced our board will push the boat out for SDG this summer. If 1.5m is what it takes to secure Triantis, that’s what we’ll pay. One thing about the Gordons is that they have backed every manager with cash. And there’s nothing that’s been said recently to indicate that will change. Our transfer record is likely to be smashed this window - possibly more than once.

I’d suggest that’s highly unlikely. The guy is only going to get better.

Think the good thing is that we know what we’re getting


We could still shell Vente style money on an alternative centre mid but it would be more costly as he’s not good or doesn’t contribute etc

Heard locally that of the offers given to him Mulligan has decided on Rangers

Yeah, agreed.

Not saying it's a bad signing if it happens, but the total cost of bringing Triantis to Hibs would likely be one of the highest revenue outlays the club has ever had to make on a player.

If it happens I think everyone will be happy but at the same time if it doesn't, I can understand the reasoning.
