I'm more disappointed about this than most seem to be. I thought we were just starting to see the best of him.Quote:

This Dutch journalist seems to be indicating that Vente to Heerenveen is done:

Both lefties as wellQuote:

It is a strange one because he really was struggling come the end of his Hibs career. I thought he started really well and looked a real quality player. However, after his brilliant last season in Holland if he wasn't a Hibs player currently there would be absolutely no chance of us signing him.Quote:

If we signed him would he get a game?Quote:

We might be able to use any fee we get for him to put towards Rocky and Triantis but even if we did get them back that would only see us in the same place that we were at the end of last season. In fact in a weaker place if Hoilett didn’t return.
He might if Rocky doesn’t sign. He is a decent player but he isn’t a Rocky or. Porto.Quote:

Still think there’s hope that the 1m fee quoted is wrong as only a few days ago there was a quoted fee of 2m.
I suppose that’s really the point I’m making in if we signed him as a replacement for Rocky I think a lot of us would be disappointed in he wouldn’t be a signing that would improve us , not saying he’s a bad signing but certainly one I wouldn’t be overly excited about either . I’m sure some would have concerns about him missing over 30 games last season in all .Quote:

Not within our budget but what a signing he would be.
I'd imagine he will get a crack at another foreign team.
They can sign as many players from Kilmarnock as they like. The more the merrier. Killie were rotten last season.Quote:

Been on the Sunderland forum again ( on it a lot ) 🤢 and the general opinion from their fans is they should hang onto Triantis and have a look at him . In saying that they are getting linked with midfielders Isaac Price and along with a host of other clubs one called Habib Diarra …

Isn’t that their 2nd or 3rd signing from the Championship?Quote:

Considering how poor and anonymous he was for us, I’ll be doing cartwheels to recoup what we paid (just like with the Melkersen deal).Quote:

The thing about him not getting the right quality balls was bull**** as Myziane didn’t have a problem and reeks of throwing team mates under the bus. Him being expected to drop deep and put a bit of effort in wasn’t playing him out of position - look at Gayle and where he starts in the move for his Tynie goal.
Also worth remembering that the same place we were at the end of last season was comfortably the second best team in Scotland and close to matching Celtic. If €1m gets us back to the position we were then then it’s a truly fantastic deal.
I would say currently yes. If Rocky resigned then no.Quote:
