To turn that on its head, was 1 season of Vente worth £1m to Hibs?Quote:

Boyle, Youan, Bowie, Tavares are what we are left with and potentially Hoilett.
Youan I hope we can get rid this summer, but doubt clubs are interested or stupid enough. He could still do a job, but he is also one who is out of contract and we paid a fair bit of money for.
Tavares is simply not good enough, and needs moved on ASAP. Also out of contract next season.
Hoilett is 35, out of contract so will need to wait and see what happens.
We are in need of 2 strikers in the coming weeks.
No and I’m not disputing the Vente fee, I’m happy we’ve moved him on for a profit. I’m challenging the idea that a player is only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. That’s their market value, it’s not their worth. We’ve had plenty of players with a worth greater than what anybody would likely be willing to pay for them.Quote:

I think we have to make a distinction between worth as in sales value, and the scenario you describe.Quote:

Very positive-sounding article in the BBC regarding Bushiri and Triantis:
Head coach David Gray revealed Hibernian have held positive talks as they bid to secure the services of Rocky Bushiri and Nectar Triantis for the upcoming season.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/czjk7r11y87o
These two are so pivotal, stay and we just need to add up top, don't come back then its all go to find replacements and I'm sure they have options. Triantis has still got Hibs and Sunderland on his bio, so there's hope 😊Quote:

Clearly loves us and only a matter of time if you ask me :greengrin
Is that not basically what's been said for the last week or two? "We're having positive discussions with the players, blah, blah, blah..."Quote:

I think Rocky and Triantis are signing
SDG always strike me as quite reserved and doesn’t give much away, for him to say we’ve had really positive talks and should know next couple of days and then positive with Triantis too makes me think they’re coming.
Maybe just wishful thinking 🤣
Observer says over £1 million.Quote:

Yes I agree. But the BBC article is regurgitating old news about "positive talks", it's not offering any additional information, which is the point I was trying to get across.Quote:

I would be all for putting the money gained from the Dylan Vente deal straight into contracts for these two. They are both pivotal players for me.Quote:

Just an idea.
Youan and Boyle were excellent away to Aberdeen with Campbell sitting behind themQuote:
