Maybe there is something in this as Hibs Obsever does appear to be a bit like a mouthpiece for the club at times.
I think it was to specifically cater for those clubs in the World Club championship or whatever it is called.Quote:

So our window will be;

Though with Sunderland now being a Premier League club maybe that would change things?
In David / Malky ,I trust.
I would be happy for us to spend most of our transfer budget on Triantis if that would be the case, every player has bad games, thought he was really good for the majority of the season and looked better than the season before.Quote:

He’s a jambo. I’d argue against thatQuote:

I can’t see us taking two at the money it would take to get them , plus the fact that Newell could play that role too .Quote:

St Mirren v Hibs game that ended 2-2 . I remember seeing our formation was down as 3-4-3 that day and thinking how flexible it was to change it to a 3-5-2 or 5-3-2 if needed .Quote:

Maybe things have changed though we did try and get McCowan for a million . I think we will try for Triantis though wither Sunderland are willing to let him go for what we can pay , will their be other clubs interested that he might feel are a better opportunity for him .. who knows.Quote:

I’ve been wrong many times, but I can’t see Triantis signing for us any time soon for a number of reasons.Quote:

Last but not least…given the choice in playing in the EPL or even the Championship would pay him a lot more than we could pay, and these leagues are seen by most neutral commentators…and certainly here in Oz as being further up the ladder than the SPFL.
Most Oz players who come to the SPFL are sold on it being a ‘pathway’ to the English leagues, and despite his enjoyable time at Hibs, I think there is an inner desire to play at what he would see as a higher level.
Only really closes for those in the club World Cup. Everyone else can just carry on. As far as Hibs are concerned the window is open now and we can sign whoever. Just have to wait to register them.Quote:

I definitely don’t think we can rule it out though.
A lot of the games we either lost or drew was down to silly basic errors like red cards or mistakes at the back, Gray moved to a 352 because it suited the players but also it stabilised the defence, also remember it was this time we changed keeper. 4231 I don't think suits Nicky Cadden as he's not really an out and out winger, more of a wide midfielder/wingback and also with this system you need a proper DM, which we don't really have, our midfielders are generally playmakers or box2box type, I can see him staying with 352, if it's not broken don't change it.Quote:

For Triantis, yes he could go to another Championship club but he won't get the chance to play in Europe if he does that, as it stands he's got the chance to sign for us and play 4 European games as a minimum.
I think if all parties are willing we could come to an acceptable agreement for Nectar to come back to Hibs, Sunderland to get a decent sell on fee and Nectar to showcase his talents and follow the John McGinn route to the EPL. Sunderland are already in the EPL, but they are going to have to bring in better players than Nectar to stay there. As good as he's been this season there's no way he's starting PL 11 quality yet.
Nectar has another couple years on his deal at Sunderland? They could just decide to loan him out again.
One more year to develop as a midfielder and possibly play for them when they likely go back down next term.
Reading that thread made me hope they go down with under 10 points next season.Quote:

He's really highly rated at Charlton and done well at St Johnstone by all accounts, think they kept a decent amount of clean sheets after he joined.
Think he’d play right of a back 3 so would be interesting what happens with Miller potentially leaving and who else we’d like for that position - Porteous for example

It will be interesting to see how long he is willing to wait. There might be interest from championship clubs or abroad, but he might be the 2nd/3rd option if they don’t get their main target
It's a short career so I wouldn't begrudge him a move there. That said, he's had a good 6 months and staying with Hibs might be the best option for his career. A three year deal would take him into his prime, and from a Hibs point of view he's a very sellable asset if he continues his form for another season.Quote:

I see Liam Henderson, Egan-Riley and Fletcher are all out of contract, I think the 3 of them would improve our squad especially Fletcher ie Dwight Gayle type roll, not starting every week, great experience for our league and Europe. Just a thought

For the most part they were saying if he made the Scottish Premiership team of the year it would at least be worth holding on to him, even if it meant another loan to the English championship to see if his undoubted progress could be replicated in that league. Not an unreasonable take on things.
The fact is Sunderland, and their fans, have far bigger things to worry about than the merits of a player they had on loan to the Scottish premiership .............. In short, putting together a team strong enough to go to St James's park and not get an absolute pasting, never mind one that can avoid relegation from a league where that's swiftly becoming the norm for promoted teams :greengrin
I think Sunderland getting promoted increases our chances of signing him. He's never going to get in the Sunderland team in the EPL. In the championship he'd have had a chance.
Who signed him for Motherwell?Quote:

Wouldn't think there would be many more bets on a price like this. It's more than likely the price will increase in the next few weeks. Odds can vary wildly over different bookies. Our odds are as low as 40-1 with Betvictor which is nuts.
Agree, feel he's probably looking at bigger clubs than Hibs, shame turned into a good player in midfield.Quote:

I think Hibs will be/are still pursuing Triantis regardless of Simons. Probably NMW moving on I’d assume.
I hoping you are right, I am opened minded about Triantis as long as we haven't heard anything there is still a chance.Quote:
