Aberdeen 3-3 he was very good, could have scored 2. He's also been playing through an injury for a decent amount of time, not mentioning the off field calls he made to help turn us around.
Joe has been a good captain in his short time so far and a good player for us over his Hibs career, albeit a bit inconsistent

I’ve changed my opinion of him .

In truth I think we are lucky to have him and hopefully he’s back raring to go for the new season.
No disrespect to anyone though I hope we make a signing soon which might lighten the mood on here.
Ah I thought it might’ve been thatQuote:

Not seeing any news on the Vente transfer front? I was hopefully the move to Heerenveen would have gone through, but it seems all quiet. Surely the mooted 2 million euro fee would cover Triantis's transfer and signing on fee?
If we get Triantis back, I would say we have the strongest midfield, outside of the Old Firm, good strength in depth in all positions across the five.
It's a no brainer to splash out on Nectar. He's already shown what he can do and will only improve with experience. I'm not sure where his ambitions lie, but regular football in a good performing side like Hibs, it's the best place for him to develop.
Makes a change from Porteous 😂Quote:

His national team manager has been quoted Triantis wanted to be released from national team duty as he has a lot on his mind.
The squad are due back for pre season training this week. It's Triantis goal to be in the Australian World Cup squad so he needs a full pre season preparation. Hibs will also want him prepared and ready for our early European ties.
Triantis is one who we will have pushed the boat out for, but given him a deadline to decide.
I have no doubt he will have more lucrative and exotic options on the table. It's whether he and his agent decide if Hibs fit best with his career path. There is no doubt that if he spends the next year or two with us and progresses as he has, then he will get to a higher level. But he may decide to take the jump now, but will start from scratch at a new club which comes at a higher risk.
Hibs will know the fee and Triantis' terms and what's required already. If we can't match them, then moving on swiftly is sensible.Quote:

Yes, we could be blown out of the water wages wise. Depends on how much and if we are willing to offer him daft wages, which could cause disrupt squad morale.
He needs to be a starter wherever he goes.
Big year for him with the world cup around the corner.
Hope this helps us, as Boyle,miller and iredale will be watched often.

Hearts squad must be huge right now. Maybe I’m seeing the same signings reported a few times without noticing, but i swear they have signed around 8 players.
They also seem to be mostly foreign which goes against McInnes’ usual squad dynamic.
Give me 2-3 quality signings over Jamestown scattergun any day.

I’m still pretty happy where we’re at. If you think of the squad at this point last year it’s night and day. We go to Holland two weeks today, that’s the date I’d be looking at having 3 or 4 added to what we currently have. Whether that is renewals, additions or a mix of the two. Europe only 5 and a bit weeks away and really want us to be ready for it this time.Quote:

There possibly could be something it, apparently a Leeds Utd player spotted training with Sunderland. Maybe the 49ers are using him as part of a deal to get Triantis to Rangers. Just thinking out loud, so then again there could be nothing in it.Quote:

Absolute hee haw reason to link this to Triantis.
Hibs Central posted this yesterday where I assume
It was pulled from the private board -
Heerenveen open club to club negotiations & submit initial bid in excess of €2M for Dylan Vente, with player giving the green light to move
Talks ongoing & if all goes smoothly, could be completed early next week
Heerenveen moving fast to avoid a bidding war with other clubs

Does a bidding war ever happen these days? The other teams will just offer the same amount we accept from Heerenveen (if we do/have) and hope they can offer him a better contract.Quote:

I was just saying tongue in cheek tbh. I suspect you are right though, bidding wars would only be up to the point a club accepted an offer, then after that the bidding war would be between clubs and the players wages. If talks are indeed advanced then you'd imagine our price for him is well knownQuote:

Instead we've got a situation where a guy who was missing sitters vs Queens Park and St Mirren (after drawing a blank vs Kelty) might bring in the exact figure we need to sign Triantis, at just the right time.
I'm ok with all of that

Ordinarily I'd be agreeing - just think we have a pragmatic set of "considerations" (I might even call them problems to solve) in June 2025Quote:

Either way, I trust the board more now than I did a year ago
* Vente's value has rocketed compared to what I was seeing in July 2024
* We were all gutted to miss out of McCowan and there was a lot of "what's Triantis going to do?" in August 2024. The guys at the club who insisted on Triantis knew what they were doing
Its a valid point. We never know what lies a head. I have. To laugh when it comes to the folk who write off players before they are in the door based on a few poor performances. I think Porteous is a classic example of this. I've been guilty of it in the past.Quote:

Whereas almost all our activity was on getting non-starters out the building (Amos, McKirdy etc)

Getting Rocky signed up and Triantis back would be huge and I'm sure the club will be pulling out all the stops to make it happen. We need to try and keep that continuity and maybe add a couple more quality additions. McGrath will be a good signing based on his return to the Aberdeen team after injury.
At this point last year I reckon most of us would have been very apprehensive given our transfer dealings for the previous 2-3 years.Quote:

There are a few on here disappointed with only two new signings so far and the players return from pre season training this Friday. As you said moving ineffectual players out is as important.
Much as we cannot get complacent, there is a fair bit more confidence on hibs.net that our squad will be upgraded on last season.
A few MLS outfits interested in Porteous
All fair comment. This time , the fans want to see Hibs build on what's here, unlike the last time when many felt Ross wasn't fully supported to do that when we last finished third.Quote:

I also think there's a sense that our Black Knights tie up should see us signing players with bigger fees attached to them. Triantis being a case in point. There's a widespread feeling that he will go onto have a very good career, let's speculate to accumulate on him, without all the risk associated with some signings (like Vente). He's already proven what he can do at our level and in the type of football played up here.
All of us dream of a Hibs side that sustain a high level of performance. We have the manager, the bulk of a squad and the wider set up to do it, I'm more optimistic about this than I have been for many a year.
Would be a good move for him if true.Quote:
