The biggest challenge here is they probably don't want to wait too long to take a risk in such an important position in our system, but equally and understandably Triantis has to take time to consider all his options and they probably are nowhere near complete at this moment. The biggest challenge is guys like Triantis often don't move till later in window unless a really top level offer comes in, certainly if Sunderland are looking to loan him again they may want a decent say in where he goes, and want to see what comes to the table.
Its a really tough one for Hibs to be fair, probably alongside Boyle in most important position to fill. I assume we want to have this bedded in long before European games.
