I think he's the kind of player Rangers would both sign and play regularly.

We’re not letting him go to the Rangers

Triantis? Doubt we'll have much say. Highly doubt he'll be back at us being honest. If his agent does his job properly, he'll get a few offers in the summer

What I would love to see is Bournemouth buying Triantis from Sunderland and loaning him to us for the season.

He then gets European experience and develops in his best position.

At only 21 he definitely has time to develop into a Premiership player.

Will Bournemouth take a punt?

One for tim bazbatchenko to intervene on maybe?

If his agent is being honest about his client’s priorities then we could be in with a very decent shout of getting him back here next season.

It’s easy to downplay our offering, but right now and next season we may well be the closest to exactly what he is looking for.

We’ve recently tried to buy two players for just over £1m. I don’t know how much it’d cost us to buy him ourselves but it’s not impossible it could be around that mark.

I’d like us to see if we can buy him ourselves before needing the black knights to do it for us. Obviously depending on the cost that may not be an option. Anything from £1m to £1.5m with a decent sell on % would be possible for us I’d have thought if we make the group stages of European football.

No chance they would do that with strict FFP rules down south.

Not sure how this contravenes FFP. Bournemouth bought Alex Paulsen and then loaned him to Auckland. Same thing?

It doesn’t contravene FFP/PSR, but Bournemouth paying a fee for Triantis would contribute to their spending under FFP/PSR. The amount Bournemouth have available to spend under FFP/PSR currently is very tight, they aren’t going to be buying players for other teams.

Just give us the money to buy him and get him in the group. Problem solved.

Do they not have a young player who is going to be sold to one of the big English clubs at the end of the season?

That will surely help.

Also they would not be buying him for Hibs but for themselves to take back and this would form part of their development.

[GreenCastle]

Triantis with European football on his CV definitely adds value to his transfer value also.

Reckon it’s 50/50 if he returns - ideally with us in Europe !

[Ribs1875]

Triantis has been a integral part of the streak. I think it's unlikely he is going to be with us next season. As much as he would be a loss, I think we would learn to live without him. There are plenty of players I am sure we will be in the market for. Triantis despite a slow start, has made us forget about Marcondes.

We are anticipating losing a few key players through contract expiry and transfer fees, but it's not the end of the world. It enables existing players and youth to step up. The fact we are on course to finish strongly makes me enthusiastic about our recruitment this summer coming.

I'm not suggesting that they buy him for Hibs. More that they see him as having the potential to play for Bournemouth in the future and therefore make an investment akin to the one they made with Alex Paulsen.

Paulsen signed for*a reported initial fee of £850,000, rising up to £2 million*on a 4 year contract.

Would that sort of deal interest Sunderland?

Do Hibs have the buying power to put together something like this?

Would we be able to match Triantis' wage demands?

I sincerely hope that he is a Hibs player next season. Really rate the guy. Gives me Scott McTominay and Declan Rice vibes with the way he runs very upright scanning the field.

I can’t see Bournemouth doing anything like that. They may have infinitely better resources than us but their squad size is nowhere near the size of the big players in their league. By Premiership standards they are a fairly lean operation, buying players and instantly putting them out on loan will be more of a rarity than the norm for them.

Unlike in previous years I am pretty confident that we have people in place now pre-planning for the potential loss of what Triantis brings with alternatives already identified. I want him to stay but won’t be too despondent about it if he goes.

McKirdy scored more goals in that league than Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney. Should probably judge players as individuals on their own merits rather than tarring every player with the same brush based simply on where they came from.

Wasn't brushing anyone with the Harry McKirdy brush, I just meant we have been stung before from that league.

Of course good players can come from anywhere.

Re your point though, Watkins and Toney were kids at 20 and 18 respectively when they played in that league. McKirdy was in his prime at 24/25.

Is Manneh not meant to be Triantis replacement?

They also had significantly better goals to games ratios in that league than McKirdy. McKirdy had a better season than either of them ever managed, but over their short careers in League Two they were way more productive than McKirdy was.

The player DH shared the link of is the same age as Watkins was.

If we dismissed players simply based on bad previous experiences with players from the same division we would rule out most leagues.

League 2 Records

Toney 1 goal every 255 mins
Watkins 1 goal every 246 mins
McKirdy 1 goal every 205 mins

To quote myself "of course good players can come from anywhere".

I'm not disagreeing with you. Maybe this player will go on to great things.

I don't see it happening anyway but I doubt £1m for Triantis will be much concern to Bournemouth. Probably will take in £80m+ on Kerkez and Semenyo this summer.

[Unseen work]

That lad from Salford surely won’t be coming here.

Salford will likely be paying him a decent amount and championship teams will be well aware of him.

My concern is if he only costs 1 million there will be plenty other clubs in for him.

Wouldn’t surprise me if both old firm were interested and a load of championship clubs

you can be absolutely sure that Rangers do see us as a threat next season. If they can take a key player away from us, they will. I just hope Triantus looks at the state of The Rangers and sees his future elsewhere ( Easter road ideally)
