I remember there was some chat about Greece calling Triantis up, wonder if that could be an option for him?

Think it was Cyprus wasn’t it?

I would be amazed if Triantis can't break into that squad eventually. Considering the general standard he's up against is A-League or MLS level lads with a Jackson Irvine in there I'd back Nectar to get himself in there within the next 6 months at best. It wasn't that long ago Keanu Baccus was playing World Cup games for them, I expect Triantis to be too.

If he keeps progressing as he has this season he’ll get caps, not a problem.

Plenty players are in multiple squads before they get a cap.

Think it is Greece. Think he's still some way of playing for them to be honest. They have some real talented players in there squad right now.

If he doesn’t have an international career Fred all I can say is Australia must have some serious talent in midfield. I think Triantis has been outstanding and at 21 he’s got massive potential. Ryan Teague rings a bell for some reason wither I seen him play or you mentioned him before I can’t remember , one we should look at as an alternative to Triantis possibly? 🤔 .

Couldn’t afford him I reckon.

He has definitely improved this season at Melbourne Victory and I guess what is important is what the new national coach thinks of him.

Popovich has publicly praised him after the last batch of WC games…so that suggests he rates him.

[04Sauzee]

According to Scott Burns

Portsmouth could rival Hibs in the race to sign Nectarios Triantis.

The Championship new boys were keen on the Aussie before his loan to Easter Road and remain impressed by his form this season.

As I said in another post Popovich has arranged a training camp in late May in Abu Dabi prior to their 2 WC qualifiers in June.

Selection for it could be a guide as to whether Popovich rates him or not.

It may take him a bit of time to break the barrier and no one ever really should walk into an international set up first call up. But as you say after this camp will give a better indication of where he sits in the pecking order.

Ajax podcast linking Dylan Vente with them. Could be quids in, 3 million minimum please!

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Triantis will be in demand. Efl championship clubs will be all over him you'd imagine

Assuming Bournemouth have access to our analytics I'd like them to have a look over and see what they think his trajectory is like and whether buying him is viable

[JeMeSouviens]

Why wouldn't Sunderland keep him? If they make it up and don't see him as Prem material, loan him back to us again.

No surprise at all. To score as many goals as he has for a team at the bottom end of the table is an outstanding return.

It’s a real shame it wasn’t last summer we signed him. He’d be banging them in for us if we had. In the end it was Montgomery that got his hands on him and ruined him.

Do we need a set number of Scottish or academy players in the squad next season if we are in Europe? If that is the case ( not saying it is 😁) will that affect our recruitment?

Let’s get Brian Graham back just in case.

Fingers crossed he’s next years Dwight Gayle.

Yes - in a Europa League/Conference 'A' squad of 25 you need 8 home grown players. 4 must have come through Hibs academy and 4 through other Scottish clubs and the other 17 from the rest of the UK or abroad.
Currently we have 3 that have come through other Scottish clubs - the Cadden twins & Boyle (another reason to keep him). The 4 that have come through our academy could possibly be Campbell, Molotnikov, Megwa & Oscar MacIntyre.

Does Bowie count?

It's a bit back of the fag packet maths from me and I won't pretend to be an expert in the finer details of the rules as things can change depending on when your birthday is, but as it stands from players who are first teamers only and not looking at academy lads we would be looking at -

Smith
Ekpiteta
O'Hora
Iredale
Obita
Miller
Chris Cadden (Locally trained 1/8)
Nicky Cadden (Locally trained 2/8)
Joe Newell
Dylan Levitt
Manneh
NMW
Jamie McGrath
Josh Campbell (Locally trained 3/8 + club trained 1/4)
Rudi Molotnikov (Locally trained 4/8 + club trained 2/4)
Elie Youan
Kieron Bowie (Locally trained 5/8)

If we were to retain Martin Boyle we would move up to 6/8 locally trained players. This likely means we'd need to add in guys like Megwa and Murray Johnson to take us up to the full 4/4 and 8/8. Otherwise you leave a spot empty for in your registration to make up for the lack of eligible players.

That being said players under 21 do not have to be registered so there is scope for us to go out and sign a couple players who can fill up that quota without having to use the space on lads who don't actually need to be registered.

Bowie wouldn't count as he was at Raith Rovers for only 2 years and you needed to have spent at least 3 years at a club between the ages of 15-21.

Each club must include at least 2 goalkeepers on List A and 3 in total so Murray Johnston could go on the B list if we sign another goalkeeper to challenge for the number 1 spot next season.

You can only have a maximum of 4 club trained & 4 association trained players - currently we have 3 association trained players - the Cadden twins & Boyle so we can only sign 1 more association trained player for the Euro squad of 25. If you don't register the full 8 players (4 club trained or 4 association trained players) then your squad size reduces accordingly.

I think Bowie will be fine as seasons 17/18, 18/19 and 19/20 will all count towards his locally trained status before he moved to Fulham. It is not required that the player has to have trained all 3 years at the same club. So his time at Fife Elite and 2 years with RR combined is enough.

Sorry as a minimum up to 4 places are reserved exclusively for club trained players but if we don't register the full 4 players then the squad size is reduced down from 25 accordingly.

I’m not sure on the wording but maximum is not my understanding of it. We need a minimum of 4 club trained between 15-21 and an additional 4 who are also just association trained between 15-21. Anyone club trained is obviously automatically association trained.

He won’t have to be registered due to his age. The 25 man squad is for those over 21 so we have room to add names.

As it stands we’ll have a squad of 19 players over the 21 age limit that will need to be registered next season. That includes Jair, Vente, Elie, and Delferriere who I imagine will all not actually be here or part of the squad, so 15. 16 if Boyle stays.

Lets assume they all leave, Boyle stays and Holiett resigns too then we have scope to go out and add about 6 players who do not fit any registration criteria. This will be likely need to be used for -
Back up keeper.
Rocky replacement.
Gayle replacement.
Triantis replacement?
Mykola replacement?

Of course all those guys could stay next season, but they’d still fill the slots in the squad registration and not contribute to the quota. That doesn’t actually leave us much room to sign anyone else to ADD to the squad we already have. We’d have about two more slots for new signings to take us to 23 and leave 2 open for the lack of eligible club trained players over the age limit.
