We wouldn't go back to the old 4-2-3-1 again would we?

Squad as it stands doesn't really lend itself to it

No way we’ll ditch the back three IMO. We do need to be prepared to be flexible at times I think, or teams will figure out ways to counter it. With the players we have we should be able to flip at certain points in games without too much of an issue.

Or that we are bidding for multiple players at once so if one doesn’t come through we have another option. Would be a bit silly to put all our eggs in one (Aussie/Greek) basket

I suppose that’s a possibility in I’d imagine we will be facing some really stiff competition for Triantis and you’re talking about a million quid to get him , Simons is rated at €700k on transmarkt and again I think there’s other clubs interested in him going by reports . 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 .

I'd hope not as well , like you say we may become predictable. I still trust our recruitment.

We've been pretty predictable since December and few opponents found an answer to it.

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 .

How can we realistically afford Triantis? Surely Sunderland will be wanting north of a million.

Plenty of ways hibs can dress it up

Targets being reached: top 4 finish - pay hull extra cash
Win a cup: pay hull cash
Sell of fee: 20% of sale back to hull for example

I think a max bid hibs would do is £1 million maybe with a few of the above chucked in also, IF we go for it

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.

Not sure Sunderland would agree to us paying Hull for any targets we reach regarding Triantis…

In not even sure what his salary is now that Sunderland are a premiership team.

[04Sauzee]

Seen Hibs have been linked with Zach Mitchell, looked decent in a struggling team last season.

After having a look on the Sunderland forum and seen this thread , guessing because he pulled out of the Aussie squad or something more in it ? 🤔…

At this point they have no more a clue what's happening as we do.

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

The most obvious is cost…..Sunderland, like any club, will want as much as they can get for him, and a championship club would easily outbid us, not to mention overseas clubs.

Also, Sunderland has a newish manager, and it would seem prudent they get him in for pre season training and a couple of friendlies to gauge his current worth before just offloading him.

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.

Just a guy I know said a fee has been agreed with Sunderland, the transfer window is open today.

It's up to Triantis if he wants to hang around Sunderland or if his agent is weighing up other offers and decide later. It's really strange this window, open today but closes on 10 June for the World Club Cup, then opens again on 16 June.

Guess Hibs trying to get some stuff done early as we start European games earlier than hoped.

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.

I don’t think it’s out of the question.

It was clearly Grays favoured formation when he came in. He may view 3-5-2 as nothing more than a means to an end and attempt to get back to what he prefers this summer. He may also of course decide if it’s not broken don’t fix it.

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.

Good point re Sunderlands new manager.

On the cost front, we probably could offer Sunderland an acceptable fee for him. If Nectar wants to sign for us - not necessarily leave Sunderland, only for us - then what other clubs offer for him is by and large not really relevant.

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.

[MJ hibs]

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.

That is strange re the window - didn't realise that

I don't think that affects us though it's it's surely only our transfer window that matters when signing someone

Hope your right on the fee though - it would be a massive part of our team if we can get that done

I was hoping for that before I read it . Sun saying Sevco interested in Jamie Vardy though interest from clubs in Spain and Saudi.

The Blooming analytics must be some machine! A 29 year old from Falkirk - wow.

[Unseen work]

See tbf, the couple of times I’ve watched Bradley Spencer I thought he was a really good player and too good for the level.

Searched him and realised he’s 29 and never played higher than Championship.

Nowt wrong with signing him, but the whole ‘Identified by JTA’ is mental 🤣

They’re really identifying incredible unknown players this lot
