Did you watch Triantis last season? How can you not think we won’t make our money back - and then some - on him? You’ve mentioned the likes of Vente and Melkersen. Triantis can’t be compared in any way to those signings.
I think we certainly can make our money back, he's a fantastic player. But lets flip the thinking on it for just a second, he's now available for lets say an asking price of £1.5m after a standout break through season here. He's 22 so is a fantastic age for a lot of these clubs to take a punt on now, and as others have said there's a World Cup next summer to inflate his value potentially.

Why are we so sure that there will be a massive line of clubs waiting to take him from us for double that price in 12/24 months, if they perhaps aren't already there in this window?

As others have said it's a risk and the club will have to weigh up how much risk it's willing to take on. If the club are absolutely certain that at the very least they can get him tied down on a 5 year deal and have a great player for Hibs for 5 years and maybe beyond to help us reach our goals in that time then that's probably worth £1.5m on its own. But if the club are looking at it with the end goal of being flipping him for profit then there's a lot to consider and weigh up.
