    It was scary how much better they were in every single department. We were lucky they didn’t get out of second gear

    To be fair I was told a couple days ago we were deciding on what to do with triantis so the report of him pulling out due to club future is accurate to me

    I know this, but was linked with a Greece call up last week and pulled out of Aussie squad (unrelated).

    He hasn’t made a competitive (or senior) Aussie appearance.

    Kind of like Jamal Musiala playing in England youth system and now being Germanys great hope.

    Ah fair. Yeah I genuinely do think this pull out is club related mind

    We were a total mess then as well, our team has come on a long long way since then - still need a big summer window though, everyone agrees in that

    Well absolutely his club future is up for grabs but pulling out of a debut international appearance would seem massively counter intuitive to me. You want that recognition to grow your reputation. There's a long summer to worry about future, especially if we wait to see him in pre season.

    All just seems a bit convenient to me. Think he's considering his international options as much as his club ones.

    Be interesting if he's willing to trade being a forgotten squad player at Bournemouth for being a bench/rotation player here. He's got a better route to being a PL starter at SAFC but maybe he'll see being main man somewhere like Sheffield United as a better option?

    It will be, but he also received an offer from Both Greece and Australia for this international period.

    Think he identifies quite a lot with his Greek side but of course same with Australia, has been pretty pissed off with the Aussie coach for calling him up and never even putting him on the bench.

    Yeah I do to mate, that’s why I put unrelated in.

    He is listed as ‘of Greek descent’ looking at it looks like they are almost a pure bred Greek family that relocated to Oz (where he was born)

    My whole point was if he caps for a European nation it could add value.

    But you agree we have improved since then, and all our players will all be challenged to step forward again?

    I wouldn't call it "responding in kind"; but we can agree to disagree.

    I responded in kind, are you suggesting your initial post wasn’t with a hint of sarcasm?

    Apologies if somehow the response has offended you like; I felt it was pretty mild (and factually accurate)

    Nectar has had a really productive season with Hibs,playing in a position we need to strengthen,excellent reviews. Still young,contract for another couple of years,been out on loan,I think I'd be having a good look at him in pre-season to see if he can make the squad.

    KWP, Merlin, Singo and Mepham would add serious cover for our backline imo

    That is all well and good, but do you have a similar situation the following season?

    A lot better for the club as you stay stable in the premier league and keep recieving the money and don't need a massive rebuild because of relegation

    We linked with Walker-Peters anywhere?

    Screams out at me as a good option.
