From a professional standpoint he's not the first to say it. 

Bosnich could have been best in the world if he had actually cared. Instead he flamed out. 

Was probably top five in the world during his Villa days, but got too friendly with Dwight Yorke.

Then he got too fat.

That's the jump. Jedi did that at EPL level. I remember reading statistically he was one of the best in the world at intercepting from the big 5 leagues at one point. It's a great effort from Triantis but it's a big leap to Jedi's level.

I can't wait to see how he continues developing because if he can do that role consiatently it could be massive for the NT. Traintis sitting in front of Souttar and Circati, Bos at LB could be a great defensive foundation. 

And Jedi did it all at a slow jog... Just goes to show that timing is everything.

just need a rb to come good and we could be tough to break down. Could also play bos in front of farrell against stronger opponents

Thats crazy since he only played half a season. If he can ball win at championship level while being better than jedi on the ball he could be an interesting prospect

I wouldn't say I have an eye for these things but can offer my take. Triantis was excellent at breaking up play. I later read he had the most interceptions (12) and ball wins (31) of any player in the SPFL this season. He had 16 loose ball gains and 12 second ball wins.

I thought his first touch could be heavy sometimes. A much better dribbler than I realised. Good at passing sideways and switching play. Not very successful with forward passes. Dominant from his position in the air. There was a lot of that in this game which would inflate his stats. 

I'd be interested how he'd go with the ball played on the ground more. And better ball movement. That game was so scrappy, it leant into his strengths. I can't wait to see how he goes against Rangers/Celtic.

It’s such a hard way to predict these things but all players if not most have good potential to have good careers, like anything in football you need things to go a players way I.e the right club, manager and no long term injuries. 

Yeah it is, but i guess that is why u need to play the numbers game. If a league expands to 16 teams that will boost the pool by a quarter. An nst should boost it again

I wonder if the birth year of 2003 is going to be the new normal or whether its a particularly good year. If we string 5 years in a row as good as 2003 we probably produce a generation that can compete with the club careers of the gg

Defenders:  Circati, Simmons, Paull, Natta

Mids: Robertson, Holman, Triantis, Valadon,

Forwards: Toure, Volpato, Rodriguez, Dukuly, Drew, Grimaldi, Reec,

For some context Sergi Busquets was a centre back for Barcelona’a youth team and then when Pep coached him at Barca B he turned him into a No.6 and the rest is history as they say…

The point is it could be a blessing in disguise for Triantis’s career if he moves into a No.6, a pivot is hard to find who have the physical and technical attributes so it will be to see how he will go there.

We also don’t many pure No.6s so it might be an opportunity for him to get into the national fold as well.

It's a mixed bag of players. There's a lot to play out with those careers. I'm confident in Circati, Volpato and Robertson. I like Triantis too. The rest I think if we hit one in four we'd be doing really well. 

a quarter is probably about right - but that's still 7 decent players in a single year. You would have to go back to 1980 to find a better birth year

Triantis the highest-rated Hibs player on FotMob. Hibs fans on Twitter praising his quality as a DM and are adamant that it’s his best position now and should be his permanent position.

Not a bad thing for the Socceroos tbh as we don’t really have many out-and-out DM destroyer types. We have a surplus of box-to-box central midfielders but it’s not quite the same.

Triantis could potentially fill that classic Jedinak role of dominating the midfield from a defensive perspective. 

How awesome would that be. I could see Triantis having a Milligan level career, maybe better.

ThAts really good to read. I think his got heaps of potential and if you can get him on the team sheet with circati and souttar in centre backs that's a good spine
