I was a huge fan of Jedi (another CCM player) but Triantis is much better with a far higher ceiling. IMnsHO

Sunderland won through to the playoff final. It would (probably) be better for Triantis if they aren't promoted but I reckon he's already good enough to be a squad player in the EPL. Gonna be some player.

Thanks again D. In fact, I've always tried to refrain from promotion on football sites (with the exception of my user name - which I don't always use). I'm mainly here to talk shit with other fans but every now and then someone makes the connection, which is nice. Funnily enough, years ago on...

I voted for him.

It's a tough gig. Since 2010 (when Mr C was published) I've made about $50k from six books. It's not nothing but you couldn't live on it. My problem is that all three of my publishers were tiny little one man operations who outsourced editing, printing etc and had virtually zero marketing...

I wouldn't mind him at Portsmouth (with the exception that our players keep getting injured there). I'd rather seee him part of a Sunderland team that wins promotion next year.

Makes sense but loan or permanent?

Agreed. He has ten times the technique Jedi had, and I was a major Jedi fan.

Crichton has great ideas but I find his execution a little dry sometimes. My fave of his would be Time Storm. Meanwhile, I'm a little embarrassed by Decentric's praise. Thanks D. very generous of you. Glad you're enjoying the book. I've not read it myself for about ten years and idly picked it...

Me too but Triantis (along with Circati) is the best of the new options for the Socceroos - he's a fantastic player and likely to improve with every step up he makes. Still only 21 I think. Even if they do go up, they're likely to lose one or two of their current midfielders and will certainly...

I reckon he's ready for the Championship and that will be the making of him. After that, I reckon he'll be in the EPL by the season after next. Seriously good player.

Given that he's already played for Oz... what issue could there possibly be?

I fear that a conversation has already happened...

Will we really want him or need him? I've said before I've not seen much of him, and what I have seen hasn't greatly impressed me. Is he really that much better than say... Segecic?

What can I say Decentric? I'm humbled by your review. All I can say is that if you're only up to p 155 the best part of the book is still stretching out in front of you. Keep telling everyone though. Vulgar Press were only small with bugger all marketing clout so despite finding a niche...
