Transfer Rumour Hayden Hackney (10 Viewers)

Not weird, I’ve said before I would prioritise physicality over technical attributes.

You were not happy first season back in championship when we passed the balls about.

We stayed up comfortably

I agree, but in the centre of midfield ie the most physically demanding part of the pitch where you’re fighting for possession, I’d prioritise an athlete rather than a technician.

In the article itself it states we are prioritising athletic players for midfield. Just mentions club will look at Hackney if Boro stay down. Think he’s clearly a player Lampard rates

I would like a technician with physicality.

Spurs can't keep the ball despite spending about a billion pounds, basically

I've never understood the oft-repeated bollocks about recruiting athletes and then attempting to teach them how to play football.

2bf that’s what Sunderland have done and built them around Xhaka

We ain’t signing Hackney, it just isn’t happening.
I can’t see Doug spending £25m on a player because that’s what Boro will expect

Is it just me who doesn't think he's that good?

You just need to look at Middlesbrough's recent results without him.
They aren't a 1 man team, but he is definitely a massive part in the way they play.

Hes a top player, that id love to see here, but he doesn't play in the areas where I think we should be prioritising (Although he is way better than Allen, Torp, and Eccles) and he is young enough to develop further.

Imagine a midfield of Grimes and Hackney,

Grimes, passes to Hackney, passes to Grimes, back to Hackney. Holds it....holds it...........holds it

Don’t get why people (including Boro fans) think that when they accepted £20m last summer and he’s got a year less left on his contract now

Simpsons was the first thing in my mind straight away

Cause let’s face it, the league will give him player of the year and that adds value.
I just can’t see them giving it to a keeper, it will literally crush their souls having to do so

Anyone curious we may go for Hamer? Fairly cheap, experienced the prem and loves us. No idea if Frank likes him but it does feel like an easy signing now and he’s defo good enough.

just extend the last 2 min at Blackburn over a whole season. 38 pts, stay up on GD, we go again.

Can’t see us going for Hackney. They’ll want too much for him.

I think we’ll still make foreign signings etc

Already 28 so will have limited resale value. I know we don't do everything based off resale value but I would be surprised if we went in for Gus.

Accepted £20m last summer. Now he only has 1 year left on his deal.

I think £15m would be a good investment.

Can only see it if he was very cheap.
