Hayden Hackney 10:14 - Jul 19 with 4282 views | danchances22 | Reported interest early this week and nothing since? Are we waiting for Omari deal to be confirmed before going any further? Seen a few boro fans extremely concerned about their transfer business so far this window. |  | | |  |

No, that was Morsy. Not sure where things are with Hackney beyond us making an approach. |  | |  |

Yep. Transfers seem to take weeks to complete now. |  |

I've assumed that while McKenna is out in Austria running the rule over the returning squad, no business is going to get over the line this past week. Hoping something will happen next week. |  | |  |

I think Luke Werhun deals with most of the contract negotiations these days. Even if it was Ashton leading on it I doubt he'd be off his phone just because he was in Austria. |  |

Exactly. It would be nuts to lose a week and maybe miss out on player(s) whilst other clubs tried to do a deal. Someone was around to reject the Omari bid. |  | |  |

Of course not. And yes I'm aware of the roles of Messrs Ashton and Werhun. But acquiring a player these days is a complex and full-on business where the Manager is crucial and he's in the process of assessing the squad and bedding in two new players. |  | |  |

I'd be amazed if that impacted on our ability to complete a deal. Agree that McKenna has a key role to play but even with 3 training sessions a day I'm sure he's still conducting lots of conversations with prospective targets. |  |

McKenna, in response to questions about transfers: 'My focus has been here with the group.' 'My full focus really has been on the group that's here.' Just sayin'! |  | |  |

Not sure what else you would expect him to say really |  |

They’ve probably always taken a long time to complete but now, there are so many football gossip sites, that it gives the impression that things take longer. |  | |  |

I think it’s extremely rare that McKenna (or any manager in fact) is indeed these days involved in the negotiations of a transfer. So McKenna will be right, his focus was on the group this week and if a club granted permission for a player to talk with us, it’s at that point he’d become involved. Everything else is left with Werhun and Ashton. |  |

I'm not suggesting he would be directly involved in the negotiations as such. My point was that it would be unlikely a transfer would get OVER THE LINE while McKenna was away, which involves a whole range of conversations across the triumvirate of Werhun, Ashton and McKenna. But I'll stop there. |  | |  |
Hayden Hackney on 10:50 - Jul 20 with 1048 views | PioneerBlue | Is the 7 day rule a thing at elite level? If so sounds like we aim to speak with him this week coming before concluding a deal with Boro. He may have other genuine suitors though and we are therefore not at the front of the queue, it difficult to know whether other PL club interest is real or more then agent pushing the narrative. |  |
