Hayden Hackney - Alan Nixon… 07:59 - Jul 27 with 45855 views | Kieran_Knows | … £20m offer in to Middlesbrough for him and we are offering £35k a week to Hackney himself. Edit - also mentions that whilst he is yet to be tempted by the offer as he wants a Prem move, but no Prem club is offering what we are in terms of fee and wages. [Post edited 27 Jul 8:06]

Hayden Hackney - Alan Nixon… on 14:53 - Jul 28 by portmanking | If it doesn't, it does sound like we couldn't have done much more to try. I did wonder whether we would be throwing in a player to sweeten the deal. Sticking in Broadhead at a £5m valuation + £20m might not be the worst move to get one of our less-fancied 10s off the books and aid us in getting Hackney. |
Off the books? Making it sound like a contract dump when he could command a GBP7-8M fee on his own to an ambitious club at this level. We should only do that if we are happy to go to 25M+ for Hackney, which I doubt we would be. I think Boro have accepted our offer at this point, it is the player that will need to be persuaded or is stalling to see if any late PL interest. |  | |  |

Which clubs at this level are paying £8m for a 27 year old? |  | |  |

Err, have you seen some of the Championship fees being banded around these days even by non parachute clubs? I think Wrexham could be in that range for Broadhead, he's not exactly ancient at 27 is he? Rather in his prime really. He has a proven record in the champ, what was it 14 goals or something? He had his moments even last year. He starts for 90% of this league and probably would be one of the best players for a lot of clubs. [Post edited 28 Jul 16:06]

I would assume so, would not be surprised if it’s agreed in principle already with all of the noise today. [Post edited 28 Jul 16:33]

There is no scenario where we get that sort of fee fir a player with 1 year left on his contract. |  |

Tbf that is the relevant factor though, rather than Broady's age or ability as to why he might not be at £8m |  | |  |

£7m - £8m is a stretch. I could see us fetching £4m for him at a push, what with his contract being a year from expiring and injury record and what not. Financially it would make sense, although it would be a tough pill for us Broady super fans. I wouldn't be surprised if he let his contract run down and coins a big pay day next summer after his golden boot at the world cup. |  | |  |

Norwich just got £14m for a player with one year left on their contract, admittedly a bit younger. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I actually thought he had 2 years left so I will meet you in the middle then., my bad. Should be getting at least GBP5M fee for him though. He weirdly still underrated by some of our fanbase IMO. |  | |  |

First bid was submitted a few weeks ago, this latest bid is higher and think is fine for both clubs. |  | |  |

Do we reckon the offer is time limited? Entirely natural for Boro to want to get the most dough for him but can't have their cake and eat it for too long IMO. |  | |  |

I mean, he's literally said multiple times on this thread the bid seems fine for both clubs and the player/agent are seeing if late PL interest, which would indicate that bit is why it's taking a while. |  | |  |

Time limited on Hackney? I imagine so. Both Town and Boro need to know where they stand sooner rather than later. [Post edited 28 Jul 17:33]

Literally. The point still remains, you would think we'll be putting a bit of pressure on whichever party to make some firm commitment, or at least agree a point at which its green lighted. That's how the negotiation is likely to work, I don't suppose we're happy to sit here about 10 days out from Brum with it entirely open ended. |  | |  |

Agreed. No doubt we've got irons in other fires so there's definitely a balance to be had between waiting on target A vs. pivoting to an alternative. |  | |  |

Ultimately there will come a point, obviously, but I think the club are happy to sit tight at the moment and see how it progresses. Think it will probably get done, barring late interest from the Premier League. |  | |  |

Are we close then Phil? Surely with all of the noise today, it’s got to be close to being agreed and medicals scheduled? |  | |  |

We're definitely moving for other midfielders irrespective of this deal, probably a high end Prem loan in the style of Omari in terms of seasons development. So won't be entirely under the cosh hopefully . [Post edited 28 Jul 19:44]

I imagine we've issued a deadline (end of the week?) which has prompted the last push to draw out any genuine PL interest. |  | |  |
