Hayden Hackney - Alan Nixon… 07:59 - Jul 27 with 23439 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 10:55 - Jul 27 with 3593 views | tonybied | I've had a quick snout around on a Middlesbrough forum, and they seem to be in denial that he would even consider us as an option. It sounds similar to some of the noises being made here about the possibility of Omari going to Brentford when the first whispers of their interest emerged. |  | |  |

Unusual for you to disagree with me mate! Will try to contain my surprise. I’d gently point out that sheff utd failed to go up with 95 pts last year so there’s a high likelihood in my opinion dropped points at any stage, particularly to likely rivals, are going to be potentially costly. |  | |  |

Hayden Hackney - Alan Nixon… on 10:33 - Jul 27 by Jon_456 | Rob Edwards empathised it was a legitimate injury and nothing to do with any transfer. Not that he would admit that but he did seem to go out of his way to say there wasn’t any movement transfer wise. |
Fwiw my understand is we’ve agreed a deal with Boro but agent is being a pain. Unless late prem interest solidifys, which it hadn’t on Friday, this will get done. Also, for the avoidance of any doubt, the club know and accept Omari will leave this summer. McKenna did a good job at protecting a young player, but in reality he will be leaving when the deal is right (and he hasn’t handled it the best way possible - that said I don’t know if that went as far as not showing up for training at some point, or whether that was someone exaggerating the situation) |  | |  |

Thanks mate. Rak Sakyi likely replacement for OH? Guy looks like he has all the attributes and would do great under KM. |  | |  |

It’s interesting that I know we were interested the last couple of windows and didn’t get it done though. If he’s available at £15m ish, I wonder why we didn’t sign him last summer. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Actually heard another Boro players name (who we’ve been linked with before… as usual) but highly doubt they’d sell both to us especially as he’s not been there long. I’m Not convinced we need to replace him |  | |  |

Is it because the club know it’s a cracking deal to complete now for psr / what ever it’s called or the players head has been turned with no turning back? |  | |  |

Morgan Whittaker then, be surprised if we went in for him, didn’t exactly set the world a light after his move from Plymouth. One player I wouldn’t mind from them to compete with Hirst is Conway, but they will want top dollar and don’t think it would be value for money. |  |

Then respond to my follow up post if it’s utterly ridiculous. There are 5 teams going for 2 spots and last season in what was probably an easier league, one team missed out with 95 pts. Games against our rivals are going to be crucial. [Post edited 27 Jul 12:35]

I had heard that too. I don’t think he’s settled brilliantly up there so wouldn’t rule it out. |  | |  |

The positive noises are probably Gav unwrapping another packet of Hobnobs |  |

Hayden Hackney - Alan Nixon… on 09:39 - Jul 27 by RIPbobby | I'm not sure what to think of that video? Half of it is him doing defensive work and the other half is him in the attacking final third. Both impressive, but he does remind me of Jack Taylor when we bought him. Will he fit into our model? Had that video been 75% of him winning the ball then I'd be onboard. He clearly is a talented fella and looks great at drawing a foul. Is he what we need? Of course I back our manager 100%, but is he what we need... There are doubts. [Post edited 27 Jul 9:48]

I cannot stress enough how different a player Hayden Hackney is to Jack Taylor. Their ability on the ball is not even comparable. |  |

But we don't know who our rivals will be yet. It's daft to start calling our first and second fixtures 6 pointers. There won't be any fixtures that are genuine 6 pointers for months. |  |

Hayden Hackney - Alan Nixon… on 09:56 - Jul 27 by PhilTWTD | It's essentially the same story I wrote a couple of weeks ago with some numbers thrown in. The fee figure I was told was lower than that, about half, but seemed likely to increase. It'll probably end up somewhere at the upper end between the two. |
Hearing that £20m fee is where it is, not sure whether add-ons in that. Think both clubs happy with that. |  | |  |

Depends on what Premier League interest there might be. Player still taking his time before making a decision. |  | |  |

I’d heard that Omari and his agent had told the club prior to the U-21’s he wanted away, and since returning from those games they again made it clear they wanted out, and had said he wasn’t prepared to return to train. Obviously it now appears he’s done that, but he’s still 100% adamant hes going before the window. Safe to say he won’t be playing for us again. |  | |  |

Far more daft to suggest neither one of brum nor saints are going to be our rivals next season I’d argue. If it’s within Phil’s rules, very happy to have a charity bet to a charity of your choosing that at least one of those teams are challenging top two with us. |  | |  |
