Agents working overtime. If he doesn't join us. Fair enough But if he doesn't then I hope he goes to a prem side. Becomes a bench player and in two seasons we see him loaned to Lincoln to get his future back up and running. |  |

United with late interest in Hackney… on 10:10 - Aug 1 with 3133 views | Bellevue_Blue | These are the same two journos that said he was waiting for Spurs yesterday. It's most likely complete speculation designed to get clicks from the biggest fan base. If he had genuine interest from either of those clubs this summer, he would not have even picked up the phone to Mckenna. |  | |  |

United with late interest in Hackney… on 10:13 - Aug 1 with 2992 views | SomethingBlue | Same story as yesterday with another club grafted in – Dean Jones has plenty of agent connections so I'm sure these are being leaked directly to try & sort the dream move out before Town/Boro press for a resolution. |  |

You’re closer to this than most - who does this serve? I don’t understand how this helps anybody involved in the deal or potential deal. |  | |  |

Very good question given United and others will be perfectly aware of the situation. But if you're the agent and a journo you like calls, it doesn't do much harm to feed them your narrative and add to the noise/test the reaction a little. Stuff spreads very quickly nowadays as the tweet at the top shows. [Post edited 1 Aug 10:19]

All I can come up with is this is being put about by the agent to dissuade HH from signing with us. "Look. These other clubs are waiting in the wings. Don't sign anything for a couple of weeks. Let me work on it". But it is probably something less Machiavellian. |  | |  |

I know this wasn't directed at me but I presume the agent's trying to scare Spurs and United with the idea the other may sign him. But if Hackney wants guaranteed first team football, he definitely won't get it at Spurs and may not get it at United. |  |

Thing is, a bulk of Boro's targets are hinged on him leaving, so they'll want him gone to get their targets wrapped up before they go elsewhere. |  |

I'll be amazed if at least one of Town or Boro, or both, have not put a deadline on Hackney to make a decision for this reason. We need to move on to other targets; Boro need to know their budget to finalise their squad. |  |

You'd think if he was here yesterday, and by all accounts he was, then both parties will want a decision today. |  |

Maybe trying to save his own skin as well. I imagine he'll have sold Hackney the dream of being able to get him a big PL move within a certain timeframe and, now, it appears that it might not be happening. If that was the case, I was HH, and no PL move materialises, I might be looking at alternative representation come September... |  |

He's only just signed up with this current agent ... the same agent who was telling Jack Clarke last summer - and whilst he did get himself a Prem move, it wasn't the one he was expecting. |  |

In which case, I imagine that the agent has a pretty big sales pitch to try and make good on. Looking at Transfermarket it would appear that HH is currently their biggest asset, so losing his trust so early on in the relationship would be massive: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/smi-sports-management-international/beraterfirma |  |
