Boro ITKer 13:39 - Aug 2 with 3708 views | portmanking | Says Hackney trained at Rockliffe on Friday and told him personally he wasn't keen on joining? Hmm... Is that why Cajuste deal has gone into overdrive I wonder? |  | | |  |

Why would the club report that someone has turned them down when they've never reported that they made a bid. Would be a weird press release. |  | |  |
Boro ITKer on 13:45 - Aug 2 with 2752 views | warky_1970 | Certainly no shock. He clearly has little interest in joining us and seems intent on remaining unless he gets a Prem move. Which he probably will last minute to someone like Sheff United. That way he can remain living in the shiithole that is Middlesbrough. |  | |  |
Boro ITKer on 13:45 - Aug 2 with 2722 views | J2BLUE | If that's true it depends if it's a direct quote (or different words with the same meaning) or spinning something like "I would prefer a move to the Premier League" |  |

Boro ITKer on 13:46 - Aug 2 with 2658 views | StokieBlue | Seems very odd that any player at any team would talk to a supporter at a training ground knowing they are likely to post about it. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, just a bit strange. Also seems strange that someone makes an 8-10 hour round-trip to somewhere if they have no intention of considering a move. However it is at the point where it's seeming unlikely and we probably need to consider other targets. SB |  | |  |

Do we know he made a trip? Any actual confirmation. I think Phil said he expected him to travel. And there was a flight. But nothing concrete unless I missed it ? |  |

Surely not that uncommon? We have a few genuine ITKers on here seemingly for example. I share your sentiments though - doubt this gets done, at least not for now. Hopefully we have plans B,C and D ready and primed. Wouldn’t be surprised though if HH ends up joining in last days of window if there’s no PL interest, |  | |  |
Boro ITKer on 13:50 - Aug 2 with 2417 views | PioneerBlue | He needs a new agent then to have allowed a deal to progress via club and agent on wages to this extent only to decide he doesn’t want to come at the last minute once he’s met everyone. I’m not buying that! I could see that his arrival is a bit dependent on say OH staying and he’s not been given that confidence by the club at this stage, therefore doesn’t know what he’s being asked to sign up to squad wise and is waiting that to conclude. |  |

Boro ITKer on 13:54 - Aug 2 with 2243 views | topguy | I cant imagine him being so blunt to a fan about thier career, we know he would rather a PL move thats hes said, will he stay at boro and pass up prob 4 times the wages possibly but again knowing transfers unlikely, the club are fully aware till hes said he will come at any moment a club from the PL could bid and us not get him, i think going hard after jens is wise as it protects us from whatever happens, if he doesnt have a PL by end of aug he can still come here but we are not hurt in the mean time. |  | |  |

Why do people keep thinking Sheffield United are in the Prem!!? |  |

Hmmmm do we though? Or are we a provincial club where people hear things? |  |

Hackney seen with the Boro team for their pre season game today so suspect it is indeed the case unfortunately . |  | |  |

Isn’t that the same thing? Wasn’t somebody on here posting team news the day before the game for example. |  | |  |

It is understandable if he has lived there all his life, Boro have some decent players and a manager that has recent won promotion with Luton. It is certainly not a 'no brainer' move for him. However, it does seem the club is happy to sell him, so they don't exactly want him it seems. He will also be increasing his salary a fair bit too, and with no certainty in football, that might end up being a sensible move for him. There is no guarantees in football, and his last seasons form, he may not reproduce. |  |

Boro ITKer on 14:10 - Aug 2 with 1487 views | Smoresy | We know he isn't keen. 😅 It's whether he's willing, and whether we're still willing if he responds affirmatively some date in the future. I'd be disappointed if this was an either/or situation, as much as anything because I believe we can definitely accommodate both over a grueling schedule. Staying at Boro would be bold. He's already posted a great season in his eyes and not generated the degree of interest he'd hoped for. I'd like us to make clear in our negotiating position that we wouldn't be a potential suitor next summer. |  | |  |

Not really - plenty of wrong and duff info makes its way here too. Sometimes via the club intentionally I think. Always cautious when I hear stuff not on here and where I share it, even if I know it’s supposedly come from someone at the club. I doubt anyone directly employed or friends with a player etc is careless enough for long. Coppingers Mrs at the hospital and Tesco copdock being the long running shorthand on twtd for example. |  |
