Hayden Hackney on 12:15 - Aug 18 by ElderGrizzly | I think we all expected us to go back for him, as he realised he wasn't getting the PL move he wanted. I guess it's whether he thinks PL clubs will do something on deadline day as they get desperate or he holds off until January, which isn't normally when PL clubs want untested younger players from the Champ. |
Agent clearly told him to hang on for premier interest knowing the Ipswich deal was always on thee table. The only rumour I've seen is Man Utd keep being mentioned but would imagine they need to spend the money in other areas. Agent now getting worried with the lack of interest so needs him to move to get his cut, always thought we'd get him on the last day of the window. |  | |  |

He has less than two years to go on his contract. Put another way at the end of the season he will be one season away from becoming a free agent, Boro can’t risk that. Chances of him signing this window may be slim and based on results so far he may feel there is a chance of promotion with Boro. One for the back burner, but still worth keeping an eye on. |  |

Unless he has an absolutely incredible season from here his value diminishes significantly. And Boro are unlikely to go up so would imagine they are very keen for him to move, whatever they might say publicly. |  | |  |
Hayden Hackney on 13:28 - Aug 18 with 2674 views | Len_Brennan | Maybe seeing a number of our fans tracing his movements, by use of flight scanners etc & reporting it, rightly or wrongly, on social media in a minute by minute update fashion, left him a little squeamish. He's a Middlesbrough lad/fan, so won't want to leave his boyhood club for a rival in the same league, even though we are more likely to go up; in his mind he'll be thinking he can keep playing at this level while staying where he is, close to family & friends. Worst case scenario, he can get a transfer to the Premier League next season, with or without us. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Whilst I agree that the tracking flights stuff was weird and cringey, as was the even more stalkerish behaviour we gave Hirst, I'm guessing this sort of thing is just part and parcel of the game nowadays. Especially with social media. Can't see it influencing his decision in the slightest |  | |  |

Utd need to bring in a new keeper, so would imagine all finances will be going towards that |  |

I spoke earlier in the thread about Hackney being a northern boy and very settled there. I do feel that Jack Clarke gives off similar vibes. He doesn't seem.... happy or enjoying his football. Hasn't played with a smile on his face since being down here really. I guess, when you've lived here all your life, you don't realise how big a move it is to go from somewhere like Redcar to Suffolk. EDIT: Not saying Redcar is nicer than Suffolk, just that it's probably a culture shock for a 23y/o lad brought up on parmos. [Post edited 18 Aug 14:50]

Assume the FLW story is the usual clickbait, the fee and wages were agreed, it was the player's decision, move didn't appeal, grab him or whatever. But wouldn't surprise me if we did have an ask to see if he'd changed his mind before the window closes. |  | |  |

What's the word on the reason the latest deal ended? |  |
