Middlesbrough anticipating fresh approach from Town… 19:48 - Aug 20 with 7865 viewsKieran_Knows

… for Hayden Hackney.

‘The midfielder turned down a proposed £20m move to Portman Road last month but Ipswich haven't given up.’

Heart warming to know he'll settle for us if he doesn't get a better offer.

Feels a bit like the time at school when a girl said if she wasn't married by 30 she would go out with me. Don't get me wrong, I won't look a gift horse in the mouth, but its a bit of a double edge compliment innit.

Buzzing for the 'its taken a long time to sort but this is where I've always wanted to be' 1st presser.

Modern football eh.


Is she 30 yet and is she married? Are you still interested?

Must be 37 now, still fit last time I saw her but 2 kids I think. But then I’m no longer free and single so her loss innit. The equivalent of us snapping up De Bruyne and telling Hackney he’s missed his chance.

If only my wife could see me comparing her to De Bruyne, she should be flattered. That’s if she could get past this wired ass analogy.

I'm struggling with the concept of the 'wired ass analogy'.

Is it to do with structural support, or a mains-powered instrument of some kind? And does the '-ogy' indicate a scientific angle?

Boring beyond belief, he simply isn't interested in coming here, end of, for the Hundredth time.

And these comments are boring beyond belief. Unless you're a close friend of him you don't know what you're talking about, end of, for the Hundredth time.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

I struggle to see how he would have no interest in joining us given that a) we must’ve had some indication earlier in the window that he’d join, otherwise why waste time putting together a £15m-£20m package for him and b) why would he waste his time coming to view the training ground/ground if he hadn’t been impressed by conversations he’d had with McKenna and Ashton.

I can understand that he would rather wait to see if a Prem club comes in for him, but given the window shuts in 10 days or so, and no Prem club have been forthcoming (to our knowledge) these past 3 weeks, you’d imagine we again have had indication he’s willing to talk again should we make a new approach.

I just cannot believe for 1 minute we’d spend all this time on a transfer knowing he wouldn’t want to join.


Alternatively... Maybe he came to see what was on offer, but didn't like what KM said, didn't like the look of the training ground. He's looked at TWTD and the bedwetting over player sales and lack of purchases, and that's why he said no, I'll stay at Boro the promotion chances are better?

Unlike some of the Goons on here I don't pretend to be "in the know" and have contacts here, there and everywhere, if people can't see what is before them then get on with it, it's crazy. yes I hope to god I am wrong and everyone can say "I told you so" blah blah blah, nothing would make me happier but clinging on to something that is so blatantly obvious is plain daft.

An Ipswich supporter? I'd say it's unlikely.

Do you think he is?

It's not blatantly obvious though. That's just in your head, like some angry spurned lover. It's perfectly plausible that he liked what he saw of ITFC but would prefer a Prem move - which if it didn't happen would mean he's interested in ITFC again. And if we're still pursuing it that would suggest there is a chance, else why would we bother?

There's no point throwing the baby out with the bath water just because you're upset he initially turned us down (without any knowledge about the finer details of that rebuffal).

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

I don't have an agenda, I just have an open mind.
