One that got away during the summer & would have been a very good deal for us at £20m as it has turned out. I do feel that he would have been an excellent foil for Matusiwa in midfield & that partnership would be capable of competing in the Premier League.
Given that he almost certainly won't be coming here, even if we do go back up, the reality is that this the kind of outlay that we will be looking at in the Summer for a PL quality partner for Matusiwa. Nunez & Cajuste both have quality, while Taylor has stepped up this season, but realistically, none of them would have the consistent ability & strength to give us what we will need in that key central midfield role. |  |

There's obvious quality out there for affordable prices if we look hard enough. Matusiwa especially has been excellent business. |  | | |

It's a fair point but some of that £30m will be a premium reflecting that Hackney is a youngish English player and coming from an English club.
By comparison Spurs have paid £35 million for Conor Gallagher - an almost 26 year old Premier League experienced midfielder.
We could pay a bit more than we paid for Matusiwa and get someone who could be a good foil for him if we look outside the UK. |  | | |

The other premium is the fact that he's performing so well in a team going for promotion. My guess would be they don't want to sell him at any price in January and if they dont get promoted its likely to be more around the £25m mark. | | | |

Part of the Gallagher fee (i.e. relatively low) will be the fact that Spurs will have factored his wages into the deal. |  |

Not so much one that got away as someone who decided they didn't want to come here. Fee and personal terms agreed, just turned us down. |  |

He’s probably the kind of player that might be available for loan if we go up. Spurs seems a bit of a graveyard for player development, will he actually get much game time. We know all too well the step up to PL is a chasm. Dibling is another young English talent that went up for big money and has struggled to make an impact.
I’d imagine if we go up we’ll look at the relegated teams - Somerville hasn’t done well at West Ham but feels like a KM type of player. | | | |

He would have been used just like Nunez has.So we would likely still be looking for answers to the midfield pairing question. |  | | |

Not sure its "one that got away". He didn't want to come, and looks like that'll prove to be a good decision (in the short term anyway) as he's got some big clubs after him.
Really surprised Spurs are after another midfielder. How many do they need? | | | |

He'd have been good but doubt they'll get anything like that in terms of fee. His contract is up in less than 18 months and I doubt he'd sign a new one unless Boro go up (and even then probably not) | | | |

His contact at Boro expires in 2027 so if he stays there this season and they fail to go up his transfer value will steadily depreciate.
A club like Spurs might be best served to either wait until the summer and offer significantly less or buy now and loan back for the rest of the season. With the price reflected for that arrangement.
In theory, we could still get him - we go up, they stay down and he puts in a transfer request. |  | | |

That will really put a spanner in the works for Boro's second half of the season.
If only we could get a number 10 then we could have Nunez playing in the Hackney role. |  |

He turned the move down. It’s as simple as that. ITFC and living in Suffolk is not for everyone. More fool them. Move on.
£30m is loose change for Spurs and Boro know it. I’d not be surprised to see him move there or a club of similar stature. |  | | |

Hardly one that got away, though, is he? We agreed a fee but he chose not to join because he expected Premier League interest. If Spurs are willing to pay that for him, it will show that he made the right choice to get the move he wanted and thought he deserved. A shame for us we didn't get the player but it appears we never stood a chance to. |  |

If Boro fail to go up that fee will def go down.
In the Premiership they get better than Hackney for 30 million from abroad or on loan. | | | |

Would we not clone Nunez if we could? We need the passing ability and progression up the pitch |  | | |

Unfortunate situation for Middlesbrough in some ways given the profile of HH's season now attracting some big name clubs. £30m or not they will be desperate to hold on to him for a realistic shot at promotion - losing Lath (last season?) didn't do them any good whatever the price they got for him.
Whether he stays or goes if Man U & Spurs are being linked it'll be a disruption for the lad & that can't be a bad thing for the likes of us. | | | |

Fulham and Wolves came sniffing after we agreed terms and he preferred to go to a premier league club, but they ran out of time to get a deal done. |  |

Maybe it's me but he's ok at best,
They should snap for 30m but if he chooses the wrong club he will go backwards, |  | | |

He'll be down to 7.5m in June when he doesn't sign a new contract and only has a year left on his deal. | | | |

If Hayden Hackney has half the career that Finidi George did then he will have done pretty darn well for himself. | |
