If Boro don’t go up, I still think we’re a very realistic option for him. He’s brilliant, but not ‘walk into an established Prem team brilliant’. Anyone agree with me? At all? |  |

| Hayden Hackney - when I last suggested we’d now get him on 18:54 - May 5 with 1419 views | GlasgowBlue | I think he's a fantastic player. At times he carried that Boro team. But for the reasons you state, not walking into an established Premier League team, I'm not sure this is the right time to sign him. We need older and more Premier League experience in our team. Not another season of signing Championship all stars. That said, I won't complain of we do sign him. |  |

| Hayden Hackney - when I last suggested we’d now get him on 18:57 - May 5 with 1352 views | Swansea_Blue | Man U is the latest club he’s been linked with. If a top half club comes in for him, he doesn’t have to go in as a starter. Most of them can afford to introduce him slowly and throw him away if it doesn’t work out. If the likes of Man U or even Everton (another club linked) do go for him, we’re out of the race. But who knows. Those are only idle newspaper rumours and could be wide of the mark. |  |

Being slowly integrated into a Premier League team has worked out for Omari Hutchinson. He's one game away from a European final. If we signed Hackney there would be far more pressure on him. |  |

It’s ended up being a good move for Omari. Amazing how things can change over a season. |  | |  |

I’ve been thinking that recently. It’s definitely happening for him now after a slow start. |  |

| Hayden Hackney - when I last suggested we’d now get him on 19:26 - May 5 with 1037 views | Nthsuffolkblue | If Boro don't go up we would have an excellent chance of signing him. He held out for a Prem offer that never came. That tells me most Prem clubs do not see him as good enough. I think it is clear he would improve our midfield. But I think we would need to sign someone better than him as well. |  |

| Hayden Hackney - when I last suggested we’d now get him on 19:28 - May 5 with 1004 views | TRUE_BLUE123 | I think he has enough suitors that are teams who will potentially playing in Europe which will stop him coming here. He is really good. I think he will get picked up by a top club and be a squad player and slowly be integrated in and eventually there will be England conversations about him. |  |

A player with his talent and confidence was always going to bet in himself making the step up. He got his head down and put in the sort of performances that meant he was getting more game time. I wonder if we get a big bonus if Forest win the UEFA Cup? |  |

But he's had big season since then. His price has definitely gone up. |  |

It would have felt like such a long shot, you’d think it wouldn’t have been that hard to get in the deal. 🤞 |  |

Everton signed Tyler Dibling last summer and he is not getting any games, I am sure Hackney wouldn’t want to go down that path |  | |  |

The second half of the season has seen his stock rise since January (when he didn't get the Prem move he was after still)? Or did Boro turn down Prem offers and did that play into his lack of appearances/impact towards the end? |  |

| Hayden Hackney - when I last suggested we’d now get him on 19:47 - May 5 with 768 views | Kieran_Knows | I think we go pretty big on him, personally. Providing Middlesbrough don’t go up. Does he start every week for an Everton or Brighton? I’m not sure. |  |

We've tracked him for the best part of 3 years. If we can get him for a similar price to what we agreed last summer, of course we'll be doing it. |  | |  |

And this is the problem. If we are stuck with signing and relying on players who are not good enough to start for other Premier League clubs we are in trouble. The only way around that is to pick up players who are better than they are rated as and to develop the ones we have. It's going to be interesting how our transfer dealings go but we definitely need more Hutchinson and Delap deals and fewer Phillips type ones. |  |

| Hayden Hackney - when I last suggested we’d now get him on 20:20 - May 5 with 496 views | armchaircritic59 | I think he held out expecting a PL club to come in for him, guess what? Non did. Maybe he isn't as great as he thinks he is? He's definitely good, I've seen him enough in the England youth set up to tell that, but how good? We just need to remember, we've already done " Cream of the Championship " in the PL. It curdled. |  | |  |
