Incoming to a better club than ours. Didn’t want to play for us anyway so who cares. |  | | |

He'll be incoming somewhere for sure, though not here I think. It would certainly show some ambition from us if he did. I don't want to see a parade of Championship players arriving, been there, it didn't work. Genuine quality such as HH though is fine. Sadly I expect he's booked for elsewhere. |  | | |

Maybe Leeds will let us have Tanaka. | | | |

Is he all that ? Watching him over the whole season he is better than a lot of midfielders in the championship,but to want him at Town,Im not sure now. I think we can do better. I’m not sure he is a shoe in for the Premier League. |  | | |

Not sure he does the defensive stuff a double pivot demands. | | | |

His off the ball work is an underrated part of his game.
Top player.... wont be coming here. |  |

Which begs the question as to why Leeds would be getting rid of him.
No thanks. |  |

Better clubs? Man City, United, Newcastle, Arsenal, Everton, Villa, Leeds, Liverpool, Brighton to name just a few.
Established, great facilities, considerably more resources, no prospect of relegation, in some cases European football, other cases location if the big city is your thing.
In fact in his shoes which Premier clubs would you choose ITFC over? Hull and Coventry maybe. It’s how it is. In addition to him saying no thanks to an approach from us, the real question is whether the other PL clubs rate him?
I’m not into the pensioners and yesterday’s gravy merchants that some are suggesting and we have to be careful about getting our recruiting right, but I think we should forget Hackney.
Happy to be proven completely wrong. | | | |

Hackney turning us down in August is not the complete rejection of Ipswich Town F.C. that it is often made out to be on here. I think it is almost certain that he would have joined us then, had we been in the position that we are now; he wasn't looking to leave Middlesbrough, his home town club, he wanted to play Premier League football. When we matched their valuation, it put him in a difficult position, as moving here would not match his footballing ambitions anymore than staying where he was, but would see him having to move away from home & the club he supports.
If any of us were blessed enough to be playing for Ipswich, would we willingly leave to go to a rival club in the same league, a club that had recently spent a number of seasons in the league below? He clearly saw Middlesbrough as having a good chance of promotion & wanted to be part of that.
Of course we looked like we would have a better shot at it, but from his prospective, he was likely to be playing Premier League football come next August anyway; he clearly believes in himself, rightly so, and saw no immediate gain in coming to us.
If Middlesbrough had gone up, and there is a strong chance they would have had he not gotten injured, what an achievement that would have been for a local boy, one that he would have been gutted to have missed, even if we went up with them.
So I would expect us to go back in for him, as he is certainly PL class & is the kind of player we need in our midfield, and while I don't expect us to get him now that he is Championship player of the season & will have many suitors, I don't think he reject us out of hand on the basis of his visit last August. | |
