Reply		Hackney has rejected Ipswich

I said he’d travelled to isowixh. Which he did. Agreed personal terms. Which he did. Bid was accepted. Which it was.

His agent has definitely got him stalling for a prem move and now seemingly he’s going to sit and pray a bigger fish comes in for him

Think we would look ultra-tinpot if we boo the bloke for not jointing us.

And let’s face it he won’t be playing for Boro by then anyway

A midfield of Cajuste, Hackney and Azor. I might actually explode.

Was led to believe they are reliant on our money up front to pay for a chunk of their deals. That’s why our second bid (even though it was still 20m overall) was accepted. Because it involves a big old whack up front rather than instalments

Have to admit I’d not realised he played against Newcastle. Apologies. The off the field stuff was true so I’m actually stunned he was back on the pitch thereafter but I suppose everyone is allowed to make mistakes.

The source is pretty good tbf. Gone to Phil on numerous occasions of which he’s then put a story up. Of which he has verified thereafter. Gave him 2 or 3 names last year we turned out to sign (greaves) or be after (the Sheff u defender). Phil doesn’t know my source (friend of mine) but he knows exactly where my source gets the info from. Have spoken about it before with him - of which obviously I won’t go into details.

That’s not to say my man hasn’t been wrong before. He was adamant that the Delap clause was only a buyback clause for city. He was sure there was no release clause of which that turned out to be incorrect.

Of which he never played for us again.

His off the field antics is public knowledge since that post anyway isn’t it?

What Ben Godfrey duff info? Sure that wasn’t someone else? Only thing I very briefly mentioned was his widely publicised off the field stuff

Believe yesterday’s talks were on the phone. McKenna and him definitely chatted for a good while about his vision for the season and our plans ahead

Hackney medical is happening tomorrow (Thursday). Still hasn’t agreed yet but is getting there. Impressed by McKenna today and his ideas so I’m told.

Personal opinion (and from what I’ve heard today from my pal) is that he’s hoped an Everton or the like come in as he knows he’s good enough for Prem football right now. His stats have him as one of the best under 23 midfielders in the world. That said, if nobody comes in for him, playing for us as a likely top 2 team and playing for McKenna is still a huge step up. It’s not that he’d be rejecting us, but more that he’d be rejecting the championship. Which makes sense.

I think we get him. And he takes us to the prem which is what both parties want obviously. Would be some bloody signing. Uppa Towen.

Edit - And the other interesting bit I got about the transfer itself was that the reason they accepted 20m on the second bid as a package is because the outright original fee is a big chunk rather than instalments as is often the case. We’re giving them a proper lump which they (Middlesbrough) were apparently all for. Hackney pissing around and taking his time does us (in case someone else comes in) and Boro (as they want to spend the money on other plays) no favours whatsoever.

That’s all i’ve got folks for now

While I agree it’s pathetic he was booed, I’d like to also point out any anger I would have at him is nothing to do with any footballing mistakes. It would be him putting instagram stories while we were literally playing of him playing fifa. It’s one thing not going and supporting your teammates but to literally make a point of showing he wasn’t watching or even following the match, I thought was a deliberate f**k you to us as a fanbase and a club.

F**k em.

The way they (a good couple of hundred of them) attacked our fans after the game at Hillsbrough a couple of years ago was utterly vile. Unprovoked attacking fans of all ages in the middle of the street anyone with Ipswich colours on.

Hope they get liquidated

Trying to offload him though. Maybe not 15m but they’ll get nowhere near 40m

Edit - And they paid 30m a year ago apparently

Think we will need another two signings for the three behind the striker if Hutch goes plus a striker.

No idea if we’d be interested and haven’t heard anything suggesting so but I’d be quite pleased if we went for him. 15m ish should do it I’d think.

Edit - looks like Fulham are after him. Ahh well.

What do we reckon? Saturday or Sunday?

Trying to sort out time off around then and a holiday ending on the Saturday works out as possible but only if the footy is the Sunday. Anyone have an idea as to the likely date?
