[BUPA] Hayden Hackney

[Master Yates]

They accepted 20m from Ipswich in the summer and he turned them down. Into his last 18 months now too.

The 30m quoted is ****off money. I said in another thread - call them tomorrow and get a deal agreed for next summer if they fail to get promoted. Everything all lined up - £20m including addons or something, then get it sorted before we are even back for pre-season.

He will be in the PL next year whether Boro go up or not and I think his value with continue to grow.

I was thinking this would be a £10m punt. £30m, wow!!

thats the trickle down effect. When Championship clubs see PL clubs pay £30m+ for poor players from Europe that are unsuited for PL football (no names, cough cough) why wouldn't they inflate their prices for good young English players?

I have got no doubt that Hackney will be a PL player for years to come and I am sure Boro know that too..

 

[Otis Redding]

fair play to him for wanting to stay.

He's not going to say anything other though, is he?

 

[Trents]

He's been so key for Boro this season, I'm not surprised they are doing all they can to hold of him.

Could be the difference between them getting promoted or not, and that's worth more than £30mil.

I don’t really watch much any more. But I suppose we turned down £18m for Brennan in 2022. So it is probably comparable

 

[Est.1865]

Might as well bid 25m+ for this lad.

I think it's one of those scenarios where he's worth more than that to his club considering their position, promotion challengers in Boros case.

We seen similar with ourselves in the past. Awoniyi was probably worth £25M in our first season but to us he was worth way more than that and we would never have entertained bids unless it was seriously inflated money

 

[valspoodle]

I agree, probably a fair bid for him, but he's worth more to Boro', so why sell.

 

[Red Ray's Redlist]

All credit to the lad for wanting to stay at his boyhood club.

If they don't get promoted hopefully we can have another look at him and the fact we've already shown an interest and the growth and success Anderson has shown put us in pole position.

 

[Hawkeye1947]

Just watching Hackney tonight. He is running the game and I wish we would have bid higher to get his services.

 

[Osiris]

How much did we bid for him in the end?

 

[Galaxie]

If we do sell Anderson in the Summer then this guy should be the No 1 target for replacement

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

Not seen him play but if Middlesbrough get promoted, which is looking quite likely, the price will only have gone up even more.

 

[Googler]

One hell of a player , if we stay up he should be first port of call to replace Anderson.
Middlesbrough looked very good going forward last night and Hackney ran the show, great player and everyone will be in for him now

 

[The Frog]

Stood out today despite the result. To me he looks a very classy operator. Very Anderson esq as having a very gracious touch despite being big and athletic
