Hackney is a good option I reckon

Totally agree, can really pick a pass.

Be very pleased with Hackney partially because I think there's no way we get him and not also a proper steely defensive mid. Thought it was just going to be the latter; both would be amazing.

He does rough em up but I don't trust these Premier league refs they seem to pick on us too easily.

This is true. He needs to stop going down as easily as he has been, even when he clearly has been fouled as he's never getting those decisions.

In regards to the original point though, I wouldnt worry about him not making space for the 3 behind. At times last season he was bullying both of the oppositions centre back pairing single handed. He may not be able to trap a ball to save his life but he is a fairly effective battering ram.

Essentially in that formation mate - we have zero holding midfielder both Gueye and KDH like to press high, Soucek is statistically poor defensively - and has no recovery pace whatsoever and doesn't have the positioning and reading of the game like Barry did.

Grealish and Dibling would end up more in a wingback role and would end up doing a similar job that Lindstrom got pelters for last season.

You're basically to accommodate Soucek playing both wide players in a defensive system against their strengths, playing changing us to a back three that none of the CBs have ever looked comfortable playing in. And all to accommodate a immobile none defensive DM in the side.

Would be an abortion of a system and decision.

P.S. answer your mum quicker then!!!!

Fair but a rejig there starts to look good.

How much would he cost?

only just seen Hayden Hackney’s YouTube.

I’m in.

 

[Blue Roo]

This makes me sad. Beto and Barry are nowhere near enough. Maybe one of our more skillful players can play a role up front?!

Ndaiye would be more than up for it

 

[matty1878]

You got tourretes, fella

Relax

maybe i do

Ipswich agreed a 20 mil deal with Boro...I'd imagine something similar.

I'd think it would be a decent long term investment for that money.

Some say that he’s a bad MF

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Is Hackney not just another KDH? Armstrong/Ireogbunam even? have never actually watched him but he sounds like that sort of profile?

We need a midfield destroyer more than anything if you ask me..

On YouTube looks like deep lying winning the ball back and the moving it forward quickly. Our front 4 would love it.

Deffo does megs.
