Transfer Rumour Hayden Hackney

….when he was a young lad;

I'm pretty sure it comes from everyone basically being ok with the signing so we all knew where Dave would come down on the issue. It's not because he's a contrarian, however, he just has watched a lot of Middlesbrough matches. All of them, in fact. Since the 90s.
He plays it like all good grifters, which is position yourself to be in the best of both worlds. I don't think @davek has ever been happy with a signing we've actually signed. His usual go to is moaning about everything while saying "I hope I'm proved wrong" which gives him an out every time if he looks like a dope when he gets vaulted.

Once the player overperforms, then he moves onto "when we inevitably sell them".
 
Unless he is exceptional I don't see this as an area of priority myself. All the analysis on Garner speaks to his best work being a 6, KDH plays his best games deeper than a 10. Both get pushed forward one position higher than is ideal and then we don't use Armstrong, Rohl, Tim or Alcaraz and we end up defending higher up the pitch by design.

Don't know really, if he improves us great but I'd be looking to spend elsewhere
 
So let's not buy any of them.

Hackney.

FFS, people are easily pleased. A Championship player who has no discipline.

What an addition.
He's 23 years old with no PL experience, not a Moyes player, Minutes will be limited, This summer we should be mainly buying players that will start, we have enough of bit part players, RB LB and Striker are of utmost importance and have been for near a decade with nothing done about it.
 
I just hope this isn't another example of disconnect within the club, where Moyes takes Hackney because he thinks he has potential, and then leaves him on the bench unless he scores a hat trick in training. If Moyes doesn't see him as a first team player, don't buy him. We need first team players like we did last year when we didn't get enough of them.

I think we definitely need to improve in the middle of the pitch. Most people have moaned about it all year and now there's talk of us doing something about it they're saying it's unnecessary, which I don't really understand. The indications - and my assumptions - are that this would be more like a reshuffle of the options than us prioritising it or using up precious budget, it seems like there's a possibility Gana won't stay and they may look to move on Iroegbunam and/or Alcaraz, with the money being reinvested in players they think are better suited to what they want to do. Whether they're the right decisions is a different question, but I have no issue at all with them thinking that the midfield might not be the best in the league and could therefore be improved on.
 
Not sure as to where Dave’s agenda against this player has come from tbh. Might need to dig a bit deeper.

Why would that "put me off"?

Surely in your mind that would see me wanting to sign Hackney?

Are you sure you know what you're posting here?

Hackney is a roll of the dice. How is that an agenda, it's a statement of fact.

That so many people are that desperate to get over and put distance between themselves and a malfunctioning football club they support that the signing an unproven Championship player helps them do that is alarming.

"Get rid of Ireogbunam because he reminds me of Moyes' rubbish season and get that lad from Boro in so I can feel better".

What a basis to run a transfer window on.
 
You seem to be assuming that there is a plan
Judging by last summer I doubt there is a plan
I'd actually say there is one this summer. Many of the linked names are very Moyesesqe players atm which suggests the committee is finding players based on the teams data/manager style. I also highly doubt he would going on his talksport jolly if there was nothing in place.
