Transfer Rumour Hayden Hackney

[hallamblue]

We need to be careful not to take the mickey in terms of a fee. Steve Gibson will keep him on a point of principle if we don't make a decent offer, so I'd imagine at least £12-£15 million.

….Armstrong and Iroegbunam are tall.

Hopefully Iroegbunam is leaving. Armstrong should definitely get more playing time next season, and in the middle rather than out of position.

I assumed Shea Charles was just a negotiating blag, bit like Middlesbrough claiming they'll let him see out his contract.

No idea, but thought I had read or heard Moyes was looking for a big presence for midfield, Hackney doesn't fit that so maybe we're bringing in two

….Armstrong and Iroegbunam are tall.

Hopefully we'll see more of Armstrong, he can play either of those roles but he could be out on loan again and Iroegbunam might not be here next season

….i don’t mind Iroegbunam, only turns 23 this month we know he has lapses and can look a bit lethargic but he has terrific athleticism and powers of recovery. They all have their price but he’s a useful player to have around.

If the announcement video isn't a clip of him arriving in a Hackney I'll be disappointed

With the spurs delegation flagging it down.

…..I don’t mind Iroegbunam, only turns 23 later this month. We know he has lapses of concentration and can look lethargic but he has terrific athleticism and powers of recovery. They all have their price but he’s a useful player to have around.

Armstrong could be the real deal. I actually seen it as a huge plus when he was asked to play wide because it showed the trust Moyes has in him. He’ll be seen as a CM, I have no doubt about that but he will be asked to do a job for his team at times.

He's more of a defensive midfielder than a 10.

Absolutely not

He is a technically poor player and that aspect of his game is unlikely to improve. If rumours are true we are going to get offers for him and I think we should take one of them and reinvest the money.

I hear what you're saying about Moyes playing him out of position because he trusts him but for a young player it's a bad idea. Maybe in an injury crisis you might ask an experienced central midfielder to play out wide but at his age it was the wrong thing to do and he didn't suit it at all.

 

[MondayHater]

if the romours are true, we are first choice.

He must be on the same stuff Pickford is on but let’s hope he keeps on it.

 

[Nymzee]

Someone tell him they do great parmos in Liverpool

 

[Bedfordblue]

Begs the question with all the above evidence why does he want to join?

‘It will be different wi you wee Hayden, I’ve seen you pass the ball and we need someone with your ability for triangles between Tarky, Big Mick and you yerweeself.
And if you can hit the big man even better.’

You know that Moyesy looked at that and thought ‘so, he can play on the left…’

…it’s not a ‘bad idea’ at all. You learn so much playing in a different position, he’d played there a little at PNE too. I remember DCL coming into the team and playing out wide, it’s all part of the learning process and tells the manager a lot about your application.

I thought Armstrong coped ok, good players do.
