Transfer Rumour Hayden Hackney

[helpimonfire]

So, are we signing Hackney or not?

Who knows? Only a few people really and none of them will say so until a deal is done. Everything else is hearsay or mumbo jumbo. I never believe anything until I see them paraded in our shirt.

I’ve reported you, grass
Well lesson 1 for you read the thread before jump on people’s posts
I said tit wow

 

[Jebus_lives]

Well we blew them out the water with the £7 million bid...The Mersey Millionaires( by way of Houson, Tx) are back!!!

When did we make this? Haven't seen anything other than a jarg rumour. Anything more concrete.

Edit: just seen your post to @Swartzy

Sorry bud it wasn't aimed sarcastically at you, just the ongoing discussion around the offer.
Not a chance in hell did we go in with a 7m offer.

All good. I should take a break from this ( i probabably wont) but its kind of like drinking or smoking...we all know GOT is bad for you but its a hard habit to break

Great analogy

Youre right we should have gone in with a £50m bid straight from the off!

We know the asking price 20 m
That’s what we will end up paying if we get him

Last season Southampton wanted 40m for Dibling......we offered 27m...

They rejected it....

We bent over and ended up offering the 40m....Looks an expensive mistake at this point.....

we should be prudent in the transfer market, we dont have alot of money to spend like other clubs do....

Hackney, at this point, is a Championship player....and only has 1 year left on his contract...
I would prefer we dont bend over again for a Championship club...

This all day long. Spend 20 on him and there's less in the kitty for the positions we really need to address.

They wanted closer to £50m by most accounts. We ended up on £35m plus add ons (it wasn't £40m).

That's how bartering works

If we’d haggled them down to £2m for Dibling is would look like a mistake currently

Not really.

In the January they quoted city £100m. Then at the start of the summer transfer window they wanted £70m. Then £50m when we went in for him and finally we got him for £35m and £5m in add-ons.

It was us going in with £27m bid that brought the price down to the £35m.

Same thing will happen here. You need to go in low to give yourself room to negotiate up.

Middlesbrough are over a barrle on this one not us.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

They wanted like £45m straight up for Dibling, we got him for £35m+ addons

They wanted closer to £50m by most accounts. We ended up on £35m plus add ons (it wasn't £40m).

That's how bartering works

So with the add ons, which we would have assumed we would be paying eventually (certainty hoping we would have to pay).....40m?.....

 

[Bluewolf]

I would bet that we dont end up paying £20m for the lad.

Id imagine it'll be around £12m with add-ons making it about £15-16

So £35m then

For all we know the add-ons are £1m per ballon dor win.

Yeah sorry about that - misread.

I think Tim Iroegbunam is good at some stuff but not good at other things (like basic passing), and I think Moyes doesn’t like the look of Carlos.

I also don’t know if Hackney is an improvement on what we have or is what we need. I’d happily get rid of Tim & Carlos for the right price. Gana looks like is out the door.

If all 3 went, That leaves us with KDH, Garner, Rohl, Armstrong in cm. Two developed cms and two developing cms.

We need a defensive minded midfielder. Dibling is meant to be best in a 10 according to his old Southampton manager (or will develop into it), but would Moyes take that risk? Probably not.

Agree with most of that but come on can we give Carlos a chance at least.

Playing McNeil, Gana and running KDH into the ground is stupid; give the boy a decent chance before not liking the look of him.

This is what P me off about Moyes, has his favourites and nothing sways him no matter how poorly they play.

We need a better Manager.
