Re: Hayden Hackney
Would absolutely love this. Exactly the type of player we need.
I'm not confident in our ability to get this over the line though. Will cross everything.

Hearing this news this early in a world cup window just screams "agent trying to force clubs to show their hand and start a bidding war" to me.
Re: Hayden Hackney
Don't know anything about him, never seen him play. Sounds like the Dibling of this summer, with lots talking about him as the next big thing and wondering where he will end up.
I'd imagine Gana, Alcaraz and one other may go then to accommodate him.

Re: Hayden Hackney
Could we send Armstrong there for the season as a sweetener would be a good loan for him good solid championship team pushing for promotion
Re: Hayden Hackney
Delighted if we pull this one off.
Some of Moyes best buys previous where from the Championship.
Really hope it comes off.

Do you remember that one season we did our business early and had a great season? I think 2006 - Lescott, Johnson but could be wrong.

Re: Hayden Hackney
Would be a great signing. But definitely not getting excited yet as I'm sure there will be a queue of suitors.

Re: Hayden Hackney
He isn’t the same profile as dibling has 4/5 seasons of championship football under his belt couple of years England u21 very progressive player carries the ball well can pass and shoot as well but very athletic and will bring a good footballing ability to our midfield
Re: Hayden Hackney
Honestly never watched him, had a preconceived idea in my head of what he’d be like so did a bit of reading and watching clips and yeah…looks a bit lightweight and a bit lazy, can play a bit for sure but it’s a step up.
Maybe him + some workhorses around him in a three allows him to dictate the game but he isn’t what I’d thought he was, which is like a pass merchant.

Re: Hayden Hackney
This gives a nice picture of what kind of player he is -
https://totalfootballanalysis.com/playe ... is-tactics
Main takeaways - highly press-resistant (much needed for us!), very good at progressing the ball from deep, needs to improve without the ball.
