Word coming out of London - Boro midfielder Hayden Hackney close to an £18m move to West Ham.

No official confirmation from either club.

The word coming out of South Bank, that's bollox.

Word coming out of London. Aka someone spreading rumours. Believe it when I see it

West Ham buying players without a manager now! As if a player would join a club not knowing what manager will have him and what his role might be!

The Red posted it on their Facebook account first I believe haha

Nah don’t believe it

Would you put that past the PL? Seems pretty plausible to me

I think plenty of players would do this, and have. Clubs sign players routinely without a manager these days. Most managers don't have much of a say on who the club signs

Might well end up being true, but literally the only tweet about it across the whole of the world is a random minor local radio account from up here.

I'd be surprised if it came out from "The Red" first, with absolutely nothing from elsewhere.

It’s probably not true but I’d take £18mil to be fair

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

It’s going to happen all summer.

I’d much prefer this than to be stuck with multimillion pound flops like George Saville and Ashley Fletcher.

Football fans love the idea of the secret "done deal" but I can't recall one ever really happening.

It's never come to light later that a secret deal had been done, and in an industry that's incapable of keeping secrets, I don't believe it happens and we don't find out about it

When clubs do deals, they announce them

Alex Scott went for £25m in the summer and that should be the starting price for Hackney

Given their financial woes will we do a straight swap for the entire club?

Coming out of London?

23:00 Kings Cross to York!

 

[Ironops]

I can’t see us agreeing a deal at this stage, before the season has even ended, and for a relatively low fee. Sounds like bollox

 

[LessoftheLip]

I won't believe it until @Nobby_Barnes breaks the news 3 days after it actually happens. Thanks

I will let you know tomorrow....
Right after I have voted

To play devil's advocate, by last summer Scott had more championship appearances than Hackney has for us now, scored more championship goals than Hackney has now, while being 2 years younger than Hackney is now.

I'm biased towards Hackney of course, but a neutral might take this as evidence that Scott was a better prospect than Hackney.
