Hear we are now willing to pay £20 million for Hackney, but Middlesbrough holding out for £25 million. Time to walk away from this one, agree with BlueNose better players are avaiable.

Where do these numbers originate from, GB. We will know the true figures if and when we or someone else gets him. If no club is willing to meet Middlesbrough's price, he can stay with them for another year and we or someone else can get him for nothing.

Who are the better players you can get for less than £20m, GB? Considering we paid double that for doubling and 30 for Barry, I am not convinced our scouts are good enough to find the cheap talent that is obviously out there because both Bournemouth and Brighton manage to find them repeatedly!

Hackney is well worth it.

This is a tough one tbf. 25 million for a Championship player is very very high. Then add to that, he's got a year left on his contract, only makes it sound worse. Remember he's not played in the Prem either.
But he's the best player in the Championship and that's pretty evident when you see him play. Still 25 million is a lot of money out of what we have this summer (not that I know how much that is) .
