Hayden Hackney


I like Hackney , Ive watched a lot of Boro in the championship , my eldest Gson is a Boro fan. He’s class at that level , but the championship is a huge drop in quality compared to the PL.Can he make the step up ? It’s debatable. If we are taking gambles on potential that’s unproven at PL level , I’d rather we stick to our current model , buying them younger. He’s 24 in 3 weeks. 20-22 gives the player a couple more years to improve/prove himself. I agree with you about him being ahead of DN.
Oliese Wharton Scott eze etc all come from the championship and stepped up
 
Jobe is playing for Dortmund and is nearly 3 and a half years younger

Hackney is yet to play higher than the championship and turns 24 in a few weeks

Players develop at different rates.

I’m willing to bet the lad is will end up a top half Premier League player, he is actually quite good.

I’m not claiming he isn’t good or doesn’t have potential

However for the one who said Jobe isnt in his class, one is currently playing for Borussia Dortmund at the age of 20. The other has never played higher than the championship and turns 24 in a few weeks

I now know what you were saying and I haven’t read the thread in its entirety as well so apologies.

I do think he’ll make it in the higher tier though.

Mind saying that, I also thought Dan Neil would and Reg thought differently

Would he be playing for Dortmund if his name wasn't Bellingham though? They certainly wouldn't have paid as much as they did.

We have no idea how good Hackney would be in the BL.

Jobe is obviously a bit younger and has the physical edge but I feel Hackney is better technically and could be a good PL player and would look good in the German league imo.

Fair enough if you know Hackney that well.

The fact there’s prem interest clearly shows he has potential. Let’s see how he delivers on it
