Summer 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[Brazilian Villain]

If he signs and he's good, he'll be my favourite Hayden since Ms. Panettiere.

[Ian.]

If Youri is going to play at 10, then Dougie would be a very very good signing. If Youri is primarily deeper, then Dougie is a luxury.

this ☝🏻

Always room for Dougie. He’s the most talented midfielder we’ve had for years. Also as eamonn said, he’s gorgeous.

Everton will reportedly compete with Aston Villa and Manchester United for Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney.

According to a report by Give Me Sport, Everton, Manchester United, and Aston Villa are interested in Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney. The EFL Championship outfit will demand around £20 million to part ways with 23-year-old midfield powerhouse.

If only we had the space for him as he will one day play for England

Had the most forward passes in the Championship last season. Can see him being someone Emery would be interested in.

We also seem to trade well with Boro. Good club.

Generally takes them a while to update. If you look closely enough, Ian Ormondroyd is still on there.

There was a girl on my course at uni in the early 90s who was from Bradford. She mentioned one day she had a friend at home whose surname was Ormondroyd. I jokingly asked her if she had a brother called Ian. The answer was 'yes' and after we established his girlfriend was was a police officer she was astounded I knew who he was. She had no idea her friend's brother was a professional footballer.

Following on from the above, I worked with Brian Little's niece for a bit. This was early 00s and she was a bit coy about saying who he was, thinking he'd left the manager's job under a cloud. I was suitably gobsmacked and reverential once I knew.

Crikey. He looks mustard.

Could we tempt them with.a decent bid and sending him back on loan,

Never heard of him prior to the U21 tournament this summer, of what I watched he seemed to come on as a sub but wasn’t really noticeable after that.

[Steve67]

Hayden Hackney is a talented player and one of the best in the Championship. Where does he fit in though in a position that we have stacked? Unless someone is going.

[ldavfc4eva]

Never heard of him, never mind £20m fee?

At 23 and £20m I’d hope he’d be added to the squad

Linked through click bait site with Tyler Dibling too. Are we hoovering up the championship’s best!

He sounds like a Page 3 girl.

Nice.

I was taught for a year in primary school by Peter McParland's great-niece.

She was appropriately called 'Miss McParland'.
