I may be mixing him up with a different Turkish twitter account, or he's deleted everything wrong.

There’s no way he goes in January but I think we will only have 6 months left of him so enjoy it.

It's never a bad thing to see our players linked with big clubs.
But it is soul destroying knowing the big fish can come and cherry pick your players at any time.

When I was watching the Chelsea match I thought Hackney really didn't seem out of place against good Premier players and at the same time I was thinking he isn't going to be here much longer. I was secretly wishing he would play a bit rubbish against decent teams so we can keep him longer

It's much worse when a bottom half Premier League club cherry picks your best players though (Tav to Bournemouth springs to mind)
Not many of them looked out of place. Chelsea were ***** hahaWhen I was watching the Chelsea match I thought Hackney really didn't seem out of place against good Premier players and at the same time I was thinking he isn't going to be here much longer.

It comes with the territory of producing good young players.
As long as we get the right compensation for losing him then it's fine, as sad as it is to lose him.

I am still sore about that, was it something daft like 12 mill we gave tav away for for?

Wasn’t he going into the last year or his contract? We don’t have that worry about Hackney at least.

I'm hoping he stays till we qualify for Europe then he has a season where he can showcase his talent to Real and form a dominant domestic and international partnership with Bellingham 
I'm not one for begging players.. but...
I'd be pleading with him to stay another year.
We're starting to look like a top 4 squad for next year (with one or two signings maybe).
It's just took too long this year for the signings to find their feet fully + injuries beyond expectation.
Make him Captain ( Howson is likely retire after this year from full time starter )
Make him the best paid player at the club.
Extend his contract a year.
Add a transfer fee clause of 30million with a caveat of end of 24/25 season if we don't go up. 40 if we do. ( Somebody WILL pay it )
His career is on a similar path to Declan Rice, and some players do love their hometown club.

But you never get anywhere by selling your best players - as we know only too well going back to Hodgson, Proctor, Armstrong, Johnston et al and more recently Tav, Spence and Akpom. It just ends up as one step forward and two back. Although i agree there is not much we can do as a champ club when prem clubs come knocking for our best players.

Ideally i would love one more season of Hackney, i think that with the squad we are building and with who is likely to go up from the champo and down from the prem this season then next season we could challenge the auto places.
Still a good chance of making the playoffs this season depending on injuries though.
I think our current transfer strategy and FFP relies on us making sales so we will always lose at least one top player a season, Brentford managed to do it over a few seasons before getting promoted.
