SPECULATION - Gary hooper

by sparky10 » 24 Aug 2015 20:00

Available from Norwich, talks of a loan move to Sheffield Wednesday. Could solve our goal scoring problems, wants first team action after not seeing much at Norwich.

We were going to sign him instead of Norwich when he left Celtic. But then we had a Russian owner at the time and for some reason it didn't happen.

And obviously, since then, Hooper has gone on to show how prolific he is in the English leagues.

Marginally better goal ratio than pog in the last couple of years.

Nah. If we want a striker that doesn't score too many I'd rather get someone gas.

If he goes out on loan, Norwich want his wages paid in full. He's on 30k a week so this will be a sticking point

Ah yes that was him.
However Adkins wanted Hooper in our first season back at this level, sadly someone had wasted all the money already.

Last season at the Madejski I shouted 'Gary, Gary, you're shit!' and he shouted 'Cheers mate' as he ran past. He then had a chance later in the game, which he missed.

I stand by my initial point and I'm glad that I can get that anecdote into a thread organically.

When I was 8 I scored 51 in 20 in the peter houseman youth league which I believe is an SPL equivalent (If not a slightly better standard)

Doesn't mean I could score goals in a competitive division which is getting better every year.
