KeiranShikari_2 0 Posted January 11, 2016 Have always assumed that it was a loan with intent to sell in Jan. Like we all knew that Dorrans would be joining us in the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neongreenjon 0 Posted January 11, 2016 There''s a lot of buzz from wednesday fans that their manager likes what he brings to the side bar goals. Some that I know say they wont be surprised if they see 3.5 mill as a bargin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,070 Posted January 11, 2016 if you had bought the celtic hooper for 3.5 mil it would indeed be a bargain the one we had and the one we are selling will be good for sheff weds but he has only 2 goals in 11 games tells me he is no longer the celtic hooper that we bought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thirsty Lizard 3,085 Posted January 12, 2016 I could be wrong, but isn''t it you who''s baring your a**e in the centre circle if we sell Hooper for more than we brought him for Morty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

funny old game 1 Posted January 12, 2016 Now scored his second of the night sounds a cracking game Sheffield 3-2 Bolton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,085 Posted January 12, 2016 What if we sell Hooper for more than the combined £13 million fee we paid for him and RVW Morty. The way this transfer window is going it''s only a matter of time before Bournemouth put in a record breaking bid.Your a**e may not be safe just yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted January 12, 2016 Not entirely sure why he''s never been given a chance this season, similar to Lafferty, our forwards have hardly been setting the world on fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samwam27 517 Posted January 12, 2016 Always liked Hooper. If fit, I think he''d score goals for us, even in the Prem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted January 12, 2016 Why are we all so keen to sell him for £3.5m, approx £1.5m less than we paid? He''s scored 20 in 41 starts for us and now 5 in 6 starts for Sheff Wed, hardly bad is it? If he''s actually now at full fitness and in form, I''d keep him.We don''t need the money and I''d suggest he''s still the best finisher we have. Grabban''s gone and presumably Lafferty too (who we all now Neil doesn''t rate at all). This leave us with Jerome and Mbokani who have the paltry sum of 3 goals apiece.

morty 0 Posted January 12, 2016 The only issue I have with that Clint is that he seems to be the kind of player that really suffers with fitness if he isn''t playing regularly. I think in the Premiership he would still be a bit part player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 517 Posted January 12, 2016 I would love to see Hoops play off Mbokani. Now that would bring us some goals! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
