Celtic's Gary Hooper is to sign for City

[USA Canary 7]

Has anyone heard anything more on this?  Would be a good signing for £6M.

It would be great, but probably just some ungrounded speculation over the non-event of Vaughan going on loan the other way. Just the kind of striker we need though. Another one with calls to be in the England squad, but most likely being overlooked due to playing in the L1 standard SPL against mostly poor opposition. He probably has a point to prove that he can make it in the big league.

Can''t see it happening myself, but stranger things have happened

That''s not even a story, it''s a few unconnected facts thrown at a wall with a big handful of guesswork and a bucket of wishful thinking in the hope that something sticks.

Not sure he can do it at the top level.Looked poor v us in the friendly at the end of last season. scored a few in the championship and SPL though

I used to say we should be after him several years ago when he was at Southend but we''ve come on a long way since then and I''m not sure he''s worth a big transfer fee and I doubt he''d be any better than we''ve got now.

 

...Not that I think there''s anything in that rumour, £6m is ridiculous.

No, he isn''t.

Who is responsible for that site? It''s embarrassing.

Carrowroad.net making up and dismissing a transfer rumour all in one short piece - that is quite some going.

I''ve never rated him if i''m honest. Plus he seems a bit deluded with his own ability. I''m sure i read somewhere he wanted to move only to a top 6 club after playing European football with Celtic which we all know the SPL is nowhere near PL standard.

Not better than what we have IMO.

Would be disappointed if he signed but i''d back him.

You never know guys. Calm down on the hate.Remember Surman''s signing for City anyone?

[shiplee15 0]

Yes.. I was very excited about Surman. I knew how good he was. Some people just can''t tell the difference between the roles of a winger and a wide midfielder.

Plus one of Surman''s biggest problems is mentally he''s too far ahead of some of his team-mates.. Continuity is there now though.

Someone then posted the article on here, stating that it could be us. Subsequently, everyone on here essentially shot down the guy, and had a massive go at him, saying that it is obivously not us signing Surman.A day or 2 later, they all had egg over their faces.Same could happen here.About your point re. Surman''s position - I agree! Much better centrally it seems.
