Paul 0 Posted January 31, 2013 It''s not gonna happen. Celtic have said they aren''t selling. They said it 2 weeks ago. So why have we wasted time going for him. If we have this money surely there must be other players we could have got for £9m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A couple of seasons of EPL football and some of you let it go to your heads. Marquee signings? Our last was Robbie Keane - since then we''ve concentrated on unearthing talent and developing them. Guys like Kayal, Wanyama and a young striker called Hooper. You might have heard of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Since 1980 27 Posted January 31, 2013 2051: GARY HOOPER UPDATECeltic are still adamant that striker Gary Hooper is going nowhere. BBC Scotland''s Chris McLaughlin reports that another Norwich bid has been received and rejected. The offer is valued at around £9million. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted January 31, 2013 A month ago most of us had never heard of or taken much notice of this player. This window brings a Christmas type frenzy. Look how many players shine and fade or just click at some clubs and not at others. I REALLY do not want Norwich City to overstretch themselves on Gary Hooper, I would prefer we brought in Curtis Davies or another midfielder in the mould of Tetty and BJ to give them help. Above all else I just want us to get a result at QPR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,202 Posted January 31, 2013 £9.2 million?? That''s too much. A mugging. For me, he''s not quite proven enough at the highest level for so much investment. Seeing a filmed collection of his goals recently indicated to me that although he is a genuine and versatile striker, most of his scoring has been against very, very weak defences. I mean weak. He would not get anywhere near as much levity in the Premiership. OK his two Champions League goals speak for themselves, but they don''t make him a £9m player. Perhaps that is why none of the bigger boys have shown any genuine interest in signing him and why Hodgson has been unaroused by his very existence. I would have liked him here, but @£8m max and this would need to be a G/T, ie. inclusive of future add-ons. It would have been slightly OTT, but needs and circumstances must. The best thing that has come out of this sorry saga is an indication that we are now willing and capable of bidding big if the need arises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
