lappinitup 629 Posted May 31, 2013 Owain Tudur-Jones has agreed a two-year deal to join Hibernian in the summer. Last season Hibs finished mid-table in the SPL but will be in the Europa League qualifying rounds after finishing as Scottish Cup runners-up to Celtic.I don''t think he ever made it into the Championship when he was in England, hardly featured for us, loaned out to Yeovil and Brentford.No wonder Gary Hooper looks so good........

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted May 31, 2013 If Hoolahan was playing for Celtic in the SPL he''d look miles better than Silva & Celtic would probably want £20m for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari_2 0 Posted May 31, 2013 Stick RvW in that Celtic side and I expect his goal tally would be similar. He has all of the attributes to score in the Premier League and I''d hate for a rival side to pick him up in the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even Cody McDonald (he even has a Scottish name). [;)]Unless Tudor-Jones has greatly improved, it does show what a poor standard the SPL really is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,502 Posted May 31, 2013 As an outsider, it''s so difficult to tell when a lower league player can make the transition to the Prem. In the end I go purely on instinct, trying to judge whether the player has that indefinable "class" that sets him apart.My instinct tells me RVW has that attribute; I have this nagging feeling that Hooper doesn''t - that he will be largely nullified by sharper, quicker, just plain better, defenders.It''s purely a feeling, & purely my opinion. Think I''ll leave it to Hughton! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redders Right Foot 22 Posted May 31, 2013 in all honesty, is there anyone outside of scotland that thinks the SPL could even compare? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
im spartacus canary 0 Posted May 31, 2013 there must be other threads relating to the spl, hooperand owain tudor jones if you look hard enough why start a new 1 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,166 Posted May 31, 2013 Quick, somebody please tell Hughton and his team that the SPL is a poor league and that Hooper is only scoring all those goals because of weak defences. Somebody please tell McNally that he will be wasting all that money. Quick, before it''s too late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flecky76 0 Posted May 31, 2013 If we''re comparing mid table against champions material, then how about Luciano Becchio, Luke Moore, Shola Ameobi, Cameron Jerome, and Carlton Cole against Robin van Persie, Luis Suarez and Sergio Aguero?What a load of sxxx!What the correlation between a mid table midfielder and a championship winning striker? Err, none whatsoever and tells you absolutely nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
