It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted May 14, 2014 A far less skilled footballer than RVW or Elmander, but he''d have been much more effective in contributing for us than either of them - in the Grant Holt style, the sort of player who just makes things happen. Sadly its all too late now. Seems to have done alright at Boro although out for a long time with injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted May 15, 2014 Having said that KK and Dani Pacheco are completely different footballers... What they shared is that in their brief times at City, they both played with commitment and passion. You''d have thought that last season would have taught the lesson that these qualities are more important for a club like ours than football talent. A more skilled footballer who goes missing when it gets tough is just not worth having. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonzey 0 Posted May 15, 2014 [quote user="nochain09"]?[/quote] Hopefully the two main strikers next season will be Becchio and Hooper, as obviously both proven at Champ level. Loza as back up with Kei would be pretty good if you ask me. I think the changing room is missing a big character like Kei since Holty left. Also sometimes a player seems to fit in well like Kei and Pacheco. I''d love it if we rescued him from the second tier in Spain (his clubs ground has a capacity of 6k!).

Maybe he''ll come back with a point to prove but maybe he won''t be the player he was before. I do think Hooper would score goals but I just think we''d need someone else. I also think it might just be a bit too easy and simple thinking that just because we''ve dropped a league Becchio and Hooper will be an unstoppable partnership for us. For me it''d be Troy Deeney. Got quite a lot to his game as a striker at that level, scored a lot of goals this/last season and scores different types of goal. I would say he is a better all round player/forward than either of Becchio or Hooper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted May 15, 2014 We will use 442 much more in the champs so we will need 4 main choice strikers, and Loza does not yet fit that bill. He will be an option, starting a few games but mainly being on the bench. We need to buy / loan another, two assuming rvw leaves; Deeney, Kenwyne Jones, Carlton Cole, Shola all possible options. So I am with GJP, Hooper, Bechhio - if they are still here - with loza and KK would not be enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted May 16, 2014 £6m? Deal.If we don''t get promoted, he''ll still hold his value anyway. Hooper (and RVW if he stays) need someone to do the dirty work up there with them. Our main problems came trying to play one up front using them two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''d like to see us get him in permanently rather than keep RvW. Rotate him with Becchio, Hooper playing every week. We''d be a force. Never going to happen mind. Maybe a return to the diamond? Hoolahan and Hooper running riot? I''m not convinced we actually need to break the bank, we have the pieces of the jigsaw already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
