BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted May 6, 2014 I would hope not. I''ve seen enough of him to think he''ll have a field day in the Chumps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted May 6, 2014 Oh, it''s Chris Commons wishing aloud in front of a reporter. Nothing official then. Better idea. Commons comes to Norwich to link up with Hooper. The two of them would have a field day in the Chumps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryOne 0 Posted May 6, 2014 There wont be many that want to stick around basically just the ones who are not Premiership class like Bradley Johnson , Russell Martin . Mirror is saying Becchio has played his last game for us Wolf you have to think will be off (would anybody want him to stay) so if Hooper was tempted with a return to Celtic (and who could blame him after his in out in out season here) we would be left with no strikers .

GJP 79 Posted May 6, 2014 I wouldn''t lose too much sleep over losing Hooper. Think he''s been poor more often than not this season and to me he doesn''t ever work very hard for the team/club. ...But he''ll score goals if we''re in the Championship so I wouldn''t be disappointed if he stays.

AidanC 0 Posted May 6, 2014 Morty mate relax, you seem to have a infamous reputation on here, for reasons unbeknown to me - I think he''s been treated very poorly with his lack of game time and just the clubs interest in general it''s as if he has two left feet when we all know he''s proven.

AidanC 0 Posted May 6, 2014 Sweet Jesus - he''s proven in the championship which most would agree is a tougher league than Portugal or Scotland - just because the price tag is different doesn''t mean the skill is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AidanC 0 Posted May 6, 2014 Okay Morty I ask you this, how has he became so awful? Would you agree our forward mentality / coaching is to blame with all our strike force ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted May 6, 2014 Dont forget hooper was 24hrs away from signing for championship side QPR so dont be suprised to see him stay. I think he will get a hatfull in the championship and we should build are side around his talents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted May 6, 2014 He didn''t make much of the chances he had and therefore wasn''t selected. It''s the rules. It''s not as if the Club stopped his pay-cheque after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tumbleweed 106 Posted May 6, 2014 I''d have thought it more likely that he move to one our ex-relegation rivals, but I would prefer to keep him. I think he has more chance of doing well in the Champs, but Redmond being preferred to him on Sun would probably not have sat well with him. I''d be happier to see Snodgrass go North though, just too slow for me, unless played in the middle as a No10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not for me.[/quote]Hooper used to score for fun at Scunthorpe and they were a side always fighting relegation in the Champs , find it unbelievable to think we could get a better striker in for that league than Hooper , Rhodes maybe ? no cannot see us shelling out £8 or 9 million on him . I think i would try tempt Ricky Lambert to come play alongside him , getting on and surely wont figure much for Southampton if hey strengthen again this summer .

It would help us all if you worked a little harder on your sentence construction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
