The reason Hooper didn't sign...


Recommended Posts

Hard not to when he's been right on almost everything Wednesday related this transfer window.

Engage your brain.

Refer to Bruce's post above.

Transfers are complex business. Fees agreed, maybe even 7 figure ones. Wages agreed, a percentage on our part (100%?) agreed to pay to the tune of tens of thousands a week. Then at the last minute Hooper says "Oh can I have a free box? No? Sod it then".

It's absolute drivel and a direct contradiction of stuff Nixon himself has previously said. So if Nixon has been right about almost everything to do with us this summer, he's 50% wrong on one of his two statements about a deal for Hooper. Which is it?

How're you feeling FO regarding the lack of striker signing? 

I'm over it already. It is what is is. And we've not seen FF and Bannan so have no idea of the impact they'll have. FF to play behind Nuhiu or Joao and you just never know...something could click.

If not we have a loan window that we can utilise. Plenty of strikers still out there....Hooper being one of them if he's not too hurt over us ''not giving him a box''.

 

It is the hope that kills you really. If we weren't told/didn't convince ourselves that we had the pick of Rhodes, Vydra, McCormack and Hooper then we wouldn't be like this. 

 

It would have been fantastic to get that elusive striker but there's never any guarantee that the player would do well for us, and you never miss what you've never had lol

 

I'm still over the moon that we've signed Forestieri.

Not bullshit

 

You're a striker, being paid £32k a week. You're playing for a Premiership club, but they've made it clear they want you out on loan as you're not getting a game this season.

 

You've bought and paid for a box for the season for family and friends to watch you play in the Premiership.  You've been told a deals been agreed with Wednesday, you're happy enough to go and play there - the money is the same.

 

Norwich refuse to refund your box. Wednesday refuse to provide a box for your family and friends to prevent you being out of pocket, even though you've explained the situation to them, and said as long as you get a box for your family and friends so you arent out of pocket, you're happy.

Wednesday have agreed to pay your wages in full (to Norwich) for the loan period, and agreed to pay a loan fee (to Norwich) as well.  You're getting nothing out of the deal (other than the inconvenience of spending 8 months living away from your home and the chance to play in a division you've just played your heart out to get out of....

 

 

 

Whats so hard to understand? Why should he be out of pocket?

It's all believable when you put it that way.

 

However it's not believable when Nixon reiterated several times over the past few days that the deal isn't an issue with us or Hooper but an issue with Norwich. Then said that Norwich will only release Hooper when they have brought in a striker (2 strikers that changed to).

I'd say the issue IS with Norwich

 

Not refunding him his box

It doesn't chime with the previous statement from the same source that we did all we could to make the transfer go through. So one of his statements is clearly false. And given that, why would you trust the other?
