swfc-dan Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 your concerned about his wages? Well that's big of you. If Gary helps us to get promoted, his wages what ever they are will be a drop in the ocean. UTO You're not concerned? Well that's rash of you. Of course if he gets us promoted its no issue, but what if he doesn't? We're on a great run but promotion is certainly not a given, we can't get too cocky. 30k a week is not sustainable long term in the Champ. Would be a great signing but wages are a big issue, more so than fee IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a question how much do you think the players who started today earn each week. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeder Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Sign him up. Too f.kin right - he could yet get 20 goals this season at this rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Hooper's price has most definitely gone up over the course of his loan period, you can't have it all ways. We got him fit and back to form, established that he's still every inch the proven goalscorer. He needs to be signed, regardless of what we ultimately have to pay for him, he's potentially worth about £100 million to us right now.

WalthamOwl Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hopefully QPR won't be looking at Hooper now with them selling Austin today. Let's get this deal wrapped up ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksyuto Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Norwich are shït and doing crap in the prem they could use him for the rest of season now so we might not see him back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlofOliveGrove Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 4 in 2 means there's gonna be a premium to pay. But for a striker with a real poacher's instinct at this point I say pay it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrbuk Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Unless were stupid, I believe he'll be ours. He's part of the team, seen the atmosphere and spirit about the place. Unless we offer way less than someone else, I can't see him going anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklord Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hooper is happy here. Unless boro come for him I doubt he would consider anyone else in the league. We have a real togetherness at the club and hooper is becoming part of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksyuto Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Unfortunatly hes gone back to norwich so hes fair game for every team in the league Unless he picks us out of loyalty for believing in him but dont see that much in footballers these days all about the wedge they can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionel Fessi Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Don't worry, He'll still be watching from his box He does actually have a box though The best thing for us right now is to get Hooper signed ASAP and for the right price. He's on form and exactly what we need to keep us in the top 6, maybe even push for higher, with Lees and Westwood coming back really fancy our team to give the top 6 a go. However, highly doubt Norwich will let him leave so soon, having just sold Grabban and Wolfswinkel, they only have 2 recognised strikers atm, Jerome and Mbokani, with Lafferty looking very likely to leave this window as well after being frozen out all season...have a feeling they may try and keep Hooper for a few weeks if they fail to sign another striker and give him one last crack. Would be interesting to know how much £££ it would take to sign him, if Norwich signed him for £5million on a 3 yr deal which should expire July 2016, could be the case they might chose to sell him in January now for a reduced fee? Hopefully if we shift out some dead wood on loan like Lachman, Dielna, Melo and Bus would free up the wage bill to afford a quality player like Hooper, (rumoured to be on around 30k a week). As much as it pains me to say it I would even be content with us selling Lavery if it meant securing Hooper on a permanent deal Will be an interesting few weeks ahead, if we were to get promoted the financial implications are HUGE so spending a lot now may be very worth our while!

S36 OWL Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hopefully QPR won't be looking at Hooper now with them selling Austin today. Let's get this deal wrapped up ASAP. Wolves also have money burning a hole in their pocket and are after a striker to replace Afobe. We need to get Hooper signed ASAP as you say . Any fanying about and we will lose him. 6 goals in 6 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boro yes going up. Derby are wobbling and we are up there with the rest and he is already here with us and likes or players and manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 DC will deliver him. Its just the wages I'm concerned about. Would be great to cut to 20k but will Hooper accept? Dan he came on loan cos he was a risk rather than a dead cert. He has just scored 6 in 6 and 4 in 2. I think we can safely say he isnt going to take a drop in pay. We cant play hard ball. We just need to sign him and enjoy the goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
