PeakOwl Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 If he scores a couple tomorrow it wouldn't surprise me if he gets a chance with Norwich in the prem. That worries me too, especially with them offloading Grabban and not having secured Naismith yet. Probably a big ask, but we really could do with tying up a permanent deal today.

Quadzilla Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Bit gutting if he does go. We've just got him fit and firing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob1601 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Can we keep him on loan. Isn't there a maximum of 93 days for senior pros? We will have to buy him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookone Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 For £35k a week we could probably get both Wickham and Bamford on loan to the end of the season, now thatwould be exciting ! Ok then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 If we had any sense we would get this one sorted by tomorrow, Hooper isn't a player we want to miss out on. This. Got to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you swap something that MIGHT work well, for something that IS working well? Our current line up with Hoops is working like a dream.

gurujuan Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 We don't seem prepared to spend the sort of money needed to get anyone better, so I would say it's quite important that we secure his services, at least until the end of the season. He's had a slow start, a very slow start in fact, but there are signs that he's getting better all the time. He fits in here, and Carlos likes him, so we should try and make it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a slow start, a very slow start in fact, but there are signs that he's getting better all the time. He fits in here, and Carlos likes him, so we should try and make it happen Two or three of the players that have signed extensions have cited Carlos as a major reason for doing so. Carlos has stated very publically that Hooper was the player that he wanted to sign from "day one" and he has also been very patiently and very publically backed Hooper when said player was "getting up to speed" - that surely is a positive and attractive thing. Hooper was not being considered for the first team at his parent club, he is playing regularly now in a team with which he is finding his scoring touch, he must know that Carlos believes in him and he obviously has a good relationship with his SWFC teammates. Why on earth would he not sign a permanent contract at Wednesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am aware they can do another loan. I don’t think there have been any extensive negotiations or anything in the pipeline right now. At this present moment he is coming back as it stands.

Alex Neil doesn't speak in the definitive there and my guess is that is quite deliberate. It's all "doesn't seem" and "I don't think". Typical guarded manager talk. We all seem to agree that CC and DC have employed a "try before you buy" policy with some players. We've tried Hooper and he's proved himself. I feel confident that DC will buy - even if it's a significant amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I have noticed one thing in particular about our current management, and about any deals that have been struck, particularly since Chansri took over. Virtually the only comment from the club has been an announcement by the club that X has signed for Wednesday on either loan or y years' contract. CC has done almost no specific announcement until deals have been done. The rest has been pure speculation from Press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandypants Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I think we would have heard about a bid by now if that were the case. Maybe it was all sorted out before the start of the loan? Can you honestly imagine a "man of action" such as Mr C not being in discussion with Norwich about signing Hooper? Given the player's current form and CC's admiration of Hooper, it just doesn't make sense for Mr C not to be trying to bring said player to SWFC.
