Think he had a bad injury a couple of seasons ago and never quite got back to the same level he was at before he got injured. Dont think hes had many injuries since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) The Hooper that finished the season, needs to step up his work rate, or he'll find himself starting from the bench. His finishing is usually top class, no arguments, but the side can't afford to carry a six yard poacher. Everyone needs to work hard for the side, in or out of possession Edited June 26, 2016 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only match in the entire run-in that he wasn't placed alongside Fessi. Doesnt that tell you something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 58 minutes ago, Holmowl said: Hooper has played 30 in the Prem and scored 6. At our level he is utterly lethal. Fletcher has played 189 in the Prem and scored 53. Imagine what he will do to Championship defences. If Hooper commands 32k, then I can't imagine 40k will stop us for Fletcher. And what a pairing they could be. Not forgetting the small matter of Fernando destroying from the left. I still think we also need a pacy striker who plays on the shoulder of centre halves . Someone who can run onto a through ball . A Plan B to mix it up . We dont have anyone like this. Fletcher and a pacy striker would see us set up nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes all it requires is the threat of getting in behind to push a defence back 3-4 yards deeper to allow the space for midfielders to play. I know people have mentioned a midfield enforcer, but I see the requirement more as an athletic midfielder to run the channels and pull the opposition around. like you said plan b (and c and d).

If he bulks up a little, gets on with things rather than sulking, and plays in a more familiar 433/451, he could be devastating at this level. He he could be our Troy Deeney/Andre Gray.

Technically a very good player, but very frustrating and you have to make sacrifices to get the best out of him. You don't build teams around players like Hooper or you end up midtable, but with the leagues top scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 If Fletcher is on 40k a week that is more than Hooper, 32k allegedly, but he won't cost a transfer fee so ultimately will be probably cheaper. At present Sky Bet have us as favourites to sign him at 4/5 with Celtic just behind at 11/8 in what appears to be a two-club race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats three midfield signings, following the earlier captures of O'Neil and Brownhill.
