I have seen the likes of Hooper and Lee have as many poor games as good games. Lee is a decent honest footballer but for some to say he is Premier league class is getting ahead of themselves. Hooper on the other hand gives me the impression he doesnt look after himself when it comes to his personal fitness. I feel for Lee, but Hooper i can't wait to get shut of.

I saw him walk off against Forest, i could have sworn they said thigh strain at the time. A year out with a thigh strain is some going!!! The original injury wasn't too bad but then he hurt his hip at the driving range 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper, Lee, Westwood and Abdi will probably move on and play 46 games each next year.. It's the Wednesday way 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee I’m gonna guess around 15k, X 8 =120k Hooper I’m gonna guess around 30k X 8= 240k thats 360k, Christ actually a lot of money when you consider it’s only 2 players Will be even more when you realise you've forgotten they get that much per week not per month.

striker Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Unfortunately, my prediction that they wouldn't play for us again looks like being accurate It's a shame, especially for Lee but don't see either of them coming back from such a long lay off at their ages.

Watto Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I don't feel sorry for anyone who reputedly earns around 30k a week whether it's a short career or not , in a year that adds up to £1.5M a year , most people won't earn that in their working lives, if they've invested well in their 10 year career they should be well sorted ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money isn't happiness. I bet it's frustrating as hell for Lee and Hooper. You ever had a period in your life where you've had nothing to do and no purpose? It can really damage someone's mental health. I feel sorry for both of them regardless of what money they are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Lee's first hip operation was apparently unsuccessful. Coupled with him coming back for the Forest game last September then being asked to play a full 90 three days later (which came as a big surprise to Lee himself) it was only a matter of time before he broke down again. Last I heard his hip seemed to be OK - he had a knee injury that was very concerning but things were looking up. Not sure what the latest setback is.

bradowl Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 We seem to always have certain players that are never fit, it's been going on for years. Steve Adams, played every game for Plymouth in there promotion season, we sign him and hardly kicks a ball for us. We had the 3 scottish players, Phil Scott, Simon Donnelly and Phil O'Donnell, always seemed to be out injured. Akpo Sodje, had a few supeb games for us then was out injured and never returned same player. Andy Hinchcliffe and Wim Jonk were always out injured. Before all these was David Hirst, played nearly every game in his first few seasons then started picking injuries up, one from stepping on a bloody stone if I remember right. We're cursed I tell thee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s part of the Sheffield Wednesday recruitment process We sign players with good potential but with questionable fitness/injury levels, been doing it for as long as I can remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they haven’t chose to and yeah it’s sad . Both have been paid very well by the club though and will both will have done incredibly well out of the club and the game , hooper especially . Part of me thinks can’t blame them for sitting there taking the money , the other half is sick of having god knows how many crocks sat there who are finished getting paid for nowt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
