Danger of signing too many "mature" players. Had a purple patch before last contract. He was only decent. Like Rhodes, when here in early months he showed nothing like we had expected. Confirming Rhodes and Hooper with longer deals was not clever. There was also that awful story about him wanting a box for friends and family as part of his benefits. His agent squeezed out every pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could not make it up... He’ll end up being out as long as Luke Shaw was and he had a double leg fracture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Hooper is a top class attacker at this level, absolutely no doubt about it. Sadly, injuries are part and parcel of football, and it's been a big blow for the club and for the player personally.

victorturner Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Having a player initially on loan allows us to see how they perform at a potential new club. GH came for two/three months loan at the end of 2015 and never shone but was signed up on a fat contract . With Rhodes, I believe the loan was in name only and the club was committed to signing him but again he did not shine. I believe quite a few fans had a sinking feeling when the club committed to these two players even if the club had pursued them for years. With strikers, much depends on good service, esp for "mature' players whether they can cope without it, , and whether they can adjust to the expectations at Hillsborough. We fondly remember Connor Wickham. GH did have an outstanding little period, where he put in 101%, just before the last contract extension, a bit like Nuhui.

I bet we're only covered for third party, fire and theft. We really need someone else to either crash into him, set fire to him or nick him before we can claim.
