How can he possibly be match fit when he's not played any matches in about 10 months. Owlstalk at it's finest. He'll take about 10 games to get up to speed, and by then we're pretty much at the end of season. The best we can hope for re: Hooper is the odd cameo here and there from the bench and the avoidance of (another) injury. He needs to be the first one on the departure list in the summer, IMO. I think you'll find that was me point You need to read the bit where i say "how long will that take..How long til the end of the season" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to launch anyone then it should be a young un to see what he's made off. Hopefully not biscuits like Hooper. Yes but it would be better if Borukov was ready and in some sort of form. This time last year would have been better for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be brilliant if we could get 7 games out of him and still be in the hunt for the playoffs before he left tho. I read that rumour - on Owlstalk.

At least we know Hooper is an out and out scorer - if he can prove his worth next ten games, id offer him reduced terms - I’m sure Bruce is a fan of his overall play too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IstillhateSteveBould Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 How many people have slated the club for offering silly wages and long contracts to old or injury prone players over the last few years? Now some want us to offer a new deal to a 30 year old who hasn’t played all season, only managed half of last and half of the one before? Imagine if he wasn’t our player and we were trying to sign him. I doubt anyone would want him due to our financial issues. Bearing in mind he’s on 30k plus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handworth52 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 4 hours ago, 2roland2 said: As I said you will find that hooper and lee will get taken on at a decent level if they get back to any sort of fitness even if it’s a gamble. And hold on Hooper although having a couple of bad seasons with injuries still payed roughly 25 games in 17/18 and 16/17. Before that he was normal late 30s per season, Same with Kieran lee, it was only late in the 16/17 season and 17/18 season he got injured and both around the same times when Carlos was in charge with his mental poo training and playing people when not fit approach. Go figure. Just because players pick pick up bad knocks doesn’t automatically mean they are done, they have a chance and should get a chance , no sorry will get a chance here or at a another club, and as I said I’m lretty sure both will prove themselves if given the time be that here or elsewhere. But it like I said all our top notch message board physios know better just like you all did with hutch and Westwood. These two deserve at least some some respect from our fans but most on here don’t know what that means, quick to ditch them off without giving them a chance, probably after our approach put them in this position with the fuckimg ridiculous poor fitness in the CC era. I bet the smae people saying fizz them out are the same people that cry at the likes of Atkinson leaving us etc. No wonder footballers do t show loyalty anymore. they had bad knocks? lee had a very serious hip injury was rushed back too quickly since then he has had other injures too, as for hooper aint a clue he has had about 3 different injures . like 99% of the supporters I rate these 2 highly .but father time has come on there football careers ,we aint a charity they both have earned good money in there careers and both seem sensible lads so im sure there set for life on what they have earned . we are about to announce horror accounts which will show our wage bill has increased again and losses way over the ffp limit. there is no time for sentiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 If Hooper regains general fitness with no set backs he could be a useful option till the end of this season. That would be a bonus. Especially as I could see him looking good in the 10 role in this system. Would be good for Bruce to have a chance to look at him and assess him.
