sheriwozgod Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 The really frustrating part is , even if Hooper leaves we won`t save anything on wages as Rhodes will be back on the wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlsfieldowl Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Certainly not recently Tough one - bottom line players that can can only play 5,10 15 games a season (if that) are not going to get us up.

gurujuan Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) I’m unsure of what we should do regarding this pair Given their age, and recent injury history, it should be a no brainer. Two issues though, both when fit, are major talents, so do we have the funds to replace them? Plus, the fact that we are already looking at bringing in quite a few players, is it realistic that we can manage that sort of recruitment, and all the upheaval that would bring Edited May 4, 2019 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 For me I’d offer Lee a 6 month deal with the option based on number of performances for a further 6 months. Anything longer would be irresponsible on the clubs part As as Hooper is concerned although he’s been a good player he just doesn’t play enough games. He’s the wrong side of 30, on big wages and just doesn’t seem to fit into what Bruce wants. Also think that Hooper may get offers elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think that Hooper may get offers elsewhere Hooper could do a good job for someone, alongside a centre forward with some pace For us, it would be about introducing a bit of cleverness from the bench Fitness would be the major issue for any club though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hooper could stay on a reduced deal...Lets face it, How many clubs will take a punt given last years record? We know what he can do....another year and us giving him the chance to show it might be tempting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronio Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hooper, I think we will release considering his injuries and big wages. Kieran Lee, I would be tempted to give him a 1 year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 We need to reduce the wage bill, we need to reduce the size of the squad, we need players who can play 35 games a season However we try and spin it Hooper has to be sacrificed in order to achieve all of the above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Lee will get a 6 month deal to be reviewed in January? Hooper will move to the MLS? Edited May 4, 2019 by Great Big Galaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Uniform Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 On 04/05/2019 at 07:15, No Uniform said: As good as he is. Lee will only get offered a contract by a league one/two side after so long out. Maybe a promoted side may take a gamble. I think Bruce will ask him to train through the summer with the team with a promise of a contract if he stays fit/ looks sharp. Very much glad I was right!
