Jackie Sewell Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 One of the highlights of a disappointing afternoon for me was watching his complete mastery of a football at half time. Yes I know he's a professional footballer but his control is on a different level. Then that bit at the end when he cushion volleyed that towering, dropping ball, over his shoulder, straight into the waiting ball net the guy was holding.

You can see in the club accounts how big individual teams wage bills are. Teams have been promoted like the Pigs and Huddersfield in recent seasons with much smaller budgets. Thought that was common knowledge to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not Van Akens fault he defends like Rusty Lee. In terms of cost it’s a very educated guess. Things have moved on since your day when Jimmy Hill sorted out the £100 per week.

edinburghowl Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 For all the fans that are gutted I bet Hooper is gutted as well. He will be lucky to get a quarter of the wage he was on at Hillsborough again in his career. A quality player but massive fitness issues and nowhere near worth the money he has been paid. Absolutely the right decision from Steve Bruce and I’m pleased he has made it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well let’s see and hope that his replacement is on a par or better and we get him cheaper then . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats what we'll hopefully get with Bruces experience. I'd love a smaller, fitter and more reliable squad. I think keeping the players happier and playing in a familiar system that suits them would gain more points than our vast, unfit and constantly chopped and changed side with bigger egos and wages and last pay days.

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hooper is one of our best players, yet the fact that Bruce has taken a decent look at him and decided to pass only makes me look forward to next season even more, as he must be confident he can bring in a better option.

The vast majority of this squad are failures, and we should clear the vast majority out. We have a very soft fan underbelly, obsessed with nostalgia and away followings. It’s left us in this league for a generation and the pub team across the road £130m richer.

Colin Dobson Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Some terrific goals against Cardiff & Leeds - on his day he was a very clever player but too many missed matches due to injury and when he’d been out for a bit he always seemed to need at least two or three matches to get back up to speed.

Ronnie Starling Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hooper didn't exactly beat down the door to sign for us initially. It took some time for him to come and he didn't set the world on fire with many questioning his ability. He then hit a purple patch which saw us to the play off final but then I don't think he was the most professional footballer in how he looked after himself off the field. He always looked overweight in pre-season and coupled with his long periods of injury I don't think he will be missed that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassy knoll Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I bet Bruce would have preferred the other strikers to be out of contract instead of hooper but unfortunately not, with this in mind i do agree with letting hooper go, Bruce has said plenty of times we have too many strikers at the club so its the only sensible decision to make.

TodwickOwl Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 1 hour ago, vulva said: Far too much sentiment with football fans. Hooper should be thanking us for paying £41 per game whilst he sits at home collecting his £40,000 per week whilst watching Homes under the Hammer for 14 months. Good player on his day but let’s not get carried away. If he was that good he wouldn’t have found a retirement home here on loan from Norwich reserves.
