In fairness I’m fairly sure Bruce said it was fact we still had Rhodes that was tipping point to not keeping Hooper. So without him a top quality manager, low grade human would agree with you. Not sure how his opinion rates vs the OT mafia mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great player, absolutely fuckingbrilliant but it's no good in 3 month cameos and we are trying to move forward. He's off to USA anyway by all accounts (his dad) and I'd much rather we bought and paid someone who both gave a bit more of afuck and has potentially profitable resale value in the future. Sorry to be so harsh but we have to be as ruthless with players as they are with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare his attitude to Lee for example. Surgeries, setbacks, breakdowns but never once saw him doing a tour on Instagram of the best golf courses in Scotland. FF is the same, surprised he's not got his own cookery show by now. We're too soft and too easily pleased. Folk keep going on about Wilder and that lot but they wouldn't put up with that garbage. Clarke a good example - served his purpose and soon fuckedoff out on loan when he played up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 They is a reason why no other Championship club has signed Hooper. If Hooper was released by say Derby or West Brom would anyone really be that bothered about wanting to give him a contract? Football fans not just Wednesdayites seem to live on sentiment sometimes.

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I actually see some logic in this. I think a lot would have been happy to see him stay if finances had allowed. With the drain of Rhodes off the books, we could potentially afford to have him again. Plus he may come cheaper at this stage of the season.

I'm not sentimental, if I had my way we'd be off from Hillsborough, we would train near London to attract better players and one of Ozzy Owl or Barney Owl would be sacked because they don't match but Hooper is a good player and if he would accept an incentive based contract seeing as he's had fitness problems it would be great for him to still be at the club. He hasn't been released from Derby or WBA he has been released from us and we know why that was and we also know that he fits into the squad when fit.

SallyCinnamon Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 We actually have Wednesday fans on Twitter genuinely wanting us to get Hooper back. Honestly, when we have fans like that it really doesn’t surprise me why we’ve been out the top flight for so many years. Such a weird mentality not to try and move forwards as a club. Bizarre.

Really am fed up with saying we are unlucky with injuries, one way to help in this is not to give contracts to injury prone players in the first place.

poite Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Why in the living f**k do people suggest bringing back a player who was never fit and never played? These a reason nobody else has been throwing contract offers at him all summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
