Happy Birthday - Gary Hooper


Recommended Posts

What a player Hooper was. Possibly  the most intelligent player I've seen for us. If he'd have stayed fit throughout his time with us we wouldn't be in the mess we are now. Not the quickest but great movement, vision and finishing.

No its not. And you dont have a source anyway

Ok

 

Completely outrageous claim to make I suppose. Man in his 30’s who lives in Sheffield knows someone of similar age who works for local football club 

lol

Looking back at those goals and I can’t help but think that was our chance best football I’ve seen us play since the days of Hirst Sheridan waddle era. It feels like we’ve massively gone backwards and whilst many was slating what we was doing back then how we was being run and the decisions we was making as a club and through Carlos. I really enjoyed watching us

cup runs, exciting front foot football, goals from everywhere, playoff campaigns, that first season I felt we could beat anyone 

 

now an ageing squad, non scoring strikers, feels like a lot of our squad have lost its hunger and swagger, injuries 

 

Back then under Carlos we had a bit of an identity playing free flowing attacking football it felt like we was the Barcelona of the championship ( just more of a mid table one )

 

I don’t even know what we are now monks got a right job on his hand to but his stamp on this team. He won’t have the swagger but he will have the fight and he doesn’t have the squad to match his personality yet

Thanks for telling us that you're not sorry. Now, who is the source?

Plenty of deserved question marks over Hooper's injury record since joining us here. However, any suggestion that he wasn't one of our very best players is a bit ridiculous, regardless of where he is playing his football now.

Still fuming and upset that we let our best player leave

 

Especially when you think we kept Rhodes and Winnal 

we could have kept him on his 30k a week to keep playing golf . last 18 months with us he got paid to play golf. doing same in new Zealand now think he has been on pitch very little . steve bruce made the correct decision to let him go , we aint some kind of football charity even though well we used to be.
