Breaking News Fulham To Bid £1 Million For Gary Hooper

[class]

I'm 99.9% certain that we did have a sell on clause of around 20% - 25%. Which ever one that is, we can re invest some of that into bringing in Theo Robinson. I'd be delighted in that.

Ok, we'll see when the time comes...

Core, Scunny don't half get through alot of amazing strikers. They probably would have been in the prem if they managed to keep hold of there star players!

 

[grassroots]

Good luck to the lad if true. Can't see Scunny being happy with just a million though, would be looking to either hold one or get a bit more, with clauses I would have thought.

I think they would be very happy to sell for a mill, especially as their gate last night was just 3,600 for a really crucial game. Makes you wonder how they can compete with the likes of Southend, doesnt it!?

2 million for Billy Sharp and 1 million for Martin Paterson may have helped

 

[united we stand]

Personally, I would love to see him at Southend in some capacity advisory/mentoring role when he has had enough at Fulham - he would be a huge assett if as we are led to believe we are going to make a sustained push for the championship and more. I think Tilly could learn a huge amount from him and would also improve him as a manager.

apaprently it is 'normal' for him to run a coaching session with other managers there from lower league (not exactly sure what level) and also top division sides from all over Europe

 

[Beefy]

2 occasions against a League 1 keeper, how is he going to fair in the Premiership against the defences of Man Ure, Liverpool, Chavski and the rest?

That's not a great arguement. For a start that's one more chance than Drogba got against us in the Cup this season and two more than Rooney got against us a couple of years back.

According to the BBC gossip column this morning:

Coventry are weighing up a £2m move for Scunthorpe striker Gary Hooper. (Daily Star)

 

[BluesMike61]

The Daily Star is reporting that Coventry is going to bid £2 million for Hooper! Let's hope there is an auction, so that our cut is maximised!

 

[MountainDrew]

Yes we did. Ron confirmed it at the AGM last year. He wasn't sure if it was 20% or 25%, but thought it was the higher.

i heard a RUMOUR that a very close hooper relative said there was no sell on clause in garys contract!

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Coventry would make more sence for him to go to, yes Fulham have a good manager and have had a good season but is he really going to push Johnson & Zamora for a start ?

Hooper has proved himself at League 1 & 2. It would make more sence for him to test himself in The Championship, I know he played a few games in the CCC for us but would be interesting to see how he does on a regular basis.

Players that have done well in League 1 that have got moves to Premiership and Championship clubs havent always produced the goods regularly. i.e Eastwood, Sharp, Healy.

i heard a RUMOUR that a very close hooper relative said there was no sell on clause in garys contract!

would such a clause be in hooper's contract or would there be some other separate arrangement between Southend and Scunthorpe as part of original deal between them?

there is a thread on here somewhere where someone went to the AGM and took notes. Ron was specifically asked the question of a sell on clause and answeered 20/25%- he wasn't sure hich without referring to paaperwork. I stress that these are not official minutes, but I can't see how anyone could ahve missiunderstood what was said.

the notes are below- but I can't find the actual thread

Ever heard of a white lie?

 

[A Century United]

Ever heard of a white lie?

Yes. And that wouldn't be one.

If you are right and Ron let Hooper go for the price he did without a sell-on clause, and then lied to the AGM about it, I think that even the most rose-tinted amongst us would find that deeply worrying, to put it mildly.

 

[Gremlin]

Ever heard of a white lie?

Not really a white lie is it? If you're suggesting Ron lied about this then you're also, to my mind, calling him an idiot. I think he's many things but certainly not an idiot.

 

[shrimper4life]

hooper to the world cup in 2010?

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Well if he goes to Fulham maybe Clint Dempsey will be able to get him some tickets...

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

hooper to the world cup in 2010?

Yep, can see him lining up alongside a rejuvenated Danny Webb.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Whatever happened to Billy Sharp anyway?
