Gary Hooper

[Spenser]

Ignoring the fishing, in general when people talk about Hooper not doing it at Southend, I think it's often forgotten that he was only 18/19 and playing in a struggling side. He went to Hereford and scored the goals that got them promoted and then did likewise at Scunthorpe. Had the circumstances been different he might have been banging the goals in for us instead.

and if we had played him as a centre forward instead of giving him a few minutes at right midfield:'(

Reportedly turned down a loan move to Sheffield Wednesday because they refused to give him a VIP box for every home game. He's rejected that claim, and has remained at Norwich, though he's still being linked with Fulham for a loan move when the loan window reopens next week.

Sky sources understand Sheffield Wednesday have completed the signing of striker Gary Hooper from Norwich City on a 3-and-a-half-year deal, for an undisclosed fee.

Are we still in for a slice of the Hooper profits?

 

[Pubey]

Lovely goal by Hooper today.

Nope, all done now I think. Last lot were the "international" fees for going to Celtic.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Lovely goal by Hooper today.

Shock and surprise - a club with a bigger fan base votes most for it's own player (or loan player) to win a competition.

Interesting stat in today's Times. Gary Hooper is the first player ever to have been on the scoresheet in all of the following competitions:

Premier League (Norwich)
Championship (Scunthorpe, Norwich, Sheff Wed)
League One (Southend, Scunthorpe, Leyton Orient)
League Two (Hereford)
FA Cup (Scunthorpe)
League Cup (Southend, Scunthorpe, Norwich)
Football League Trophy (Scunthorpe)
Scottish League, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup (all with Celtic)
European Champions League and Europa League (Celtic).

He will add Football League Play-Off Final if he scores for Sheff Wed against Hull today.

Not that we wouldn't, of course.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Indeed we would ......... and therefore a competition where a Southend player receives more votes than an Accrington player needs to be taken with a pinch of salt .............


Hash tag: That'sallIamsaying

Being linked to a move to the MLS with DC United or Vancouver Whitecaps.
