Is it just me or are some people on here missing the point on why we sent Gary Hooper out on loan?
Surely the whole purpose of this was to -
a) Give him regular first team football (which he is now getting)
b) Build his confidence up by scoring some goals (which he is now doing)
and
c) Come back to us ready for action and to really try and force his way into the team after suceeding in doing A and B.
Our manager obviously see's something in him to give him another contract and all this loan will have done is help him and hopefully us upon his return
I'd have thought the main reason for sending Hooper out on loan is so that he can improve his all round game and actually contribute on the games where he doesn't score (which is more games than not).
He's got talent, but he is too raw to be playing first team football for us.
