QPR's bid for Hooper rejected.

[Wiz]

I thought Ricky van Wolfswinkel and the new Guy Fer (21 goals in 71 appearences ) were strikers?

Wolfy was signed in the JANUARY window and Fer is a midfielder.

But "Wolfy" will only start playing this season was my point!

Just seen this on SSN: Gary Hooper will see his hopes of a move to Norwich collapse unless Celtic accept their £4million bid, according to the Daily Record.

Thats his worth in our opinion, we have other irons in the fire no doubt.

I know homosexuality isn't everybody's cuppa tea, but I can't help but feel that's a tad harsh?!

It does have shades of 'burn them at the stake' about it doesn't it Matty!

Gary Hooper is seemingly heading to Norwich with the Canaries been backed heavily this morning to capture the Celtic striker’s signature. We are now 1/2 for him to move to Carrow Road.

So it is Crouch then.

Norwich have already signed 7 players this season including 2 dutch strikers one for 9 million so i imagine they woundnt want to go past 4 mill certainly not to 7.

Doesn't signing too many players, sometimes cause problems with the team and doesn't always work.

Maybe that could spark an exit of Becchio from Carrot Muncher Road....he's hardly had many chances already has he?

Becchio would be a good signing

One of the things the team needs added to it is goals - lots of goals - and some safe bets to get em - proven players - and Hooper fits that reasonably well. But if he was just tacked on to last years team I dont think he would have scored lots - just because there were not lots of chances being created - mostly because the team was not even functioning as a team.

And just sticking Hooper up front alone next year would be playing to his weaknesses. He is 5' 9" any CD marking him beats him in the air and most FBs can match him for pace. To get the most out of a Hooper/Remy type they need a partner who can lead the line like Crouch/Zamora/Drogba whoever, or occasionally a different type works like Berbatov but that is in addition to the target man. Then if he has a partner that means 2 strikers which means only 2 CMs so CM needs strengthening. Which would explain why Harry seems to be after Parker/Crouch/Hooper in addition to a few others.

[Shania]

May I suggest the Pope from Port Vale? I know he scores a lot of goal, that´s all.

[Jeems]

Papers are so full of chit, yesterday he was coming here, today hes not.

I think I'll go lie under a rock until the season starts, all this transfer talk does my head in.

[stanistheman]

Well If he wants Norwich then I don't blame him. He played in Champions League so how comes he suddenly drops down to the Championship let alone that the SPL isn't better than the Championship.

As for Austin, my only worry is that he could have had one good season like Darren Ambrose.

No way is Austin a 1 season wonder. He's already had more than one good season.
