Hooper's SIGNED...says Dazzer's source

[MYU]

But I thought it was done and dusted?

It's not. I think he's holding out for a prem club.

There doesn't seem to be many takers at the moment though.
Ok Norwich want him but won't pay the fee that Celtic want.

If he doesn't join us I think he will see out the last year of his contract at Celtic

Celtic want to sign two young Brazilians (I think) but need to sell him, so not sure what will happen.

Just hoping that we sign players this window that WANT to play for us and dont come just for money. If he wants to sign,,then sign him up. If not lets move on and not try the Phil Beard shuffle on him where we agree to make him richer with a lucrative contract and he just needs to turn up.

This is actually a very good point, the last thing we need is another person here just trying to boost their bank balances, a la Hoillett, Bosingwa, Zamora, SWP,Barton etc.

He has to want to play for us, not be forced into it as there is no other more lucrative option. Whether he is a good player or not, if his heart's not in it, then just forget it.

This reminds me of the Hoillett saga last year, who we all agreed was a good player and should have been good for the team. However, he basically had no other better option so came to us purely for financial reasons, and basically played like he couldn't care less.

Tony has said that he wants people here with the right mentality, which is 100% correct, so we need to be very careful and understand player's motives to avoid making the same mistakes again.

In which case the only players that want to play for us will be league 1 players

[Ginger Ninja]

It's going round that hooper is having a medical at QPR today. We'll see.

[Jeems]

Must be like his 5th one, whats wrong with him!

Yeh, amuses me that some on here think we have the attraction of a top half premier league club.

I imagine any contract that we would have with hooper would include massive bonuses for promotion, so this would give him incentive to be professional.

[Mellowhoop]

Don't buy into players having medicals on a Saturday

Well bonuses would work rather than a large wage whether they perform or not which explains the lack of professionalism from our current crop of clowns.

[Factamondo]

he aint coming so please lets move on........the season is almost here ffs!

[WeAreQPR12]

fair point but there are plenty of players, on big money that show plenty of heart.

It all goes back to what w12ranger said, African lazy laid back ego's.

I really hope we sign hooper and going the british route is the way forward. Our best players have been hill and derry for effort and adding plenty of british players will be a very important factor while we look to build a unity in the side, not having 5 or 6 groups all doing different things and speaking different languages after training out in austria or wherever. You will always be divided like that and it will look like that when they run out on a tues/sat.

[DeepcutHoop]

Decent players are needed. The obsession some have with keeping it British, or seemingly more importantly not 'foreign' is just narrow-minded, at best.

There are plenty of ****e British players, and plenty of extremely good, hardworking non-British players. Why does it matter where they are from?
