Gary Hooper


Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Recommended Posts

That report is just a copied report from the Mirror.

 

"CHAMPIONSHIP leaders Southampton are set to test Celtic's resolve by upping their bid for Gary Hooper to £6m. Saints boss Nigel Adkins signed the striker when he was boss of S****horpe and reckons the frontman could fire his new side to the Premier League. (Daily Mirror)"

Anyone know how the Daily Record would get advance notice of a bid we haven't put in yet?

 

Same as a lot of the rumour generators on this very forum, they make it up to fill out time.

See how it works, Saints like Gary Hooper cos he's played for NA before and a player like that is much too good to be in Scotland when we have AOC money which must be in the order of at least a billion sitting in the bank doing nothing oh my god we haven't scored a goal in a month of Sundays help mummy we need a new striker cos the one we've just signed has never played for NA beforehand and is bound to be rubbish.

Im not saying we wont sign anybody - but if we do it will because the Liebherrs have gifted some cash and not asked for it back.

 

And I was just saying that when we made those seven million pound losses, I very much doubt we made them n the knowledge that we would be covering them through the sale of a 15 million pound youngster.

A friend who knows two ex Saints managers well told me on Wednesday morning that he had been told the clubs had been talking late on Tuesday, today he had heard that we were still not in agreement, he wouldn't say who told him but I know that these are his only sources. Lennon doesn't look happy and is moaning about the window and says that he doesn't want to lose any of his players but would like to add to his squad.

I could be wrong but I imagine £6 million could buy him a lot of Scottish prospects, and there are a few out there. It does sound like it would be an offer that would be too good to turn down, question is, will we offer it?

I just can't see us offering that much. I wouldn't mind betting the haggleing is around £4m and how much now etc, just a guess.

I don't think we've got a chance of getting him in this window. Celtic won't want to sell their best player, and we won't pay 6 million. Not much going for it.

 

Spot on , I would be suprised if we signed anyone else other than Lee , not sure that we have the money too, would loved to be proved wrong though.

Shaping up to be a really interesting transfer window as far as new strikers goes. It's going to be interesting to see, when the window finally slams shut, which striker ultimately ends up with the longest thread. Lee leading the way at the moment, I guess, but Hooper showing some good potential here. All to play for, IMO.

£4.8M + Puncheon. Just a guess, but would be good business.

 

Why would Celtic want Puncheon....can't see that at all. If they were to sell us Hooper..which they probably won't then they'd need a main line striker and not an advanced midfielder.Puncheon+ £s for Commons is a sort of possibility though.

Well if you believe the Daily Mail...

 

Agent crap as usual.

Where was the Saints turned down 650K for Puncheon of late....yep Daily Mail, Finnegan leaks bullsh*t to the Mail it's evident, it's like buying ad space for him.NA says no definite bids for JP, so how come we turned down 650K from Blackpool...yep figment of agent's imagination.

Puncheon could easily do a great job in the SPL. Most non Old Firm clubs wouldn't look out of place at the bottom of the Championship/top of League One.

 

Jason did okay for a struggling Premier League side, very well in a short spell at Millwall in the Championship and good in the first 5 months at Saints.

Punch would be a great hit up north.

 

He'd catch up with most of the footballs he's punted up there when playing for Saints.

 

Only thirteen deals in the Premier league so far in thirteen days, very slow.

 

January's like a game of poker, everyone's keeping their cards close to their chest. One big transfer could open up a merry-go-round of deals.

The Daily Mail* Fail* Heil* only prints nonsense (unless they publish a positive story about Saints) so anything they report is obviously a load of old baloney.

 

Innit.

A goal poacher like Gary Lineker I think describes him best, lots of goals from inside the six yard box...

Does him a disservice to call him a goal poacher - watched quite a bit of him at Celtic. Reminds me of a beefed up, more direct Connolly.
