Matthew Le God Posted 17 January, 2012 Share Posted 17 January, 2012 (edited) It was in reply to something someone said above not a point about Hooper. I have mentioned that in my other posts that's the main reason I could see him moving to get a call up for England as Sutton shows doesn't matter if you are better than everyone or most of their strikers they wont pick you. Was hard for Sutton to prove he was "better than everyone" in England when playing against SPL sides in front of 5,000 - 10,000 people. I doubt Sven considered scoring against such sides as a good marker for Sutton's talents. Same applies to Gary Hooper if he has England hopes in the future.

RobM Posted 17 January, 2012 Share Posted 17 January, 2012 Still think we'll ruffle their feathers one more time at least Likewise I've lost the initial excitement about this possibility of this signing, but still think we'll have one last go at a higher - but not daft - price to test Celtics nerve. A kinda 'final offer' approach in case they then buckle. If that doesn't work out, I think we're sensible enough to know to move on before the window closes and we lose all chances of signing anybody. The world is bigger than Gary Hooper.

sammysaint Posted 17 January, 2012 Share Posted 17 January, 2012 I thought we would be mutual friends the links with Southampton and Celtic with the ex saints players and manager playing at both clubs and also the fact Lennon made poor judgement and given us a decent CB. Il give celtic one thing on fifa online there fans keep beating me in div 3 as that asian player is amazing and Samaras seems to be able to rinse players.

K,Billy's supersound Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 to me the sudden appearence of wage figures in this 3rd bid are just a attempt by hoopers agent to get his client better terms at celtic. saints don't do their buisness in public and wages have never been mentioned in any past transfers. some bloke at the mirrior,sun,echo or any other rag will not know what has been offered to club or player unless lennon or hooper and his agent release it. all the reports i have read offer no quotes and imo are rubbish.
