Saint Garrett Posted 9 December, 2012 Share Posted 9 December, 2012 Can't see anything in this to be honest, we got J-Rod instead who's done OK since he's joined and has a big future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restark19 Posted 9 December, 2012 Share Posted 9 December, 2012 That is a really awful article if ever i've seen one. Poor journalism. Would definitely rather bring Billy back tbh, especially as Celtic will want at least what we paid for JRod for Hooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 9 December, 2012 Share Posted 9 December, 2012 Sell Sharp for 5 mil, buy a CB, we dont really need hooper, we play ine up front, Lambert and J Rod are good enough imo. Though I do rate hooper, you cant judge too strongly due to the opposition he plays against Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Matty 76 Posted 9 December, 2012 Author Share Posted 9 December, 2012 Pretty sure Adkins bought Hooper for £175,000 and sold him to Celtic for £2.4m as well? Really poor article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 10 December, 2012 Share Posted 10 December, 2012 Just what we need, aother 6/7 million £ wasted on a theoretical replacement for Lambert. You can't drop Lambert, he'll throw a wobbly again or if he doesn't the fans will and he's very rarely injured. Our monies will be far better spent on defensive players and a top class keeper, only thing that needs fixing, the rest ain't broke. If we'd had a real keeper from day 1 we'd be top half by now, without JRod or Hooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonist Posted 10 December, 2012 Share Posted 10 December, 2012 What do you expect for a guy who's 6ft 7'? Twiggy? where this come from? anyway he's not pulled up any trees domestically this season and Billy is on the same games per goal ratio despite a slow start. I dare say Billy would probably have scored against Barcelona where Gary didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 14 December, 2012 Share Posted 14 December, 2012 Whlst we're at it, can someone draw up a list of all the players under 30 who are playing above mid-table Championship level that Adkins has managed, just so we can automatically discount them whenever they appear in the press ?

Window Cleaner Posted 19 December, 2012 Share Posted 19 December, 2012 Make your mind up? I am advocating getting more out of what we have already, if we can't do that then we need to sell ineffective players before wasting more on replacements. Well I think that's what I mean anyway.
