Hooper to Wednesday on a Tuesday

[CanaryNath]

Hooper has joined Turner on loan at Sheffield Wednesday until January

How many goals will he get?

I'll say six.

Cue Alex Neil-bashing from certain sections of supporters.

"That Hooper can't be worse than Mbokani."

"He's never had a proper chance."

"He scored all them goals for Celtic."

etc.

You forgot "He has found his level"

 

[Wiz]

In a word..........GUTTED!

We're never going 2 up top so I'm not sure why you're gutted.

Because he's one of my favourites.

Yes, I remember you liked Cureton as well.

What is it about strikers who don't score goals that attracts you?

Cureton has scored shed loads of goals all his career, maybe Peter Grant played him wrong at City.

And whilst you're here, add Fleck, Holt, C. Martin,  Davies, Bryceland, Reeves and the Fashanu boys to the list!

I like Cameron Jerome.

I like Cameron Jerome.

Ditto, a brilliant player for us.

 

[It's Character Forming]

It's only a short term loan and makes sense to get him match fit and hopefully finding the net again.

I think if we're chasing a game there can be times when we want two up front and it then makes sense to have a combo of Hooper with Jerome or Mbokani as their strengths complement each other and Hooper can be deadly playing alongside a big man who helps set him up for chances.  So I hope he comes back to us in January for the rest of the season.
