This will be a test of his 'I only want to play in the PL'! The SPL is probably on a par with the Championship, so at least it will be a step up for the lad.

If he plays in the SPL and the SPL is on par with the Championship and QPR play in the Championship, then how is Hooper making a step up? Do you mean he's going sideways? Have you been possessed by Tickler?
SPL is nowhere near a par with the championship I'm afraid, but neither is it a step up from Celtic as champions league football is above anything in the championship.
Ha ha - no I meant to add that there was better all round quality in the Championship, plus it's a bigger league! Celtic have a Championship standard side, but some sides in the SPL are L1 and L2 standard.
I don't buy into this Champions League, they perform because it is seen as a blue riband event. Like non league teams getting to the 3rd round of the FA Cup. They all raise their game, it's a shop window for most of the players. They are never going to win it and they rarely get beyond the group stages.
This says we're bidding £1.5m for Jenas after losing out to QPR for Palacios: http://www.caughtoffside.com/2013/07/16/hull-city-offer-1-5m-for-qpr-midfielder-jermaine-jenas/?
Wonder if we could sign this guy just to hear BBC RH commentary attempt to pronounce it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chitchanok_Xaysensourinthone
Hot news from the Transfer Leaker Manchester City manager Pellegrini desperate to replace the now departed Carlos Tevez will take up the contract of DJ Campbell after Blackburn manager Gary Bowyer said he was prepared to let the recently signed DJC leave Blackburn on a FAT. One sticking point could be that Blackburn do better lunchies than Manchester. Leeds Utd look set to miss out on Real Madrid midfield star Xabi Alonso after the player indicated a preference for Bradford City. Michael Owen will only come out of retirement IF he can play for Hymers College old boys. Reason is that Hymers has a spot for Owens chopper. more leaks to follow when known.
I hate to be a downer, but they're not funny mate =/ They're clearly done by a Hull City fan; references to things like Hymers, DJ going for lunch etc people aren't going to get unless they're Hull City's fans themselves. I mean, the Tevez one doesn't even make sense as he's already moved to Juventus. Having been sent by his Dad to pick up a spot of lunch, Alex Bruce was approached by a father and his little boy in the KC car park brandishing a pen and paper. Wanting to be a role model to the local community, Bruce Jnr hastily signed it for the young man. It wasn't until he watched Sky Sports News later that evening, however, that it occurred to Alex that he had accidentally signed a 4 year deal with York City. Begrudgingly, he emptied his locker and signed himself out at the KC reception, not realising he'd just signed a 12 month loan contract to AS Dragon of Tahiti, which had handily already been rubber stamped by the York City chairman. He was quoted as saying "I'm so angry I could puke."
Can't we just close this thread down. It's lingering worse that antibiotic resistant gonorrhoea. We already have two sticky threads for transfer gossip.
