I thought Simeon Jackson was our plan-B on transfer deadline day. All the messages coming out of the club, Burnsey and Buckingham was that we had someone in mind other than DJC, then at about 7pm all that changed and it seemed like we were done for the day. That came at pretty much the moment that Celtic said that they were not interested in letting Hooper go to Norwich.
Given that Norwich can't now bring anyone in, if they've kept him in their 25-man squad, I very much doubt he'd be going out on loan.
