Not sure if anyone has mentioned it before, but this lad would be a great signing for us. He's a proven goalscorer, great finisher and is clinical in and around the box - exactly what we need! I know the standard's not great, but 44 goals in 63 games for Celtic is more-than impressive. And he's only 24! He's shown he can do it at every level (Conference South to SPL in six seasons), and I don't doubt he'd get 15+ goals for us in the Premier League. He obviously has Champion's League football next year, but getting knocked out of the groups by the likes of Apoel Nicosia doesn't compare to playing at stadiums like Old Trafford, Anfield, the Etihad and the Emirates week in, week out. It's gotta beat a chilly November trip to St Mirren, anyway??!!
He seems to have talent and potential but I wouldnt get too carried away. Is likely he could and will eventually be a good player. Yeah 63 apps for Celtic and 44 goals and also looked and saw 80 apps for Scunthorpe and 43 goals. This is on face of it imporessive but doesnt always translate into goals at highest level. Kris Boyd 143 apps and 101 goalsfor Rangers. Hooper would be gamble and not one worth taking. Cisse and Zamora are better than him at the moment and I would only want to sign players etter than them.
Dunno much about him, but if he's a big man then yes. Hughes seems to like a little and large combination historically, so he may be in the market for a replacement / competition for Zamora. I think he might turn to Mackie for Cisse's understudy.
Could easily be compared to Jelavic and for that would be worth a punt. But not if the prices for him touted about are correct, £10 mill+ I've heard
