    A natural finisher with 101 goals in the last 4 seasons for Celtic, 52 of them goals coming in the last 2 seasons. Still only 24, do you think he's worth a punt??

    He's looked decent every game ive seen him but its hard to tell if he can step up a level.
    50 out of his last 51 goals have been inside the box, so he's obviously a natural finisher, somthing we are severely missing!

    Kenny Miller was a prolific goalscorer till he came south of the border....think he managed 3 in a season (for Derby)...mind one was a winner against the mags

    Harsh to judge anyone for scoring 3 in a season for Derby when they were relegated with 12 points.
    How many did Phillips score in his last season for us?

    There is the argument that its a risk taking people on spl form but Jelevic is showing that it can be a risk worth taking.

    That Aluko looks canny at Rangers too

    Viduka did ok and so is Jelavic, so why not Hooper? A good risk. Buy Buy Buy

    I think Hooper may be worth a shout. As someone said most of his goals come from inside the box so he is a natural poacher. I just wonder how many points we might have got this season if some of the many missed chances had been put away. And MON's history at Celtic will mean the lad would probably crawl on hands and knees down here to play for him!

    Hes already said his dreams to play for England and he might have to move to England to get more recognition!
