Gary Hooper

exactly

he is now in his final year of contract

 

The very fact that you say that makes it less likely. After all, you're not much of a judge are you? You're the guy who thought Leicester would get promoted but Hull City wouldn't.

How much more wrong could you be?

 

A little bit more, he also said we wouldn't make the top 6.

 

To be fair to him, I'm sure the vast majority of the football world - pundits and fans - would agree with him. It doesn't mean they're right of course, nobody will know until this time next year.

 

I'm not disagreeing with your overall point, but they really don't get '50+ most weeks'.

 

Be honest - most people would have predicted them to finish above us.

I predicted them to finish 2nd or 3rd, and us 6th or 7th.

 

Fair enough. I forgot guaranteed silverware.

If he comes to City it's because we've offered him a **** load of money.

If it happens and he keeps us up i'm not complaining. But can't see it happening.

 

Their average this season was 47k and their average last season was 51k.

 

It's bizarre that Celtic averaged 47k this season and second highest in the SPL was Hearts with 13k. It really is an abysmal league and for that reason I'd guess Hooper would be keen to leave now, he's won all he can there anyway hasn't he?

 

Why? Why be fair to him? He's a self confessed wum who now comes on here to tell us we're relegation favourites.

**** him, I hope Schmeikel goes for £1m, anywhere. I hope Andy King goes, anywhere. I hope Pearson stays and oversees relegation. Oh, and Woods goes to a second division German side for £2.6m at the end of the season and never scores for Leics again.

 

What can he win at Hull then?

 

Rangers averaged almost 46k but I doubt players would pick them over a move to the Premier League either.

 

Missing the point. Factor in the TV audience (which is the one that counts) and that leaves how many watching him each week?

 

Premier league survival? an England call up? A move to a bigger/better team?

 

He won't get an England call up if he played for City and did well.

If he does than England really have let standards slip.

The other two are possible.

 

The same England call up that Holt and Lambert got?

 

If good enough. Playing in the Premiership doesn't guarantee an England cap, but playing in Scotland pretty much guarantees you won't get one.

Although after last nights showing a couple of the lads from North Ferriby must be hopeful.

 

Wasn't Lambert England's top scorer this season in the PL.

Holt was also superb the season before (although not so this season)
