    It's a bit late in the day for us though, do we have a plan B other than wringing of hands in despair?

    Also cant find anything online or on the Norwich board about this? Maybe it was a case of mistaken club identity? :)

    May be he was so busy negotiating with Celtic, he forgot to ask the player how he felt about the move

    Don't worry, he'll fail on the digit count.

    Surely Harry, with his experience, wouldn't jump the gun ............... does not make sense.

    No massive surprise there then. He'll be a bit-part player for them whereas he could have become a legend with us.

    Always had a gut feeling he was using us to get better wages elsewhere.

    Oh Crap!

    http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/football-qpr-set-hooper-swoop-061450668.html

    According to Sky Sports News, Hooper has already agreed terms with the Premier League club and will have a medical at Carrow Road later today.

    Hooper is valued at around £4.5m with Celtic looking to sell as he is in the last year of his contract.

    Hooper has netted 82 goals in three years for Celtic and came off the bench as they eased into the third qualifying round of the Champions League at the expense of Cliftonville on Tuesday night.

    It had looked as if Hooper had all but signed for Championship club QPR with Harry Redknapp talking about how big of an impact he would have at the club.

    Redknapp told BBC Radio Scotland: "It looks like it's on its way to being done. Negotiations have gone well."

    "He's a finisher. He'll score goals in the Championship; I'm absolutely certain of that.

    "He's gone to Celtic; one of the biggest clubs in the world and he's scored goals. He's scored goals in the Champions League.

    "He's in the last year of his contract, so it's a good deal for everybody. It's good for Celtic to get the kind of money they are getting and hopefully it will be a great deal for QPR.

    "If he can come here and get 25 goals next season, then we will have a real chance of getting out of the division.

    "I think Gary is capable of reaching that sort of target.

    "We're going to need two strikers and I think they are going to have to weigh in with 50 goals."

    However, it now looks like Norwich is going to be his destination where he could set up a brand new striker double act with Dutch international Ricky van Wolfswinkel have already signed from Sporting Lisbon for club-record £8.5million fee.

    If I'm honest I've given up second guessing what is really going on; but here I go doing just that.....
    Maybe Harry thought that by making it seem the ink was drying on a contract it would ward off other suitors???
