Hughes has been linked with the 25-year-old striker, who has netted 82 goals for Celtic since signing from Scunthorpe in a £2.4m deal in 2010. However, QPR have emerged as favourites to sign Hooper after Harry Redknapp submitted a bid of £4.5m.
F.A. cup 3rd round at LR please, what's the betting something would crop up and he'd have to miss the game?
Just seen an interview with MH on SSN - spouting off the same old rubbish he said last season: "We have some very good technical players in the building" "Its crucial to get the footballs out straight away in pre-season" "Players who can win premier league matches" Blah, blah, blah. You get the picture!
Hughes has every right including a genuine excuse to miss the game ........ should it arise. I've heard on the grapevine that he will have a medical appointment with his specialist to identify complete sets of missing vertebrae. The spine can be categorized according to level of the body: i.e., cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (upper and middle back), and lumbar spine (lower back). So to all you people who have continually bagged Hughes for lacking any form of backbone ............... or balls for that matter, please give yourself a pat on the back because you are quite correct in your prognoses. Furthermore,a secondary appointment has been pencilled in for a complete search of the missing balls. An ad in the local newpapers for 'The Missing Testicles' has drawn nil replies but at time of writing, an upgraded advertisement with a reward has now been added. UPDATE - His 'doctor of birth' has been unable to establish if any balls were attached at time of birth.
