not606 Official Norwich City Transfer Rumour Thread - January Window 2013

not worrying, just think the way use conduct yourselfs in the bidding process is a joke.

 

Are you on the celtic board? Are you on the conference call right now?

 

I don't really understand the animosity. We made a bid that was below your valuation and you rejected it. We are obviously going to try and get a player for the lowest amount possible - that's how it works. Celtic will also do this when they bid for players.

 

personally think use are a decent side and are doing a lot better than expected this year. but i dont see why hooper would want to leave at this point in time, especially with the Juventus game coming up.

 

Is there a buzz about a potential replacement if hooper goes? I hear Saha could possibly be coming in.

 

yeah we should have offered more than we think he's worth, and small increases on initially rejected offers have often worked well for the buying club, fecking ludicrous to pay over the odds

 

theres no anomosity at least not from the majority of celtic fans. only thing i can see is getting up the nose of a few is they way use conducted your self by going public with it and a few think use are trying to unsettle him.

 

again a tactic that often benefits the buying club, everyone does it

 

Didn't Lennon go public first? Not sure if it was him or hughton

 

Look at from Hoopers position 1 quality game and half a season of dross opposition v playing a top quality side every week

 

Was it not Lennon who confirmed it when he said a bid was rejected? Before that it was just paper talk.

 

theres no one really in mind to replace hooper. watching him every week hes progressed so much, there talk of johnny russell from dundee utd.....but thats typical celtic in letting hooper go and replacing them with the cheapest option.

 

This is the same Gary Hooper who was decent in league one for Scunny (the equavalent league to SPL)

The premiership is a huge step up for Hooper £5million is over priced in my opinion

 

In fairness, he had a good season for Scunthorpe in the Championship as well.

 

And he was like, what, 19/20?

 

from the links in Scotland it was reported that it was leaked down south to the English press. dont think anyone would ever argue that the EPL is far better for playing the better teams. but for most players there main goal in football is to play in the champions league, something i cant ever see Norwich doing. rather than fight a relagation battle most seasons.

 

you said it "good"

To step up to the prem you would hope he would have done amazing in the championship.

Norwich do like unsettling players mind due

 

he had a better goal scoring record than Andy Carroll in the championship and look what that dick went for.... obviously that was a really over inflated price. but the lads gone on to prove he can score in europe and be a real threat 25+ goals a season striker and i think he would do it in any league if he got the service.

 

We've never, ever had leaks like this before. I think it's agents mate (Hoopers are from Essex)

 

By "Norwich like unsettling players" it take it you meant "Norwich like bidding for players in the same way any other club would".
