Its a hard one. rhodes will be a great buy for the future and a future lambert hopefully, but hooper is a ready made striker for championship and then premiership. It depends if nigel wants to risk it with rhodes or stay safe with hooper. if he risks it with rhodes and neither him or lee do well then we have wasted an awful lot of moony on two strikers. SO i would probably go for hooper but then again rhodes is a really good player and a nice bloke. (saw an interview after his 5 goals, seemed such a nice person and handled all the questions he was asked really well.) I think that hooper would be goodie this transfer window and the rhodes in the summer, if we get promoted. That would be an awesome front to in 3/4 years time. Rhodes a target man and then hooper getting the knock ons and being more of a poacher.
That's pretty much what I was trying to say, only you put it better.
