    It is great having aspirations to sign top strikers from all round the world but it is not as easy as we had all hoped. We keep getting the knock back because we are not big enough, not in the champions league, not in London etc etc but Hooper would have been a sure thing to come to us and this is someone who has not only scored in the SPL but also in Europe against some of the top defences in world football and would certainly strengthen our squad and first team

    One can but dream. Would have loved Mario Gomez obviously missed the boat on that one and for both I would imagine it would be like the Bierhoff saga back in Lowes day!

    By that reckoning we should sign Samaras who scored more than Hooper in Celtic's CL campaign last season.

    The reason we haven't bid for Hooper is that he's been deemed not good enough for what we're after now. Much like Samaras isn't.

    It is not always about not being good enough...sometimes a player just isn't viewed as a good fit. Obviously not what Mauricio wants.

    I think he'll be a good signing for Norwich, would have been happy to see him here if circumstances were different but he's probably not Poch is looking for at the moment.

    I thought that meant 5 out of 6 Saints fans are desperate for him to sign ...

    Smoked gray for the transfer of Gervinho to Rome, but it is still optimism. It increases the confidence to accept Osvaldo Southampton.

    Typically fantastic google translation from tuttomercatoweb. :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Zapata would be a good call, big, strong, willing runner, can play wide or up front, willing to take players on and have a pop, in fact he is the black J Rod. Not part of the main Colombian team but would have to replace James on the left or Martinez or Falcao up front, seems a none starter if Spam could not get the paperwork done, would be funny to piss off big Sam though

    Some decent players but none that I would be jealous of. I don't think they are at the same level as our two signings. If they had pulled of the Alderweireld signing then yes that would be impressive.

    I dunno. I don't think our two signings are on the same level as each other - I don't think Norwich have made a better signing than Vic, but I'd rather most of theirs over Lovren.

    I would have loved to get Redmond, especially for the knockdown price that was reported. Add van Wolfswinkel, Hooper and Fer, and they should be a much more dynamic team going forward, which was their big weakness a year ago.

    That really amused me. QPR fans have turned on him quickly since last season.

    They keep asking why he can't just keep his mouth shut and do business in private.

    That's Harry for you"...

    Yes, you'd think from Cortese's silence that we weren't trying to sign anyone. Unless....:(
