Rob, don't make a point of context, and then choose to ignore it.

Hooper can be considered burly. If you wish to be so focussed on unimportant detail (something you are selfcritical of) then that is your issue. When I look at Hooper, I feel he fits that description.

Now if you wish to mention the whole target man thing, that is fine and I have already stated he is not.

But, he is burly, stocky, thick set or any one of a selection of likewise terms. His chest is like a double decker bus.

You have misunderstood context.

Hodor can be burly and stocky because he is large, tall, etc, as well as thick set. The context is the object of the description.

Hooper, Gimli, Rooney, etc, cannot be both burly and stocky because they are not tall or large. They are simply stocky. By being short they preclude burliness. That is the context.

I swear this is my final word on the matter because it is clear it is just going to annoy everyone. I am afraid you are wrong, but I accept you do not wish to admit it, so let's just drop it?
 
Hopefully this RVW move canbest suit everyone. If I am honest, I dont see him playing for us again. If he has a good season he will quite likely be happy to sign for St Ettienne permannently.

Does anyone know whether there is a fee agreed for him at the end of the season?

It has been a tuff year and we all agreed that it was best to go out on loan for a season long. 

£4.75m
 
Excellent deal done by McNally:

"The Canaries have negotiated an up front fee of £1.25m with the Greens paying all of van Wolfswinkel’s salary during his loan stint in France. St Etienne then have an option to seal a permanent move for the 25-year-old for an additional £6m figure, with City also securing a 20pc cut of any future transfer deal should van Wolfswinkel make a success of his spell in Ligue One."

Note that those are pounds not euros.

That is a very, very good deal for us (assuming their option to buy isn't a hard one on only their terms). Even taking into account any relegation clause
