Talks are back on

We are back in talks with Celtic for Gary Hooper after an initial £4m bid was turned down earlier this month

Can I make a request that in posts like this we quote the public source - in this case the HDM - rather than post it as if its inside knowledge? It makes a difference to how we, well me anyway, view them.
 
Say that £5m gets you Hooper or Austin, which do you choose?

Personally, i'd go for Hooper. Really hope that we can get him.
 
Does that mean the board will be full of Scottish soon? (I was going to say jocks but didn't want Agro turning up and turning the thred into a racial debate)
 
I think that because we bidded 4 million for Hooper, turned down, so we bidded 4 million for Austin, turned down, Bruce must just be thinking he may as well go back for Hooper if he is going to have to pay more than 4 million. If it is turned down he will probably go back and bid for Austin again.

Probably. Although I'd like to see some more solid evidence that this is taking place before we start giving it large to the lads north of the wall.
 
Hdm says it's Celtic who have reopened talks as no one else in the prem is interesting and he won't sign a new contract at that wee big club up there ;)
