[Link] Gary Hooper return

A think he'd be worth 3 million but my point is there no much difference between him and our best striker La Thumb.

Both are great goalscorers and then have some different qualities. Griffiths has pace and brings more energy to the team and can head the ball and can score unbelievable goals from tough positions, while Hooper is more clever and can hold the ball up well with better link up play and good passing.

But if you mind right Hooper was poor at playing the lone role at the start then grew into it. Griffiths could do the same. He's improved at it already for me.

I'd rather we kept the 3m for Hooper and put maybe another 1-2 million more and got someone better that is a much better than Griffiths and make a bigger difference to the team.

Don't ask me who, the scouts should be looking if were are looking for a striker.

 

No he's not Like a said in a thread yesterday a mind him missing his fair share as well. And he went missing in a lot if games.

As far as I'm concerned we need a better striker than Hooper who isn't much better than what we got. So no point wasted millions on him.

 

Your probably right. But we don't need him. He's no really better than what we got. And Griffiths is 3 years younger at 24 so still improving

So much overrating on here of Hooper. Can't even get a game for Norwich.

Yet some people think he'd come here and make a massive improvement on the team

 

Is he though? Aye Hooper was more a predator, most of the time he was in the right place at the right time, but let's say he has the ball in the corner of the 18 yard box... So a tight position, a couldn't see him smashing it in the net like Griffiths can. Griffiths has a lethal left foot and can score goals Hooper can only dream if.

Griffiths scores goals out of nothing. When it didn't even look like a goalscoring opportunity.

Well agree to disagree, you would like Hooper back and a wouldn't:icon_mrgreen:

 

Griffiths has matched his goal record. Just look up there career stats, Griffiths has better goal to game ratio.

None the less a don't think would come back here again. Not because it's Celtic but in the end he just couldn't wait to get away from the SPL. His last 5 month or so he didn't look interested/happy.

 

What would you say his flaws were?

 

I'm not comparing but even the best would not be in a game but still stick it in when presented with a chance. Henrik

His attitude wasn't always spot on, noticeably towards the end, in my opinion but I agree he wasn't perfect, if he was, he'd never have played here. For the money we paid, unless pulling a rabbit out hate, he's as good a striker as we can get..

 

In the same boat, I rate him highly, not going to deny that, but he did used to annoy me at times..

 

Is there actually anything in this story?

No thanks . Lets just look to evolve , find ourselves a real gem of a centre forward . We have done it brilliantly for other positions in recent years ( Forster , VVD , Biton , Wanyama ) so hopefully we will strike gold up top soon enough .

 

If we got Hooper I'd tug my * so hard it would come off

 

Normally I'd agree with you as prefer to "evolve" also but have you seen our recent record on strikers that we hoped to "evolve".

Initially I was against this but slowly it's starting to warm for me......

 

You 2 need a room?

I would welcome him back, he would have to prove
himself again though & he would realise he made a huge mistake going.
