Celtic eye double championship swoop

Such is life.

Just as well you did not mark my English uni paper. :icon_mrgreen:

 

which comes from papers. So its rumour, not fact

 

has Hooper signed for anyone yet

 

No but fans take tabloid rumour as fact. Opportunity to slate the board I suppose

 

Don't get me wrong mate i still get excited when i see headlines saying this guy or that guy will sign

 

Anyway, £2,7m is a huge price for a Scunthorpe United player.

I would nearly say that it would take a english club's finances to meet another english club's price tag.

Even though I think this Hooper could be a good addition, I isn't sure I would pay more than £1,5m-£2m.

But - all depending on the reliability in the Sun story. Not the first time I have read that he was nearly a 'Boro player. But even blind chickens... they could be right this time.

 

Celtic have re-opened talks with Scunthorpe over £2.5million striker Gary Hooper who was destined to join Middlesbrough.

gary hooper would be a class act in the spl. would be perfect for the spl

 

yercant see boro having skippy boyd and killen

 

His father told me last month that Celtic were the highest bidder with a bid of nearly 3 mil he hadent decided who to join hope he joins us good finisher watched him for a couple of seasons because his dad worked with us ,haven't seen his dad for a few weeks to ask him where he's going at least we are putting in the offers

 

clyde just reported celtic are close to finalising this deal

 

20 goals last season in championship, 30 goals previous season in league 1, he certainly knows where the net is. If he signed i'd say he'd score a lot of goals.

that would leave us with Fortune, Rasmussen, Samaras, Hooper, Mcgowan up front.

he could be a class siging, although if i had 2 million to spend i'd be tempted to go for Kamara.

 

Would be happy with the lad, scores goals for fun

 

Any futher details/news to add?

 

yeah i think i would be happy

 

Looks like we are in talks with Scunthorpe. I read in one paper that Boyd going to Boro probably helped him avoid Boro and it looks like we have the upper hand now.

Any chance we can change the thread title to something with Gary Hooper in it? I think the old article is kind of irrelevant now.

 

But;

“Gary has been here since last Wednesday and is training hard – he’s a great lad and just gets on with his job,” he said.
“We can’t do anything about the fact there will always be speculation.
“All summer we’ve had it, but right now he is training hard. It’s always better if these things are done in private.”

 

* sake is this still going on this has been nearly 2 month now players should be knocking down the door when celtic come calling

 

think it's between us and leeds
