Gary Hooper

Strachan was at one point.

 

Everton, Fullham, Newcastle, Sunderland, Leeds Utd, Middlesborough and Wigan.

 

I think he realized Hooper wasn't that good. We should've gone for a player who's like Juarez, in terms of reputation. I would have been more satisfied in that case.

 

I think hooper will score loads. I believe he would have been up against better defenders and teams for most games last season than he will come up against up here.apart from the Huns and united defence the rest are rank

 

its not all about reputation , look at larsson , not many heard of him when he signed, im not sayin hooper wil be like larsson but hes a but like skippy i think, i for one am excited to see him wearing the hoops in his number 88

 

I think what Leone is trying to say is that we need more Asian players.

 

He rejected middlesbrough becaue Boyd signed. And plus we signed him because Lennon thinks he is a good all round striker that can score, link up play and get in and about defenders. Am I right I'm saying that these were the attributes that Lenny wanted? Plus I've seen sole of his goals and whenever you watch soccer Saturday his name always shows up. Think you could possibly reserve
judgement until you see the boy play

 

Well, a certain Asian striker is what I hoped for, instead of Hooper. But, someone like M. Forssell would also do the job.

 

Hooper will do the job though man. Look at his record he has a record of more than a goal every 2 games with most of his clubs and has scored in a league that is of a higher quality than the SPL. I hate English football myself too but there is no denying that this guy does have a very good record and I think he will go far for us.

 

No way id rather have a player for e. europe or further abroad,
But we shouldnt judge on where they came from

 

This is very questionable. Mowbray did well there, but flopped in the upper tier, and here as well. Who knows how many Championship teams have paper-thin defenses like Tony's WBA had, I bet that's why Hooper scored many goals.

 

Leone has a point though. if I remember correctly most championship players turned to be out abysmal.

No need to mention they are overpriced too.

However the lad deserves a chance.

 

Are you anti English ?

 

or maybe it was because he could get boyd for * all

 

Yes. Hate them as much as Metrobhoy does.

 

Do you think Alan Thompson should be a part of Celtic or not ?

 

i dont care what nationality you are,as long as the business is done on the field
there have been many good english lads to wear the hoops

 

Thats alot of people you hate.

 

He played for us, did well, but that doesn't mean we should buy English players all the time. Overpriced, and lacking in quality.

 

What about English Celtic fans ?

Like myself, though i support Scotland lol
