Gary Hooper

some people are just never happy!!!! things are going great so lets find a negative to * on!!!!!!! Hooper = The man, Stokes = The man, Hooper and Stokes = A pure * to defend against!!!! DONT HATE APPRECIATE!!!!

 

Jesus * some people are never happy !!! For a player to come in and hit the ground running like he has is outstanding and EVERY player misses their fair share of chances just look at torres . The thing is when the ball is in the box he is usually not far from it and gets into the positions to miss so i am not one bit worried as he will score far more than he misses

 

* some folk are never * happy in here huh

 

re the o.p

I think people are lenient as he has put the ball in the net at some rate, that and scored a couple of last minute goals. A striker gets more praise then most other positions in the team and to be fair, he's been good

 

re the thread that was closed about shoulder barging-

It's easy to barge someone bigger than you off balance when theyre running

 

hooper is a broad, well built guy, he clearly has alot of strength and power

 

I wouldn't say he's well-built at all, which makes every time he beats a defender all the more pleasing to watch

 

he's shorter but there is clearly muscle to his frame. Just compare his build to Skippy's.

 

some people......... never happy

 

Skippy wasn't/isn't muscley. Aye he has muscle but I wouldn't say he was well-built

 

It isnt all about how strong you are. Its also about how you use your bodystrength. Hooper isnt the biggest and strongest striker, but clearly he very clever in duels.

 

how can you compare when theyre wearing the jerseys?
Hooper is taller than McDonald. I am not saying he has no muscle, or that he isn't athletic or whatever, but I don't think he is well-built as that to me implies a more of muscle-mass than an athletic frame

 

Hooper is just going too get better I think


Hail Hail

 

he is well built.

 

Hooper also provided one of my favourite moments of the season so far, this was fantastic:

Pandemonium.

 

Brilliant end to that game.^We're lucky to have Stokes and Hooper in our team if they're both capable of goals like this when it matters,another reason as to why Paddy should be at Celtic in the video too.

 

goals is what do,s it for me, not too fussed about who has the broadest shoulders,lol hope hooper or skippy dont read these threads they may get paranoid and start wearing shoulder pads and belly things to keep the lady boys happy..

 

His finishing has been class, bad luck at tanadice for me. Hes got more in his locker, he was superb at Pitodrie a couple weeks ago. He has something about him stokes doesnt

 

He has an energy about him that Stokes doesn't have. Stokes seems a more laid back character, where as Hooper seems really hyper on the pitch. Hooper always looks happy, when he scores he is delirious but Stokes likes a moan and looks just a bit happy to have scored again when he does.
