if given the choice who whould you take back. McGeady or Hooper?

whats everything else?

Griffiths has a lot more pace and good movement, excellent header, great finisher.

 

Hooper's a better finisher for me, better movement, better passing, better at holding the ball up, better at linking up with other players, better at retaining possesion, better at mixing up his game, stronger...

 

You said who was a top striker:smiley-laughing002:


If you meant too striker for us you'd have said so. Dumpling:bbpd:

 

I think that was fairly obvious, don't you? Look at the thread we're in, I'm no in world football pinning him up beside messi ya nugget:bbpd:, the thread is about 2 players who we'd like to see back here, not at barca..

 

Well the stats point to Griffiths as the better finisher.

Better movement? Hooper but no by much.

Better at holding up the ball? Hooper

Retaining possession? Hooper

Mixing it up? Draw.

Stronger? Hooper

Speed? Griffiths

Acceleration? Griffiths

Bit of magic, ie banging one in the pokey out of nothing? Griffiths

 

If you look at La Thumbs goal to game ratio with us, you must consider him a top player also then. That right?

 

Yet we're still looking for another forward??? Aye!!

 

The stats say otherwise

 

No, I genuinely don't, do you?

 

No, they don't. Hooper was more clinical, Griffiths misses a lot of chances but he does make those chances for himself a lot so fair enough.

Hoopers movement is so far above Griffiths for me, majorly. So much so that Griffiths pace/acceleration doesn't matter, Hooper makes far more use of what he has.

Mixing it up it's Hooper, Griffiths sits on the shoulder, runs the channels and wants to get into shooting positions. He's not a striker that can take the two centre backs and boss them, he can't drop deep and play as a kinda false 9, he doesn't adapt his game.

Griffiths is nowhere near Hooper for me, as much as I like his attitude and the bit of magic he can produce. He's comparable to Stokes for me, Hoopers a step above both.

 

Griffiths hold up play, link up play, first touch, one on one close finishing and awareness of what's around him in terms of support, danger and offside call, can all be absolutely appalling..

He's nowhere near Hooper, as hard as that is to take..

 

Hooper.

I like McGeady a lot more but we need a striker.

 

What do you mean no they don't? Aye they do the stats point to Griffiths being the better finisher. It doesn't matter how much you got a hardon for Hooper, Griffiths has a better goal to game ratio. Griffiths makes loads of chances for himself so he's bound to miss more, yet his goals ratio is still better.


You don't see Hooper running the channel though do you! No. Griffiths doesn't adapt to his game? He can play wide or up top. Seems like very good adapting to me.

Stokes is *, he's way below both them. And all three are all way below players like Hartson or Sutton.

It should be noted, a like hooper better and a think Hooper edges Griffiths as the better player. A just don't want him back for that reason he's not much better than what we got.

 

Aye he's no where near that top striker Hooper:smiley-laughing002:

 

Oh hooper by miles. Getting shot of McGeady for £9.5m was the best bit of business we've ever done.

 

I need to go and wipe my * I think, some wee * is all over it

Get a grip and stop acting the wido, you * up, made a * of it, no need to hold on and have 2-3 threads on the go

 

Hooper has a better shots to goal ratio. Hence better finisher, more of his shots go in. Stats point to Hooper

I disagree with the rest of that, so no point continuing this any further really.

 

Aye yer right it was a great bit of business because that money helped build the best part of Lennons team but, bringing him back a better more mature player into a good Ronny Deila team where he'd be much more effective would be another great piece of business

 

Can I say both.... I like McGeady because he's the first player I learned about when I discovered the club. For Hooper he was my favorite striker at the time other than Niall McGinn and really enjoyed watching him score.

 

Well Griffiths does shoot a lot thats always going to be the case:smiley-laughing002: Hooper scores less goals though


Fair enough mate, just one thing, do you not agree Sutton and Hartson were better than Hooper?
