GARY HOOPER - £6M? GET REAL!!

Unbelievable that Celtic are after more than £6m for this lad. He's proved exactly what
in his career? Good goalscorer in the lower leagues for Scunthorpe yes. But now he's doing
what? scoring a hatful against Ross County, Inverness, St Mirren, St Johnstone?...these are
League One teams at best. Just been watching the clips of him on Sky, the feller is left
totally unmarked in the box for two goals. Thats the quality of marking!!

£2.5m at best.

take it you havnt seen him score in the champions league proper then?

that in itself can bump the price up.

i think celtic are right. hoopers class, just youtube his goal v rangers when his first touch skinned davie weir. wow!

they see decent players going for silly money, andy carroll 35m is the biggest example of how daft it can be. yet they are expected to let a proven goal scorer go for peanuts.

David Weir is 42 years old

i wish people would stop referring to youtube to show a players ability.

Talking about someone who has played football for like 10 seasons, a out of all of that a 2 minute video on youtube makes him look like messi!

he isnt worth 6m imo, 4m at best, would like to see how he could handle the premier league though.

Disagree sorry Taff.

The kid is a goalscorer. You cant teach what he has got. Scored goals in europa league and champions league.

If clubs are paying 8m for Jordan Rhodes, 7m for Jay Rodriguez then 6m for Hooper is about right.

true, that first touch would have skinned near enough any defender.

I agree with Polo, After watching the Scottish highlights, yes the opposition is of low standard, but you cannot buy technique and skill that some of his play creates.

Good player IMO.

We were ALL saying the same about David Goodwillie, how his flair and super-skill was
going to ignite the flame and get us promoted.

Austin etc have PROVEN themselves over time in a division a damn sight more difficult
than the Scottish 'One Team Premier' Division.

Six million for a Scottish striker is madness

Hooper proved he can score at champ level in a shit scunthorpe team. If the likes of Rhodes, who wasn't even proven in the champ, is worth £8 million they why should he be any less? Although I think all players are well overpriced

hooper got his move to celtic after scoring 19 goals in the same division as charlie austins in now in a worse team than burnley.

Taff I agree but Blackburn are shocking!! with a player with a gift, he would thrive under Malky, that's why I cannot wait til I see Campbell in a city shirt!!

premier league now is about a million pound a goal over a season

Oh come on Dave this kid is levels above Goodwillie.

Done it in Championship with a small club and has given some of europest finest problems.

Reports suggest they want £8 million.

Overated in other words people are saying?

The boy is very very quick and got great pace.. never stops running and is always wanting to score goals.

He could make it in the prem.

Maybe he is. But same applies. He's scored a couple of decent goals in Europe agreed but
the vast majority of goals he has scored have been for Scunthorpe, or against Ross Fish
Fingers etc.

If Austin, having scored loads in the Championship is valued at around £6m then I cannot
see how Hooper can be valued the same having played against Clydebank Shipbuilders for
the last two seasons
