Kevin 1 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Being linked with a £2.5m bid for him. Striker from Scunthorpe, scored 20 last season. Hughton is also confident of landing Scunthorpe striker Gary Hooper, who scored 20 goals last season and is ready to test his club’s resolve with a £2.5million offer. Oh, newspapers are also linking us to Real Madrid's Mahamadou Diarra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6253 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hooper looked good to me last season. He is quite clever as well and might add something different to the team. Not sure if he could make the step up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14001 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 More goals than any of our strikers in a worse team can't be that bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 20 goals for a shit team with no service? Swap him for Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1205 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 The lad might come through and make it, but a striker who can bag us fifteen goals plus must be a priority and I would worry that he'll be capable of stepping up to the that level like.

Gejon 2 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Why are you upset over this one? Because he has probably never heard of him. The same way he was pissed off about the Perch signing when in the same whining post he said something like "I have never seen him but I don't like him".

AgentAxeman 164 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 got 43 goals in 80 games for scunthorpe. he's 22, supposedly V.quick with a great finish according to those itk. sounds like the kind of forward Houghton would be interested in to partner Carrol.
