So if it does turn out to be Hooper, which on paper is a great signing, I'm wondering if all the "We haven't got a decent striker. Dome, Morrison, the Club, Talay have all failed. It's an absolute disgrace. Shambles of a Club" brigade will be popping in to comment...
Not sure that's fair; there were legitimate concerns that we wouldn't get one over the line, and it looks we have lucked out with his Iran move falling through - I don't think we haven't tried hard, though, as it seems like we've been looking to get him since August.
Legitimate concerns or not, we should at least be big enough to say 'bloody well done' if and when a signing like this is confirmed.
Well done Talay, Gill, Dome and Welnix.
