From what I understand, Hooper is the best paid player for the Phoenix ever.
... I'm no Hooper-hater, but for someone who is certainly of less value to us than Davila or Taylor, possibly on a Ball level, I'm not impressed with value for money here.
Yeah we're paying more for less output to date but that's due to Uli is completely outperforming expectations and we score for fun when Hooper is on the pitch (if I remember Dale's stats correctly). Also its hardly like David Ball is playing poorly, he's one of the top assisters in the league!
Personally, I'm gonna enjoy the football we're playing rather than griping that someone else is spending their own money.
