If he wants to leave to improve his chances of getting in the World Cup squad then surely he has to move to the Premier League?



Yeah i agree, But i reckon he's too much of a punt for a bigger premiership team to take him on. SPL is a poor league as we all know.. :)

Hopefully, if Alex M stays, England scouts at the MadStad will be a regular occurence next season. Reading would, therefore, be a good choice for anyone wanting to improve their chances of impressing said scouts.

He was being touted as being eligible for Scotland until they found out he was a) born in Berwick and b) his grandfather was English like the rest of his family.... :lol:

Unlikely, given the teams interested. However, has worked with our Manager before, we are a much better location than some fans seem to think AND some transfers appear to be odd but still happen. On ther other hand, if this falls through but we get Rhodes instead, who would complain.

Don't forget though in FridaySeige's world, Jordan Rhodes is the player Lionel Messi aspires to be.

According to the EP today, Hooper's agent had talks with Reading on Monday so something is afoot in that direction, whether it is ultimately successful of course remains to be seen.

Seeing as he no doubt currently lives in that area I imagine that's quite a logical thing to have happened....

Didn't someone say earlier in the thread that he was on holiday? Maybe his representatives are just going to let him know who offered what.

If we aren't interested or likely to sign Gary Hooper, why would the Chronicle run this story?

QUOTE:-
Pick up the Chronicle on Thursday to read an exclusive interview with Hooper's representative.
