He scored a few goals last season so hopefully the club won't back away from this player. I think we are safe to say that the Ameobi interest has ended thank goodness. |

But overall his goalscoring record isn't great in fact it's quite poor. Thing is we'll sign this player for £50,000 (if we agree personal terms of course) and then we'll maybe spend another £100,000 or so on another couple of players that probably have potential but will they be up to the job of getting us straight back up? Doubt it. We have plenty of money and we should be showing more ambition than going after Southend rejects at bargain basement prices. Hooper would be a good squad player but he'll probably end up as our BIG summer signing which isn't good enough. We'll never be safe from the threat of Ameobi while Adkins is at the club, if he doesn't sign this summer he will do next imo. |

I have mixed feelings about this potential signing. It's a well better target than Ameobi but I would have had Gillespie here instead though. 500k wudn't have been too much surely. I obviously would like the club to get Hooper because of his scoring record last season. It seems like he has potential to be a good player. 50k is not much of a gamble in my opinion. |
