He sounds a decent prospect. I'm sure I read that he wants to play in England. That and money might knock Rangers out, but Birmingham and Wigan probably have more financial clout. Suppose the hope is that Snoddy will have told him that coming to Leeds and playing week in week out in the Championship would not harm his international prospects and might even be better for him than being on the fringes in the PL.

Hopefully! He'd be a great signing.

MASSIVE rumour - Hooper has signed for Leeds for £1.5m on a three year contract.

Just because someone on 606 said he'd heard his agent on talksport last night saying he'd signed for leeds doesn't make it a massive rumour mate.
If you read the thread further down another poster says he was listening to talksport most of the night and heard nothing!
Nothing on Yorkshire radio or the clubs web-site yet so don't go getting giddy

Actually, I didnt read it on there, got a Tweet from LUMad

Noticed the 606 page, difference between his and the tweet i got is he said 4 year deal, tweet said 3 year deal.

LOL at everyone jumping on the Hooper bandwagon. It was I who called for the signing of Hooper at Xmas when everyone was creaming themsleves over Billy Sharp.

It's hardly jumping on a band wagon many people rated him but thought he was out of our price range whereas Sharp was seen as a possible target with the money we'd receive if Beckford was sold.
I'd be happy with either tbh but i honestly think we'll be outbid for Hooper and unless SG has some firm plans in place i think we may miss out on Sharp aswell.

No. Nobody else even considered it.

Give over. People had been going on about him since the end of last season.

Personally I don't see a reason for the hype. Althought compared to Paynter it would be like signing Messi.

Latest on Waccoe is Andy Keogh to Leeds and Hooper to Boro.
