How about Gary Hooper?

Would be a class signing

He wasn't exactly prolific at Norwich

Hi Mendax.
Neither was Michael Owen at Real Madrid, or Van Persie at Feyenoord.

Owen's goal to game ratio at Madrid was act high and Hooper is no Van Persie.
(Was he not played more as a wide player there anyway?)

Not sure mate about Van Persie, maybe, but the point I am trying to make is that players can become prolific goal scorers in the correct set up.
Cooper has scored 147 goals in 330 games which ain't bad is it!
Would Owen or Van Persie score 30 goals a season at Nowrich with the service they would get I doubt it.
Take Petrov He scored 1 in 4 at Celtic, at Villa 1 in 20 but what a player he was for us.
So I think any player can have a change of fortunes no matter who he is.

Beggers can't be chooser. Hooper would be fairly good signing. Not sure about him being world class mind. Fordy.

The trouble is Villadave, we are not a team that produces a lot of chances for players. The last 2 years have proved that
