    As others have said it can sometimes provide a useful outside perspective of how we're perceived.

    It doesn't ALWAYS have to be tribalistic you know.
    Do i have to like him ghandi?.............more welcome than QPR fans sometimes

      Naaarrrrwich could lose out on signing Hooper, and lose to relegated QPR of all clubs.

      £5MILLION for a striker of the quality of Hooper is more than decent.

      If I were a Naaaarrrrwich fan, I would want to know why my club cannot compete against a Championship side for the signature of a player like Hooper.

      I'm all for being careful with money, but come on, Naaarwhich are taking that concept to a whole new level.

      One thing I definitely wouldn't be doing, would be coming on this board whinging to QPR fans that if Hooper comes, he will only be here for the money.

      • At the end of the day, most players move for money. Do you think people like Carlton Cole are moving to Palace because of his undying love for the club? No, they're offering him more money than most Championship teams. If Hoopers comes here for more money, you can't blame him. It's if he doesn't perform then it's an issue.

                I didn't think a player can talk to a team unless a bid has been accepted. I may be wrong.

                  Cant get my head around some fans - were are being subsidised by three multi millionaires at the moment (well billionaire in Mittals case) - as a club we have no way of self generating enough revenue to pay players £50k, £60k or £75k a week wages. The vast majority of these sums are being met by our investors.

                  However a club like Norwich are working within the financial resources the club self generate, hence why, even though they are a premiership club they are unable to compete with the wages we can offer.

                  As I understand we have offered Hooper £40k a week over a 3 year deal - I guess the best paid player at Norwich is probably only on £25k per week max. As a footballer with a limited period of earnings which deal would you go for?

                  The trick however is to pay players that are willing to put a shift in for their wages - as we saw from the disaster that was last season we seriously got this wrong - its however looking like Tony et el are learning fast from their mistakes.

                  I am really looking forward to the start of the season - think we have the nucleus of a side that could be competitive back in the Championship - bring on Sheff Wed!!!

                    Maybe its because I believe we're spending far in excess of that elsewhere....but wages will always be an issue for us.

                    • Taken from News Now QPR, Daily Star website;

                      The west London club had their £5m bid for Hooper accepted by Celtic earlier today and will now open talks with the English striker.

                      • Excellent stuff, can't see the other clubs interested in him beating our personal terms. The only thing we are good at is our lengthy and massive salaried contracts which are void of any early termination clause for any eventuality.

                        Also nice for once to be linked to a player that other clubs want.

                        • You can still get 2/5 on him signing for us so still must be some doubt. Also Norwich shortening to 2/1!

                            Sure this is not true, as both Lennon and Harry have said that talks have been going on.

                                Under Les Ferdinand:
                                Luke Freeman, top assists in the league: 4million
                                Alex Smithies, great goalie for this club: 3,5million
                                Charlie Austin, 19 Premier League goals: 4million
                                Jack Robinson: Contract ran out, left for free
                                And many more mistakes
