Redknapp - why can't you keep it shut

[Shepherds Mush]

Its Celtic agreeing a fee for Hooper that forced Norwich's intervention as they then knew the amount Celtic valued him at (after having previous bids in other windows rejected).

If you want to blame anyone, blame Sky Sports and the media that broke the news of Celtics valuation of Hooper.

I blame Redknapp

[Factamondo]

i blame it on the boogie!

[Shepherds Mush]

Can't blame it on the good times, they went missing from here once we got promoted !

Redknapp is an idiot who doesn't know when to speak and when not to. There's a reason he's a media darling, becasue he gives them gems of info when he shouldn't. I think it was the reason Levy booted him as it affected transfers and fees etc.

I said before plenty of times he shouldn't be telling the world's media certian th.ings about potential signing or Bosingwa's "confidential" wages ffs. The bloke is far from being the sharpest tool in the box and his mouth creates issues.

So your saying if Harry had not said anything yesterday Hooper would have signed for us???

[Factamondo]

arry boy thinks sky sports love him but they really play him like a finely tuned golden flute...........imho arsene wenger deals with them how they should be dealt with......with distain!

[Shepherds Mush]

Gordon Strachan was the best - used to crack me up.

Journo - Gordon, can we have a quick word?
Strachan - "Certainly......Velocity"

Some people need to grow up, Harry was asked a question and he answered it. It's not Harry's fault people got all excited and it's not his fault Norwich made a bid. He even said you can never be too sure till the deal is signed. Why do people always need to blame someone when they don't get what they want?

The person to blame is Hoopers agent he has played a blinder and has 100% earned his percentage

No i didn't say that. I'm referring to the fact Harry says too much to the press fullstop. As mentioned in my above post, he was even elaborating about player's actual wages which is ridiculous. Not only is that a breach of information, but it basically tells every agent that we are actually paying such wages so any potential signing will come in demanding similar.

The first four words may well be the best description yet.

Don't you think that maybe Harry said this to get Norwich to move one way or the other. I am sure he was as frustrated as we were and wanted a decision made, so that if necessary we could move onto other targets. He said some time ago he was interested in Austin, but everybody was obviously waiting for Hooper. Now at least, the Club will look at other targets, and who knows perhaps it will work out best in the end.

Fair point Jane, but I doubt it. Because if that were the case and Harry had a brain cell, he might have used it a few weeks back so that we didn't go into the final week before the start of the season with Zamora as a likely option.

I honestly think you give him too much credit. He is not a smart cookie..... did you not hear his admissions from the court case. Didn't he suggest he can hardly read or write or not very well anyway.....
