Think fair to say majority of us disappointed with not getting Hooper albeit to an extent that may be due to Dazzer assuring us it was a, boom!, done deal and getting our expectations up along with 'Arry alluding to it being a virtually done deal.
Some of the players we are going for are going to attract Premiership interest and to put it simply the majority of players will go for playing at a the highest level given the choice. Nothing anyone at the club can do about that. All they can do is reach a deal with the other club, try and agree personal terms and cross their fingers. From what we know they did that and getting Hooper from Celtic would have been a major coup we had no real right to expect them to achieve yet came so close to getting done. If anything they deserve praise for having ambition of going after high calibre players and almost getting them.
We did get Danny Simpson after all depsite alleged late interest from West Brom and some Serie A club which shows this can work and we have also added Dunne and Henry to boost squad.
No question we need a striker or two but having had time to think about it have to say think club have done well so far this window and still time to go. If we end this window without a striker that may be another thing altogether! Be nice to shift a few as well although can't force other clubs to buy our bandits.
