No Plan B

That's what really got on my bosoms yesterday. We seem to have put all our striking options into the Hooper basket when Celtic had no need or desire to sell him. Surely we could have found out much earlier in the month that Celtic wouldn't be playing ball and then developed Plan B. The derisory early bids we made for Hooper have made us look rather amateurish IMO.
