Opinion...........

I think 5 million is a lot of cash for a guy who.....

(a) Has just one year left on his deal and refuses to sign a new one.

(b) Has not really scored goals in a top european division

(c) Has not really attracted much serious interest from other PL clubs at the current price.

I think he could be a great signing but I just think we are overpaying.

    - He's scored 19 goals or more in each of the last 5 seasons!! (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 25, 14:36:40
      - Some of his first touches on this video are worth ?5m alone! (NCFC) - mrleelee, Jul 25, 14:52:12
        
        He kills the ball dead on a couple of those. Very nice. Where's his bloopers reel? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 25, 15:38:08
      - CL goals too remember... (n/m) (NCFC) - admckechnie, Jul 25, 14:41:41
        
        Yep he's been prolific (NCFC) - RochdaleCanary, Jul 25, 14:46:29
        
        Oh, well I took it to mean proven record as a goalscorer. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 25, 14:54:50
        
        Me too.... Proven PREM??? Very few can afford those players! RVP, ROONEY etc?? (n/m) (NCFC) - admckechnie, Jul 25, 15:00:48
        
        also no guarantee a 'proven' prem goalscorer will remain one (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 25, 15:24:07
        
        Bingo. RVP and Hoops for ?12 million?? Brilliant potentially (n/m) (NCFC) - admckechnie, Jul 25, 15:26:02
- We thought he was worth around ?7m in January (NCFC) - mrleelee, Jul 25, 14:15:04
  - I guess where we are now means that 5m is thought of as pretty risk free (n/m) (NCFC) - Hulk Rules, Jul 25, 14:16:07
    - Yep, also he is very likely to still have a value of ?2/?3 million in a couple of years (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 25, 14:19:54
      - Hughton loves one up front, but I honestly don't think Hooper is being bought to play (NCFC) - mrleelee, Jul 25, 14:22:17
        
        Yeah I'd agree. Bear in mind Hughton said he doesn't just see RvWW as out-and-out striker (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 25, 14:24:16
        
        Very good point, very excited about this season! (n/m) (NCFC) - mrleelee, Jul 25, 14:26:06
    - Well if he's better than Jackson, Martin and Morison then we're improving the team (NCFC) - mrleelee, Jul 25, 14:17:44
      - 5-10 more (NCFC) - Pragmatist, Jul 25, 14:24:28
      - Yep. We've obviously had him in mind to replace Holt for a while! (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 25, 14:21:28
