No - Wrath of the Barclay

No

These players we're signing are clearly not just coming for the money

Hooper is a great example of this - he had the option to earn more at QPR I would imagine

They're hungry and I'm guessing would embrace the opportunity to impress in one of the most widely known leagues during a world cup year.

Win-win situation all around imo.

Ok, so the Quag might not be providing us with a sell-on return, but who cares if he helps us cement our status as a permanent fixture in the Premiership longer term
