Morison was older, and only had 1 season of Championship equivalent pedigree..
Hooper, was ruled out of an England squad, albeit a friendly through injury. So Hoopers potential is greater, and Morison is Welsh....hence the price
There were also quite a few teams in for Hooper in and around the price we paid for him...

- Jordan Rhodes cost more and was unproven in the Championship. Hoops scored quite a few in (Other Football) - Vivid Data Shark, Aug 1, 22:51:23
- James Vaughan also scored a few with poor champs clubs (Other Football) - usacanary, Aug 1, 23:07:59
- I think the jury is still out on Vaughan, Morison in his first season scored more goals (Other Football) - Vivid Data Shark, Aug 1, 23:33:03
