that's possibly why - he came back in poor condition, and Adam's wasn't having any of it.

Good for him. My first impression of NA last season was that he wasn't taking any s**t - dropping Bassong for example - and it still looks that way to me. A player should come to pre-season at his fighting weight and only lacking match-fitness. Holt was similar, but Hooper's not the player that Holt was.

        Bassong has continued his career trend of one good season per club! (n/m) (NCFC) - Kirrie, Aug 6, 17:24:23
