Sunderland were in before us with the bid, too

If nothing else it's given him something to think about.

I reckon it'll kick off after their game midweek, FWIW. Still very confident we will get Hooper at least. For all the 'PL options' talk above, nobody else has been mentioned. He wants a big wage and we are in the position to offer one (relatively speaking, of course.)
