So apparently its pronounced "hop-pee" rather than "hope".  That's a load of my puns consigned to the dustbin. 😔

If anything I thought it would be pronounced Hopp-uh

We have a hoppee, a skippy and now we need a jumpy.

Hahahaha imagine the whole away end at QPR singing this when he bags us the winner, I want to see it happen

Obviously I don’t know a lot about these two new strikers but they don’t strike me as players that suit a natural pressing game. Are we going to move away from that tactic out of possession?

Don't think we'll get Armstrong like, scored again for Ston and apparently looking sharp

Oh aye I bet they were.

He was a 19 year old kid who scored a hat trick in the German top flight for the team that were comfortably the worst in the league that year. I’m sure they probably were aware of him and keeping an eye.

Hoppe was described as someone who presses hard and Forss has really good defensive stats

Hoppe is a hard worker, Forss I know less about so can't say

Still our #1 target and still been told he can leave when Southampton sign replacement players

You could say that about most clubs when they sell a player though. We watch every game and we understand his importance to the team. An opposition fan is more likely to go into it uninformed and base their opinion on things like stats rather than what he contributes to the team.

I just think it’s irritating to see clubs like Coventry setting massively inflated price tags on their star men and standing firm with them while we’re letting Tav go for less than I feel he’s worth.

We might not even see that extra 2.5m, for all we know it could be tied up in them surviving relegation. And even if we do, I think given the circumstances we could have gotten more than 12.5m all told.

Coventry are in a position we aren't, Gyokeres has 3 years left on his deal and Tav has a year plus an option. We are not in a position to stand our ground, not to mention that Coventry aren't trying to repel premier league offers

Wilder has no history with this type of striker. He typically doesn’t go for big lads.. fingers crossed he actually wants these players.

Probably better he doesn't want them. Might be half decent then.

If Scott can get a quality LCB, a backup LCM, and a dynamic CM for £10m... Then we can come out of this stronger. Must be some lower-half Championship and top-half League 1 players that fit the bill. Maybe even Europe. 

After Hoppe thr striker situation is prob as we were... Waiting for the possibility of Archer, Armstroing, or Muniz.
