A valuation for a player is one thing, getting that price in the current climate is something else. However one football pundit has valued a former Hereford United striker at £750,000.
In his Guardian column, Steve Claridge has revealed that he watched Gary Hooper at Roots Hall recently. He admitted that going back to his old club wasn't the easiest game for the 20 year old but came away with this impression.
"I still left Roots Hall with the definite impression that Hooper is a genuine goalscorer. This was a hunch borne out by the brace he got away to Leeds on Saturday, which took his tally to a more than impressive 24 for the season. If he improves his all-round game then there is no doubt in my mind that Hooper can progress to a higher level," wrote Claridge.
And that £750,000 valuation - time will tell.
