Celtic boss Lennon accuses Norwich of unsettling Hooper with derisory,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Neil Lennon has accused Norwich City of trying to unsettle Gary Hooper after Celtic kicked out a bid of less than £5 million for their top scorer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The Premiership strugglers submitted separate offers for Hooper and Swansea Danny Graham on Thursday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the news immediately leaking into the public domain.
Sportsmail understands the player has been offered a salary rise from £18,000 to £25,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 a week to take him among the highest earners although there are concerns that his agents are trying to move Hooper on before their own contract with him expires at the end of the month.
Despite being told in advance that Celtic valued the player at around £8m and didn want to sell during this window,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Norwich submitted a bid anyway.
And that brought stinging criticism from Lennon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
made a bid and we rejected it. I really annoyed that it come out down there because we like to do our business privately,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said.
don like the thought of them trying to unsettle a player. I not going to point any fingers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it certainly not come out from up here.
looked at the bid,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we rejected it and it as you were. I spoke to his representatives today and we made our position clear. We made an offer to them on a new contract and we waiting back to hear from them. Norwich valuation is nowhere near ours. wants to stay, he wants to play in the Champions League and he wants to have a go in all the competitions we still in.
Not happy: Neil Lennon has hit out at Norwich
can stop bids coming in, we can stop speculation. But our position is quite strong on this at the moment. We don want to sell him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and certainly not for the valuation Norwich put in yesterday. Listen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], everyone has their price. I ve maintained that all along.
knows what we think of him, the club has made it clear to Norwich their valuation is not acceptable.
probably going to get it again and it might rumble on,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. But we made it clear we don want to sell him and we waiting on his representatives getting back to us,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I saw his agent here this morning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. That all I can tell you.
New man: Tom Rogic in action for Australia in November
is playing well, he happy and we see if they come back in and accept our contract offer. It might all be academic.
it not,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then if Norwich come again we look at it and go from there. But we made our position clear - we don want to sell him. Then he ll have to go back to Australia and get it stamped at the British Embassy. So it will probably be a week to 10 days before he is available.
like him as a player. He came and impressed us last week. I liked him before that, having seen snippets of him. He had a meteoric rise and has also developed physically in the past year.
he trained with us for a few days, the guys were really impressed with him. So it not a massive gamble. I think we have a good player on our hands, who we can develop and who will be an asset to the team.
is a creative player. He strong, elegant and has a goal in him as well.
have a lot of players for the majority of positions, but we need that. We have played 34 games already this season and at times the squad has been stretched. It will be no different in the second half of the season.
will come into contention for the first team right away, once we get all the paperwork sorted out. He didn look out of place in training and it looks as though he has a good temperament as well.
