what better way to show your intentions of winning the league than by signing a Japanese international, a Spanish U21 albeit on loan, and willing to smash our transfer record fee for a top drawer striker.

Gary hooper hasproven at championship level, under Adkins before that he is qCeltic that level, and has only grown at Celtic, now a proven SPL goal scorer.

Saints 1st offer was said to be around 3m, then upping to 4, which has now over double of what Celtic player for the hitman 2 years ago, to 6m. I see this as a take it or leave it offer from saints, because surely there's players of similar quality around for that price, with premier league experience.

Also Tadanari Lee should add that bit of quality too the side, and i have to be honest, i havn't seen much of Falque, but being young and Spanish, could posses that spark to get us over the finish line. COYR
