Hoppe has been stated at around a little over £3Million. He has played a handful of games for a well adrift bottom of the league Bundesliga team an only 5 in La Liga for his current team who have seemingly decided they want their money back. Doesn’t bode well.
Every player is a risk in some way, Gyokeres is a greater financial investment but has delivered in this league, his qualities are there to see. Hoppe hasn’t delivered in any league yet and we have no idea how he will cope against the relentless battle that is the Championship. Neither of us know if Coventry will sell, or indeed he will come, but I do feel his expectations will be more realistic of how he can get to the PL with us and Coventry may well take a lower offer of a huge % profit after 1 season, as the window draws nearer. Like on everything, time will tell and as Keith Lamb once said, we will have the team the owner can afford. I just hope it meets with the best manager we have had in a while‘s approval.
