Wolves did well out of the Afobe deal.... Better hope we get Hooper signed soon otherwise I can see them sniffing around him.
One reason for the low price for Austin was him being out of contract in the summer when he could have gone for free. Southampton must have insisted on an immediate answer or else surely QPR would have leaked the figure in the hope of getting a couple of other teams involved. Hooper is in the same position so maybe his price is about right as well.
Rhodes is a better comparison to Afobe, both had time left on their contracts but for me I would spend that sort of money on Rhodes rather than Afobe. I think Afobe is better than Imre states but to me he is a work in progress and we already have one of those with Joao. Rhodes has scored a ton of goals wherever he has been, I for one would still like to see him come to us.
