I think we'd all agree that a striker is needed, and majority of us believe he would battle with Stokes to partner Hooper. But at the moment Stokes looks to be the sharpest of both players. I watched the game today and Hooper looked very sloopy up until he got his goals. Im glad he got on the scoresheet and hopefully that will give him a lift and kick on.
Can it be possible that Stokes may become our number one striker? I still believe Hooper is our top striker but i have been very impressed with Stokes.

Both Hooper and Stokes will do well this season. There will be days when one of them is better than the other. Have faith in our bhoys! We will win the SPL with both barrels!

I think if stokes can sort his attitude out off the pitch he's be a better player for it. Seems to like the footballer lifestyle and i can't blame him but if it is affecting him getting into squads like it was last game of the season he has to realise he needs to stop it. For me Stokes is a better allround player than Hooper. Hooper has good movement and is a better finisher but i think Stokes creates more than Hooper does. Think they're a good partnership for the SPL. Euro they may struggle against the better sides.

Stokes is the more skilful player but they do play well together.
It's all down to himself, if he "screws the loaf" then he could become a legend.
Can't see the point in Bellamy.
Not the player he was, lots of injuries and too much money.
Much better to spend the dosh and buy Shane Long.

I like Stokes, he is a good finisher and I think the guy will be a fantastic player when he hits his peak but he has alot of growing up to do.

I agree with Roy keane when he said you shouldn't have to tell a 25 year old pro footballer to work hard at his game and track back! I don't get why stokes had to be told by Lennon to work harder at his game. David
Villa tracks back ffs! Bellamy will give these guys a wake up call if he arrives.
