So are you happy with Cooks signings? Would you let him loose with more cash ?
Walton – we all wanted him back but now he isn’t keeping clean sheets every week he’s rubbish.
Burn – we all said it was superb business but now he’s not at his best he isn’t good enough at this level despite being our player of the year two years ago.
Kipre – has a mistake in him, but looks a good player.
James – class player.
Robinson – brilliant going forward but can’t defend.
Gibson – arguably the man of the match on day one, bossed the midfield. Got injured, came back and with the side no longer the same has struggled to make an impact.
Naismith – never a left back. Would like to see him where he is meant to be as he is probably one of the best crossers of a ball we have.
Windass – we all thought he was a top signing. Seems lazy at times but again not playing in his best position. Does look good in the #10 role.
Garner – 3rd choice striker who is experienced at this level. Seeing as we can’t afford Messi he will have to do.
McManaman – was unsure on this one at the time. Too hit and miss and can be a liability in defence. His lack of action in the first team suggests Cook doesn’t see enough in him.
Would I give him more cash? Probably, but it depends how much we are giving him. We won’t get 3 quality players with the Nick Powell money alone for example which everyone will expect him to do.
Spot on Cookie lad:
“It is what it is, and we’re in a division where the criteria for every team will be different.
“If we’re expected to be anywhere else in the league other than where we are, I wouldn’t buy into that in any way, shape or form.
“If other people expect anything else, good luck to them with that.”
Presume so Otter. I’ve seen nothing other than gutter press nonsense during the takeover (would happen anywhere) and then the new owners come out and say he’s brilliant.
If they weren’t a fan then he would be gone by now.
The problem is that some people think we are bigger and better than we are.
We will struggle massively this season and the sole aim will be to survive whether that is in 1st place or 21st place.
As usual though, we win and Cook is a genius. We lose and he’s out of his depth.
As I understand it “winning the ball” is totally irrelevant – even though the pundits and the man down the pub claim they know better.Same here, which is why I was interested to see TLs thoughts on it. Perhaps a regular thread piece if he doesn’t mind the hassle. ;) CLs version of Dermot Gallagher on Sky.
