Not sure where the club could find another striker who could get anywhere near 20 goals in a season, for less money, 3 years is a surprise but I wouldn't have thought its a massive increase just spread out over 3 years, we know what Cook is capable of scoring now up to Hughes to sort the right support out for the guy.

 

The thing is Cook will always be able to find the net, no matter if his physical attributes start to fail him... if in 2.5 years he's only fit enough to bring on the last 20, and realistically by then you'd hope we are at a level where we have 2-3 forwards better than him even if he is in the same shape as now, then he's still going to be a goal threat for that last 20 mins

 

I seem to recall an incident where some City fans abused him after his child died tragically young. Can't remember if this was at a game, or on social media, but I'm pretty confident it happened. And if that was me I'd definitely not entertain signing for a club where some of its supporters behaved like that towards me.

 

Nothing to do with Wells being there alongside Hanson then, whilst Cook was effectively up front on his own most of the season, and also wasn't getting the service Hanson and Wells got.

 

Top and bottom of it is he wanted to stay and he was reasonable with his wage demands.

 

Poor lad might have to drive himself l suppose, probably as he did when he was making the trips to Tranmere or Walsall. Carlisle will need a few strikers to be honest if they go up. Garner won't get another shot in L1, Edmondson isn't good enough for that level, neither is Patrick.

 

Pretty sure he'll leave now, but not convinced he'll end up at Wrexham.

 

Seems like Wrexham are hoovering up all the available talent reading this forum. It’s laughable

 

Its a difficult one, but i'd expect a manager with over 400 premiership games under his belt to fix the problem. And lets be honest, for all that experience under his belt we've never looked truly convincing at any time of

 

He's had one season in League 1 with Walsall. They got relegated although he scored a few goals.

 

Agreed, at Rogered Tart- just not good enough, all teams have to cope with injuries but it didn't stop the cobblers getting promoted.
Hughes knew we were losing Wright but our January loaness were a disaster-
Costelloe/Dion/Nevers/Bola and even Derbyshire contributed so very little

 

Agreed. MH just didn't have any other options and we looked lop-sided because of it.

 

Agreed. The recruitment strategy sèemed to be more focussed around getting bodies in the building as opposed to looking at quality. As a result we had too many players earning a wage who ultimately MH didnt trust enough to give them any meaningful game time

 

We need to be very mean and ruthless in sending players on their way. We now need quality rather than quantity. It costs money but if we are serious about promotion then so be it. We will lose our fantastic fan base we have built if we continue to languish in lg2. We need to be entertained as well, let’s not serve up negative football.

 

Riiiiightt………better start the promotion party now then.
From what I’ve seen we’d be better off with Kai Brunker.

 

I spoke to Cooke yesterday in the car park at the rugby club. ( He had driven from the north east with Smallwood and Gilly ) He was absolutely gutted with the result and said he didn’t know where he would be next season as city have not made an offer. Also said the player were baffled with THAT substitution.

 

Money will be good and we will be a part of that documentary, rubbing shoulders with a-listers. Why wouldn't ya.

Good luck to him if he goes. He has had a brilliant season but has been shite for the last few games and didn't turn up when it really mattered. A lot of them didn't in all fairness so if he goes then we move on.

 

Cooks turned down a contract offer from Stevenage as he wants to stay up north.

 

In all honesty Sparks and Rupp will be foolish to break the bank for Cook. If he leaves good luck but if he stays it has to be within our wage structure.

He carried us last season but overall he isn’t that good.

 

Give him a 2 year contract and he could potentially catch Hanson & windass to move into 3rd place in our scoring chart. He's only 30 off them
