Is he a target man type?

i see he’s been at Walsall

 

I suppose that's only correct if you label every attacking option as a forward though.

If you split them down until those that can play the lone striking role competently the number obviously reduces to 2 or maybe 3 with Lavery.

I agree that I don't see us bringing in another but by the same token I'm still not sure we've covered Cooks role adequately enough.

 

Yeah it's definitely enough bodies, I just don't see the direct replacement for Cook in case of rest or injury.

Like you say though, perhaps we'll just have to mix it up a bit if that happens and hope the players are capable enough.

 

Fair enough. I'm no social media expert, I just think it would look better if they used his name. Showing my age I guess.

 

It was posted 15 mins before the announcement. Playing a guessing game.

 

Thank you, fully agree.

 

It’s got Sparks written all over it. It’s a wonder he didn’t arrange for it posting 24 hours before?

The forum would have gone into meltdown! He, he.

 

Probably but the discussion isn't about Callum Cooke.

 

Been on trial with Hartlepool and Oldham who haven't offered him a deal this summer.

Let's just hope Cook doesn't get injured.

 

Some impartial reading.

Good look to the lad, one of those names I’ve heard over the years but can’t really recall him did we play against him for Sheffield United once or twice?

As I said with Angol you’re as likely to get a one season wonder out of someone like this as you are at signing genuine 20 goal a season strikers so let’s see how he does.

 

Let's hope so!

 

Looks a poorish signing but good luck to the lad and hope he comes good for us

 

Grave yard for strikers in past. So what’s point of bringing big names. Look at angol average joe even eye was like why??? And pre season so far shown that coach well and you get better player so see what Adams can do. Stockton wasn’t amazing till adams got hold of him

 

Would prefer this back up striker to a young loanee like Austin’s for example, least he has the experience of playing in lower leagues etc

 

Kelleher? Angol? Ridehalgh?

 

No, not underwhelmed with any of those.

 

We certainly need to up our game with regards goals from set pieces, they were something we expected in Phil Parkinsons time, the likes of McArdle, Davies chipping in now and again.

 

We dont know what his wage demands are. They may have stopped an offer. As the season gets closer they may drop
