Caolan Lavery

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.

 

It was intentional - they did the same on Twitter.

 

I guess it's a tricky sell to anyone coming in because Adams clearly wants to play with one main striker and at the moment Cook has the shirt. So whoever comes in will need to wait and most players don't want to be on the bench as a back up.

 

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.

 

I’m glad we’re continuing to sign players with unpronounceable names.

 

They posted it as a teaser before they announced his name.

 

There again did Angol get the juices flowing?

Pretty astute signing imho, you never know with Lavery, could be another?

 

I think I would have preferred Aramide Oteh who is still a free agent I think - 10 years younger and would have been happy to be “back up”

 

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

 

Thank you, fully agree.

 

Could Watt cover for any absence of Cooke?

 

I dont think he is good enough. If window is shut and we have injuries he could offer something as a freebie. I dont think that something is enough now though.

He will probably end up in the NL given he hasnt been snapped up yet.

 

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.

 

My bad…sorry. These damn names!

 

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.

 

He's been linked a couple of times in the past. I wonder how far down he was on DA's list?

 

Some impartial reading.

I don't think anyone is expecting a world beater but if he can make a contribution off the bench or the odd start I think that's all DA is looking for at present.

I suppose it's all about competition for places and if those in front of him are worried sufficiently to perform a bit more consistently then in a weird way the lads behind them are doing their jobs even when not selected.

 

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.
