You think we'd start Grimes over Cooper if he was here??
It's completely hypothetical as we'd not be able to afford him but you need to give your head a wobble

Really.
Where does form come in to this?
You'd play Cooper even if he was playing gash?

He?s right to be fair. That?s one of the worst takes I?ve read on here for a while I?m afraid.

Fair enough.
All I'm says big names dropping down the divisions doesn't always work out.
Look how it panned out for Harry Arter for example at Notts. Lucky for them he was only on loan.
*and I said 'may find himself benched' and if that would to be the case, that would be an expensive substitute.

Unless Cook is guaranteeing starting places for players if they sign

And we shouldn't be either.
I'm sure if we are in the market for a CB, we can pick one up cheaper who can do the standard required.
I'm assuming that Grimes and Dunkley are starters (as long as one is left and the other right) so apart from a big wage, Cooper my find himself benched.
We have Williams and Palmer atm on the books along with Naylor who can fill in.
Nutshell, I think Cooper would be a bad move. If one of Williams and Palmer leave, then replace

If Cooper did sign he would start end of story....dont sign someone has played in the championship on a regular basis and then leave him on the bench when we dont have others of that standard especially initially. If Cooper came in and played awful then yes Cook would likely drop him but thats not going to happen initially.

That said for what its worth i cant see him coming here anyway for that situation to arise.

Arter had barely kicked a ball competitively in the lead up to his County move whereas Cooper while not what you would call a regular has seen fairly regular football with Leeds and Scotland.

Don?t even know why Cooper is being discussed.

I understand he has been offered a new contract at Leeds and I really do doubt we are in a position to match it even if their offer represents an 80% cut on his existing wage.

Unless someone goes out then central defence is done, possibly a right back is required and certainly a goalkeeper. Beyond that can?t see much else other than loan players at 21 years of age or under.
