Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
Seems the hierarchy have a higher view of him than most fans.
Re: Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
He did have one good game recently - I wonder if he's benefitting from TC's coaching. Time will tell I guess.

Re: Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
Me neither. Good squad player, steps in when he has to, and if he eradicates the daft mistakes out of his game, there's a good CH in there. Seems popular around the place too, hence his election as skipper for the season opener.

Re: Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
No problem with Cooper being offered another contract Nick, maybe with proper coaching he'll develop into a decent CB, still unconvinced he is a top six defender until I witness more consistency in his game. I really hope Liam goes on to prove me wrong !lufc1304 wrote:I'm eagerly awaiting Leon's reaction!!
Re: Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
Still young enough to develop and improve. Good on you LC, keep up the good work and getting better.

Re: Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
And good luck to him aswell I not only rate Cooper but also the way he gets on with the job. I like the player for what he is and OK ..Championship level could be his level but hold on he may improve and seems to be a top pro MOT.
Re: Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
He may have had a good game defensively, but he just hoofs the ball anywhere!weasel wrote:Seems the hierarchy have a higher view of him than most fans.

Re: Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
As do most second tier back up centre backs to be fair

Re: Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
My comment was very much tongue-in-cheek, Leon. I agree re his consistency, but am hopeful that an extended run in the team will help with that, and give him confidence. As I've said before, I believe he loves it here, is happy to be involved and seems popular in the dressing room. Not the worst bit of business we've ever done.1964white wrote:No problem with Cooper being offered another contract Nick, maybe with proper coaching he'll develop into a decent CB, still unconvinced he is a top six defender until I witness more consistency in his game.

Re: Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
Think this is the right move, Cooper has a value to the squad and in the market so may as well tie him in.
O'Kane also signed a new 4 year deal as well having gone into the last year of his original 2 year contract.

Re: Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
I've said before he walks in to half the divisions teams as a starter.

Re: Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
Having players who can play in a couple of positions especially as squad players is valuable, I am unconvinced anyone would show consistency when either not playing often or as part of some of our back 4's.............
Every game I predict a 3 - 1 Leeds win, I am traditional like that.

Not by any means Nick, we've had much worst at ERlufc1304 wrote:My comment was very much tongue-in-cheek, Leon.

Re: Liam Cooper signs new 4 year deal
Agree with this he needs a run in the team to make or break him, give him 6 or 7 games we should know by the end of thatlufc1304 wrote:My comment was very much tongue-in-cheek, Leon.

29 times in 2014/15
39 times in 2015/16
He only played 11 times last season because of his previous inconsistency which made Monk go into the transfer market & sign Bartley & Jansson who were both an upgrade on Liam
If TC doesn't feel he requires another CB & goes with Cooper & Pontus at the back this will be the time for him to stand up & be counted. As I've already posted previously I'm not getting carried away with his excellent performance v Bolton as I've often witnessed Coops have a stinker after a good game in the past
