George Cooper out for the season

[PL2 3DQ]

Oh no, poor guy hasn't had much luck with injuries.

 

[Cobi Budge]

The first significant transfer fee we’ve paid in a long time and he’s barely played, both we and him and have been really unlucky.

 

[Lancastergreen]

I would say he is more unlucky than you...

I was referring to the club. Must be extremely frustrating to have finally splashed out to bring a player in only for them to be out for 2 years.

Is his contract up this season? Hopefully. Get rid.

Poor Coops. Long road back again. Good luck.

Harsh perhaps, but his wage can be used on a player who isn’t crocked.

 

[Emeraldinho]

Agreed. McNamee Mark2?

I’m sure George Cooper would thank you for your support 😯

Football is a harsh business at times. We’ve got a currently injured player who’s just been offered a new contract. We don’t need two on the books.

We’ve got Conor Grant and Ryan Law who can play in his position. Garrick has played there also. It’s a waste of a wage, someone who I’d imagine is one of the better paid players at HP.

As much as I like GC..I sort of agree with the 'get rid' option..The wage could be freed..yeah football dealings are harsh when a player becomes long term injured.. we have offered Brendan Galloway a contract, however I feel we should let George go at end of contract.
Bit split on this as GC on his day is a class act!!

 

[WoodsyGreen]

I think Cooper signed a three-year contract in the summer of 2020 so we can't 'get rid' until summer 2023.

Hopefully he bounces back from this and shows us all he still has a future at HP.

I like him, but to be honest, I don’t actually see where he fits into our team. I don’t think he’s a LWB at this level, he’d be unlikely to get in ahead of Conor Grant and Ryan Law anyhow. I also don’t think he’s the type of midfielder that our system requires. And he isn’t a striker either. I see him more as either a CAM or as part of a front three. So for all of his ability, even if he was fully fit I could only see him being a substitute. The issue regarding releasing him however is that the club paid good money for him and will want to recoup at least some of that in the form of on field performances or a transfer fee.
