Cooke? 4-5 years ago, maybe. Since then he seems to have gone backwards and doesn't come over as someone who takes pride in his performance, so I'd rather not. if Kear is interested, he must be very confident in his man management abilities.

Hock - yes, in a flash. Everyone deserves a second chance after a moment of indiscretion, for what in the grand scheme of things was a minor offence. If when he returns he can still play like he did before (he tore through our team on several occasions), he'll be fighting off offers from clubs with a sh|tty stick.

Bailey. Simple no. Has ability, and a one time looked like he could be excellent. Seems he'd rather trade off his ability in order to be an average player and an absolute knobber.

i'd take cooke. it'd be a risk but kear has pulled more unlikely ones from the brink. he'd have something to prove no doubt but at a possible cut price with rovers funding part of his wages for a year worth a punt imo

hock - agree, it's not like it was performance enhancing

bailey - does a job on probably not very much but nothing to get inspired about

I just don't like him but not for those reasons and yes he's a quality player but i would not wish to see him at Wakey, just my opinion.

I don't like Cooke, and more importantly I don't rate him as a player. Hope we stay clear.

Good point well made Mr. Kear.

No swap, and we might take him when he is out of contract on less wages. Seems fair.

Do you think Kear read this thread????!!!!

I doubt this forum would sway the balance on the future of Cooke but it wouldn't surprise me to squash rumours of a swap deal and money changing hands

I've no respect for Cooke the man from the stories i've heard and don't really rate him as a player ( only seems to be able to pass left for one )- don't think i'd renew my season ticket if he came to us to be honest . JK has my utmost respect , but i think we're better as a club to leave blokes like him well alone . Fingers crossed he ends up in Wales .............. looked hard ,but can't find the smilie i want for this one !(might get told off anyway)

I tend to agree with your points overall but 'don't think i'd renew my season ticket if he came to us' is a bit strong,are you looking for a reason not to get a season ticket?

No not at all .. and i suppose when it comes to it ,as a family we will all be there cheering on whoever's wearing the shirt . But do i want to see Mr.Cooke as a "role model" for my son , god no .
Obviously we all know of players in the squad who have done things wrong(Latu etc) , but i don't think there's anything to be gained on or off the field by signing PC . Like i say...- hope he ends up in Wales
