Cooper driving this transfer do we think? Even him or the totally inept recruitment team and board planning and sanctioning this

[The Horse's Mouth]

Think we partly got him because we thought soumare would be gone

I’m convinced Cooper thought singing Zaha would be enough for us to be saved. Once that fell through I think he lost his mind a little.

‘Nothing’ players really bother me. Sorry to say but that’s what he is. Just tidy. Andy King without the pashun

There was a reason Forest signed every player available under him.

Andy King without the goal threat and quality teammates to compensate for the nothingness.

Has he got a song yet?

 

I'm thinking: 

Under floodlight loneliness 

Oliver Skipp emptiness 

 

To the tune of Snow Patrol, Chasing Cars

Just a completely pointless signing, 25m for a player we didn't need, who is 4th choice when ndidi is fit. And we cheaped out on finding a striker to help vardy.

 

Another one to add to the long list of failures over the last few years from a club that quite frankly hasn't got a clue what it's doing and is only heading one way because it refused to learn and hold anyone to account.

People say be careful what you wish for. A midfielder who doesn’t tackle, score or assist. He does nothing more than play 5 yard passes and we spent £22m of the clubs money on him. 
 

Where Top leaves us is going to be almighty shock.

An absolute waste of money, he is the epitome of a nothing player. Him on for Winks is not a like for like sub, at least Winks tries to look for a forward pass. Yesterday I could see Winks getting frustrated at the lack of movement up top. They were stagnant whenever he got the ball and looked up. Vardy 9 times out of 10 was offside. The defensive side is also terrible, he does nothing of any significance. We'd be lucky to get £5m if we sold him on now.

The English Dennis Prat.

I was thinking more Motorcycle Emptiness by The Manics surely?

He’s not as good as Den. Could Skippy do that assist to the assist that Praet did that one time against Brentford in the cup? No chance. 😂

 

tbf I’m being serious, Praet was a much better footballer, despite sharing some of  Skipp’s ‘peripheral’ style - unfortunately we all know the Dennis was made out of balsa wood. 

[TheGoldenGod]

Our worst ever signing. It's that simple. Grossly overspent for a warm body that offers nothing in a position we didn't need. People backpeddling on Cooper can do one. He's screwed us!

[teblin]

Didn't think he was that bad when he came on, but too much money and pointless signing.

Praet’s body ultimately let him down whilst here.

 

Watch back some of his clips with us, the lad had a good footballing brain and made some very intelligent runs (often without the ball).

 

Skipp is the definition of a crab!

 

I thought he might be decent but a lot of money, now I think he’s gash and a lot of money.

People have amnesia on here in terms of Cooper.

 

No idea, players clearly weren’t having him and I’m not believing (like some on here) that he had zero involvement with Ayew, Skipp signings - I’m 100% sure they don’t sign if Enzo was still here.

I just can't believe 20 million was wasted on this guy. I assume this is down to Rudkin.

I dont think it was cooper I think it was the absolute out of touch and clueless recruitment department  

[The Guvnor]

 

An awful signing, especially when you're trying to work within the psr rules, this is why we are in the sh#t, too many Lemons in the basket!

Along with Reid and Ayew who have been nothing players their whole careers, to sign all three in the same window is astonishing, most unqualified fans would do a better job and were against all these when they were just rumours.

[ceebeefox]

He’s not been good, quality players around him at Spurs made him look good when he played or came on for them. Will probably shine in the muck and bullets next season.

This the thing, he’ll shine next season at a lower level and there will be people who’ll go, look how well Skipp turned out. Similar to Vestegaard and Faes. Forgetting the fact we spent £22m, £15m and £15m on three really good championship players in the premier league!

Levy has pulled our pants down.
