    Going by that then who would want to sign Mo Salah? After all he plays for Egypt who are two places below Scotland so he must be absolutely hopeless <laugh> <whistle>

    I agree that we should enjoy Raphinia while he here is this season but fully expect Phillips to stay at least one more year.

    Not sure where this story came from but would love it to be fact. It probably got invented because Orta has been in talks with Espanyol about signing their wonderkid Mateo Joseph Fernandez. However Spurs and a few more clubs are wanting to sign their top striker Raul De Thomas. For some reason we seem to be trending and in competition with Spurs for De Thomas. It would be a £40m signing for a start as De Thomas smashes goals in from anywhere and already nearing 100 league goals and a shed load of assists. Lets be frank here, this would be a big upgrade on Bamford, but is it true? I would say the media have put 2+2 together and made 5. Not even sure that Spurs are chasing him now as Harry Kane has said he wants to work with Conte?

    He is Egypt's stand out player, just like Gareth Bale has been for Wales whilst Cooper is not even a permanent fixture in a poor Scottish side.

    Yes you are being harsh. I don't see why any championship team with promotion aspirations would not want him.
    He has worked his way from league one to captain one of the biggest clubs in the country and helped win promotion before making himself look a comfortable Premier league cb playing under one of the best coaches in the world. He had also become a full international in that time.


    Invaluable talent and experience for any top championship club or newly promoted prem team.

    I think Forshaw is going to play a big part this season (if he stays fully fit).

    The reason for that may be because Scotland have a useless coach in Steve Clarke. Bielsa picks Cooper. I wonder which one is more highly rated around the world…hmmm.

    Put it this way, a full strength Leeds United (with Cooper) would beat a full strength Scotland (without Cooper) so your argument that Cooper is hopeless just because he can’t get in a poor Scotland team doesn’t really hold water, and overlooks the fact his international manager is a dickhead.
