Macca isn't being benched for Cooper but I expect Hughes to start next week (or after the international break) instead of him. Cooper would be on the bench presuming Macca is sold
This will show the other teams how serious we are . I know he meant striker but this is just the same.
Wonder if we needed to let Macca go in order to get Travis (as in makeweight)? Like others, I don't see much sense in losing Macca for Cooper. It doesn't really take us forward in any way.
This. Macca probably wants to play regularly and Hughes is the marquee defensive signing. Cooper there for backup and experience.
Clears the pathway for the next Greaves and adds in a lot of experience. Suspect Macca wants to be a regular starter. I can see why they've gone for the profile, just why oh why does it have to be that ****house? *That said if he scores a late set piece header to win next week all is forgiven.
