I was told today by a very reliable source that Liam Cooper is in talks to come back. Yeah I know.

We had this last year with Sonny Bradley. Honestly, this nostalgic ‘jobs for the boys’ thing we’ve got going on is really tinpot. Dawson was fine. Rosenior I questioned the decision to appoint him to begin with due to his lack of experience, we’ve got Rocco Coyle, Stan Ashbee and Dawson’s son in the academy and we tried signing Sonny Bradley a year ago and someone’s heard that Liam Cooper is being considered <laugh>

I’ve even seen posts on here wanting Barmby back in a coaching role and even Windass for ****’s sake.

Isn't Stan our next big prospect to come through the academy? Rocco meant to be decent as well

Maybe but do you not think that maybe their name is a reason why they’ve been named on the first-team bench over others? I’m not saying they aren’t good but with the way Sellars runs the academy from what I’ve heard, a culture of favouritism and nepotism at the club isn’t out of the question.

Surely he doesn't decide the 1st team bench though, they might've had more favourable opportunities to train with the first team but I'd assume it's up to the gaffer to decide who he wants to use

I’ve watched a bit of Swiss football. There are quite a few gems in that league that could definitely make the step up to the Championship or even higher like mid-table Ligue 1 teams or one of the better Dutch and Belgian teams. It was announced in April that Ardon Jashari would join Club Brugge from Luzern for €6 million this summer. He’s a good, young talent and I can see him going to a top 5 European league in a few years after Club Brugge if he impresses.

Another player who I’ve raved about before on here is Cheick Condé who currently plays for FC Zürich. He’s been linked with Trabzonspor, Metz, some other French teams and Norwich in the last 12 months. Very good, athletic defensive midfielder. Defensively he’s brilliant and his work rate is exceptional. Always seems to be in the right place at the right time to make a tackle or interception. He’s also really good at bringing the ball forward after winning back possession and is quite technically-gifted on the ball and has good vision and passing range. Surprisingly good dribbler for a defensive mid. If there’s one weakness to his game I can think of, it’s discipline. He’s picked up a couple red cards this season and quite a few yellows. Has a tendency to be a bit too aggressive and reckless in challenges and lose his rag and lash out.

Regarding Celar, he’s a good striker. Decent presser, really composed finisher, good in the air, strong, not rapid but not slow either and can link up well.

Other young talents in the Swiss league are Renato Veiga and Thierno Barry at Basel, Alvyn Sanches at Lausanne, Albian Hajdari (would be a decent long-term replacement for Greaves) at Lugano and some others I’m probably forgetting. It’s definitely a market City and other Championship clubs should explore.

Unless you actually live there, how do you find the time to watch Swiss football?

Assuming we really are interested in Cooper and were interested in Bradley a year ago, is it really likely that Acun, Tan and Rosenior/Walter would be doing it on the basis that they played a handful of games for us over 10 years ago? I think coincidence is more likely. If you sign 15 players every summer and are linked to dozens more, the odd one is going to be a local or former player somewhere along the line.
