Doak was wanted by PL clubs.
He’s superb.

It’s a coup. He’s had some injuries but was a potential squad member in the making.
 
Not fussed Cooper was coming, not fussed he's not.
Ben Doak has exciting potential and if he gets going for us he could be excellent. Coupled with one of the permanents mentioned (Kamara or Inoussa) that would be good for me.

He's very highly thought of by a couple of people I know up here who do scouting work.Very young and relatively inexperienced but apparently he's on the brink of breaking through and making his mark.

No brainer if we can get him,he's probably perfect for the Championship and I'd see him as more than a back up as Liverpool will want to see some game time and improvement in him.
Exactly my thoughts

Baz..."I'm told, at this stage, there is no truth to reports linking City with a move for Liverpool youngster Ben Doak."
 
From our point of view, two possible reasons jump out to me. One is that we've changed our mind after seeing the response from fans to his name coming out over the weekend. Reportedly the club were quite surprised by the negative feedback, and I suspect they maybe thought it'd actually be popular with fans because he's from Hull. I mentioned earlier this morning that I wondered whether it might fall through due to this.

The other one is that we were probably looking at him to replace Sean McLoughlin as our backup left-sided centre back. Macca supposedly wants to go and play regularly somewhere else, with Blackburn linked all summer. I think we'd lined up Cooper to facilitate that move. So if Macca's move to Blackburn or wherever had fallen through, that would maybe lead to us pulling out of a move for Cooper.

Or maybe he just wants too much money.

The fans response is the reason why
