Cheeky Monkey 0 Posted July 28, 2005 Kevin Cooper, Darren Purse, Jason Koumas and old Phil Mulryne.I thought they were skint !Phil aside, they are more ambitious signings than Worthy has made this year.Thoughts on Worthington on what has bought in ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,158 Posted July 28, 2005 Hmm I think you''re only looking at one side of the equation Cheeky MonkeyEarlier on this summer they sold or got rid of Gabidon, Collins, McAnuff, Thorne and a few others besides.As to the players Worthy has brought in for us I think they are solid players for this division and that a couple of them may have a chance of making it in the Prem should we get back there.

Lurd 0 Posted July 28, 2005 i cant see a midfield partership of mullers and koumas winning too many challanges! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheeky Monkey 0 Posted July 28, 2005 Fair points Mr R ! I''d have liked to see Cooper or Koumas come our way though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tumbleweed 106 Posted July 28, 2005 I''m with Cheeky Monkey- I thought Cooper gave us just that extra bit of bite on the run in during the season before last and he would have been an ideal man to have slotted in at right wing (a good shot and excellent crosser as well). Shame we didn''t go for him, or if we did, that we didn''t get him.If Mullers couldn''t get fit for us in the Prem I wonder what''ll happen to him in the depths of Cardiff.

NavMan 0 Posted July 28, 2005 That has always been one of my biggest wonders where worthy was concerned and that is why he did not go for Cooper. When you think of some of the dross we have had here over the last few years and the fans singing ''sign him up'' at the medal presentations outside city hall have always wondered why it never happened. Surely Worthy could see how good he was as well as the supporters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted July 28, 2005 They are replacing just replacing the quality they''ve lost in the last 6 months. I''d be suprised if they made top 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don''t how much much cardiff got him for ? was it a free? but it is well over a season since he played for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted July 28, 2005 I really don''t see the big deal. The only thing Purse did more successfully than our defence last season was get booked! Thats why he didn''t play the last chunk of the season. They have also got a lot of players to reduce their wages to be able to afford his - a bit of a risk.Kevin Cooper is a LEFT footed player and was played on the right wing because we were weak there two seasons ago. He was 29-30 then and certainly isn''t what this club needs right now. Also if he is that great why has he spent most of the last two seasons going in and out of the Wolves 1st team.Koumas might be a good aquisition if they can find the right weight of boot to kick him up the a*#e with! But I don''t think that he is the type of player for Worthington to sign with that sort of attitude problem. Also they have first offer on £2million for him!!! £2 million - I hope West Brom are not serious, his price is likely to bomb now he is on loan to the championship.And as of yet they have not signed Mulryne.

Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 28, 2005 Coops is apparently 30 now, and I believe we did make enquiries about a long-term deal after his loan, but Wolves wanted to hang on to him after their relegation.Worthy is trying to build himself a young/experienced squad right now. Coops would only have been a squad player (if we are lucky with Marney), and considering he was quoted thus, when he put in his transfer request: "I''ve felt frustrated by the lack of first-team chances and, at my age, I need to be playing regularly in the first team," he told the club website. "It''s no good to me to be playing in fits and starts."I don''t think being a squad player is what he was after...May also have been a bit expensive as back-up...

We need a Manager 0 Posted July 28, 2005 They look like they are putting together a decent side , Koumas if they get his head straight is the best midfielder in this division hence the £2million pound fee ,probably better than our best Francis and we wont even have him soon.
