I said I would like to see four boxes ticked to take away the risk involved in this investment. The fewer ticks, the more risk as far as I'm concerned.

I trust the club's judgement. I know they wouldn't want to commit to someone who they felt wasn't worth the risk but this is a huge decision for the Dons.

If the supporters back the club with hard-earned cash and the move doesn't work, it would be hard for the club to regain the fans' trust.

On the other hand if it works it could move us onto the next level both in terms of playing performance and supporter levels.

I commend the Dons for the initiative ... but I'd still prefer it not to be Paul Cooke. If it is, and they can assure me and other fans that they feel he is the missing piece to the jigsaw I will support them 100% ... and Paul Cooke.

I think wether its PC or not it should be a short term contract eg Jan 2012 to end Oct 2012. The club or its fans couldnt afford more !

Hope it is him , match fit he could get us around the park !

I pretty much agree with everything you have said there.
Maybe (if it is Cooke) we are not giving him a fair chance, but he has had a bit of controversy in his career.
Who knows even if we only had him for a year and we made the cut for the 'four' it would help us on our way to recruiting better players when in the Championship.

Quote: Jemmo "I know nothing officially more than you, I however assume it be a half back, as this is what we need. Also the player must be in an influential position on the pitch in order to merit the belief he can make such a difference, namely a half back.

We know it is a former Super League player, and have to assume he is no longer considered Super league standard or has another reason other clubs do not want him (or, lets be fair, he would not be considering coming to us).

That doesn't leave many names in the hat to be honest. I assumed it was Rooney until Chunskter rubbed it out, the only other name I have is Cooke or Long. I'm going for the more local option of Cooke'"

At least my mistake spurred you into giving your opinion. icon_cool.gif

And if your looking in Paul ... put that pie down ... The Dons Need YOU!

Nothing about this on workington's site and its not exactly something you'd keep under your hat is it? besides they signed peter lupton and resigned that stack bloke of theirs so find it hard to imagine them getting them both although I admit it would be scary for us if they did.

Thanks for the extra info Chunkster ... much appreciated.

That news ticks a few more of my boxes! icon_lol.gif

After Chunskster's news, the situation looks even more encouraging. If a guy is prepared to make such a sacrifice to play for the mighty Dons we really should be prepared to back him.

Round up all Doncaster residents for Tuesday's meeting!
