Way wide of the mark there friar. Cooke is by no means a poor player. The trick is in utilizing him correctly.

think you should read the other post again !

Genuine question.
Do you believe Justin Morgan wanted Cooke in the first place,or was it a case of the chairman says "Yes"
As was the case at Chelsea when Abramovitch wanted Chevchenko,but Mourinho didn`t.

Probably.

Don`t know if you are being sarky or not.
Not trying to stir it,I am just wondering ,thats all.

Does he? Can't really think of many

Thats because Morgan doesnt sign poor players. He has though got a good record of getting the best out of the players that he signs.

Does he? I can think of plenty who have been shipped on quietly when they've failed. Mostly seem to be props which is interesting as he used to be a prop.

Name a poor player that Morgan has signed, in relation to the level that we were playing at the time of their signiture.

David Mills on a 2 year deal, 2008.

Mills was signed on a one year contract and went on to be a 30 game everpresent.
He was RE- signed on a 2 year contract so i win that on a technicality.

paul cooke

nick fozzard

davis mills

None of the above were classed as "poor players" at the time of their signature. Mills was no world beater, but I suspect his initial contract value reflected that. He has since gone on the become a right cart-horse, that I'll give you!

Poor Morgan signings are more widespread than many on here would have you believe, but as a % of total signings, I imagine its still quite low. The following are examples of poor signings (IMO of course!):

Desi Williams
Gareth Price
Garrett Crossman
David Mills

Interesting (as you have alluded to) that 3 of the above are indeed, props.
