From Despair To Where? I suspect Jaap wants a ball playing CB and for all Cooper's strengths, and he is a decent stopper with bags of potential, he looks like a baby giraffe on rollerskates with the ball at his feet. I think a year with Stam will see him take big strides forward.

Well he won't take small strides anywhere with those legs.
I think Coop is just a bit too awkward and gangly to make it playing above bottom end Champ. I think Dickie and Hyam are more likely to play at a higher level successfully.
He's definitely worth some more perserverance, but I think he should have to force his way past someone better into the team, not be number 2 from the off.

Awkward and gangly like Mertesacker? or Hangeland? or Naldo?

Being very tall doesn't automatically make you awkward and gangly. That's why I didn't say he's too tall to make it.

AH HA! But I would argue Mertesacker was awkward and gangly as a 21 year old playing for Hannover.

I've no idea, I never saw Mertesacker at the same stage of his development. I'm not saying it's guaranteed or prophesying the future, I'm expressing an opinion about what I think is the most likely outcome. Just saying Mertesacker at me isn't going to change my mind having watched Cooper play for a season or so.
