Simon's Church Chris Gunter is available?

Every week I saw him getting stick from the Charlton supporters, he really should just hang up the boots.

Does anyone know if Cooper worked with the squad defensively all season or was he only in for a short period?


Which Cooper is this a reference to ?

Swift on his way to the Hawthorns according to The Athletic.

He's a Premier League player though yeah? Lazy move, easy money for him.

I thought a club like Bournemouth may have gone in for him potentially. West Brom would be a decent move though, would expect him them to be there or thereabouts next season if they can put this one behind them.

reckon Wycombe might snap him up if they go up, teaming up with McCleary

Really?

Wouldn’t say no - QPR fans seem to love him

Would be a decent bench option for a big man/little man combo with Joao if we are trailing in a game.


He’s 6ft2 according to wiki


Stood next to him a few years ago in his Poole Town days.
I am just under 6ft tall and he was shorter than me.
He may of course have had a growth spurt but that doesn't usually happen when you are in your 20s. :wink:

Poor move. He is 27 this summer. Surely this is the time to move to the PL. I would have thought a number if teams in the lower half of the PL would be interested.

We released him as a youngster because he was too short funnily enough.

Yeah really didn't have him down as 6'2. Always saw him in the Le Fondre mould.

Former England U21s coach Colin Cooper came in for a couple of days this week to help coach at #ReadingFC.

TBF if he has managed to get 50k out of Gourlay (entirely possible given Gourlay's previous business dealings) to play Championship football then he has done well.

Perhaps the tailing off in form over the latter part of the season has put Prem clubs off.
I would have thought the likes of Fulham and Bournemouth might have been interested as well as whoever fills the 3rd promotion spot.

Why would you want to move to WBA? He has to be more ambitious than that might as well at least sign with one of the relegated PL teams as the odds are that they will go on to win promotion next season. People have gone to PL clubs on a big transfer fee with much worse stats than Swift.
Can see him going to Palace, Everton or Saints, think he would fit the respective styles and the potential gaps in squads. Gallagher probs wont be at palace next season and a hole will need to be filled. Or JWP tries his luck elsewhere and they'd need someone with a freekick in their armoury. Everton haven't looked the same with out a certain Icelandic man went bad (allegedly) and Rodriguez was moved on.

Yep agreed. He needs to be more ambitious and as a free transfer I’m sure there would be interest in him from PL teams.

As a club I would put WBA on a par with Watford and Norwich (level of support, history etc.) so don't see this as such a bad move as others seem to think.
Disappointed of course that he won't still be with us but an understandable move.

Maybe Leeds will renew their previous interest.

That would be staying in the Championship

There don't seem to be many teams left in the Prem that play with a number 10, and not sure he's ever shown enough defensively to play in a 3 which wouldnt get the best out of him anyway.

Would think they have enough players trying to step up from the Champ to avoid wanting to sign another
