Not sure about the reliability of this rumour, but please, please, please dont let it be true:

Having read it again it doesnt really say much. But lets forget this guy.
How reliable is Crippy Cooke?
I’d take him here to be honest. Had enough about him to be an asset at this level.
Provided we can halve his wages that is
Play him in defence, never going to trouble a goalkeeper, even ours.
Better than the Newport forward suggestion.
Theres no way we are signing him thougn and thank feck.
Rubbish loan signing.
Oh my god no....I can see him and madine up front in my worst nightmares....no goals at Christmas
If Niasse is the answer a player who can't score must be the question.
Bit harsh this. He can't score to save his life and I definitely don't want him permanently but he had an impact, especially when he arrivedQuote:

The reality is Everton fans said he was crap but would score some goals. Sadly he was crap and scored no goals.

A disaster of a loan signing. Would be gutted if he joined
Agreed. He played better on his own up front than anyone else we tried in that position, although his performances did drop off significantly in April. The lack of goals was frustrating, but it's not he was our only striker who struggled to score.Quote:

Nuff said (or not in his case) I think :hehe:
Absolutely dreadful player
Can think of a shot on target v West Ham (from 3 yards) and Liverpool (from 4 yards) and no others, in 4 months
Such a weird player, his movement, pace and strength were great and he definitely caused a lot of defences problems and opened up space for other players. But his touch was terrible and he honeslty looked like he would never score a goal.
At the time he came in Patts was injured and Zohore was...well...Zohore. We had a decent run when he first came in and I though his presence and workrate upfront contributed. He did tail off though
Yes, the only thing missing was football ability..Quote:

Not what we need.
His agent will be working on an escape route from Everton that gives him a reasonable length of contract and protects his wages. That rules out Cardiff even if we were interested. He'll probably end up with a club in the gulf or Far East - maybe a team-mate of Gunner?
I seem to think he was quite a good player with Hull in the Championship.
He was out of depth in the Premiership.
Hull were in the Premier League when they loaned him.Quote:

Decent strength, pace, hold up play. He looked alright when he first came. Not a consistent finisher and he missed a couple of sitters. Also think his form tailed off last month or so.
He was never supposed to be the main guy upfront, that's what sala was bought for. He was brought in as back up.
I actually think in the championship he would be a good player. Possibly just me :hehe:
He didn't score at all. No goals. Ball control was atrocious. Must be laughing at his take-home salary.
Nice smile though
He did have opportunities as well. I remember at least two sitters against West Ham.Quote:

Weren't we three points off survival? Had he scored a few times we could have stayed up. I sometimes think that I am a dying breed in expecting forwards to score goals....Quote:
