There appears to me to be an issue between Cooper the team manager and Scott the chief recruitment man.
Cooper was given 6 players in January; Morris, Arreola, Hamer, Hourahaine Whittaker Freeman. They looked very good on paper with 4 internationals 3 with numerous caps. So why is the team out on it feet?
With a fatigued squad none were picked today even with Ayew out. Arriola, Hamer and Freeman never realy got a chance Whitaker is not fancied and Hourahnaine does not play well in Cooperball, Manning had to wait for Bidwell to get knankered.
I put it to you that one of them has to go at the end of the season. Cooper loooks serously "old school " to me. He does not play Scott's players. This is a problem. [Post edited 20 Apr 2021 22:54]

Where has the story that "Cooper was requesting a centre forward in January" actually come from?. I stated readng this comment around March time. |
Hes said it several times throughout the season. Plus we tried to sign Greenwood from Leeds on January deadline day who is an out and out striker. |  |

Cooper does not bring in bad players but possible might be a little too picky perhaps? Swansea ended up with no centre forward instead of a developing young centre forward like Goykeres. Potter did wonders with Baker Richardson who scored 4 goals standing in for OMcB. I like Courtney but he was quite limited. | |

Cbr did ok for a player of his limited ability indeed. In fact he performed better than Gyorkeres, who scored 1 cup goal in 15 appearances for us. Remember that he was only with us half a season. During which we were playing well and Gyorkeres was doing nothing to indicate he was worthy of a starting place.
In Cbrs case, he was with us all of that season and only played in 17 games. By that January, he'd only played in 5 games. So if he'd been a loan player, there's a chance he'd have been recalled for lack of game time too and sent out to a lower ranked club. | |

CBR was a blunt instrument and was very strong physically. He should have scored an hattrick v QPR. He actually scored 4 goals including the first in a 3 -0 FAC cup win at Villa park. 4 from 21 games for a rookie was not too shabby and many of those games were off the bench. He was McBurnie's bone fide no 2. Freeman who has not a kick is right back cover. Surridge did a good job last season.
Swansea had no No9 at all let alone cover for a no 9.. I believe this was a screw up with Obafemi getting injured last minuite and Cardiff outbidding for Watters . A less 'elite' player could have come in in the CBR mould. Neither Ayew nor Lowe do tap ins. Ayew does assits for Lowe but Lowe has zero assists. | |
