Former players and managers - general discussion

By the time we got one for him he was deemed surplus to requirements.

Heā€™s also become an established part of the Nigeria team, no? And played in the Conference League with Union?

Donā€™t think heā€™s a regular for Nigeria yet, they have some competition for places.

He played a good amount in the recent CAF, but they were missing Oshimen, Dennis and Inghalo who all pulled out last minute (with Covid I think). Beyond that there is still Chuckweze, Ihenacho

Bristol Rovers have signed Jordan Rossiter from Fleetwood Town. He was Fleetwood Town captain but missed most of the season with injury.

Not a player but may be of interest to some?

Fascinating insight - stick the ball in the mixer for the big man at the far post.

Must have learned that from signing Carroll.

Will be nice to see Steve Cooper more closely, follow his work. Together with having Forest back in general. A lot of Englandā€™s ā€œcultā€ clubs are back in the PL.

Nailed it about Downing.

He cowered in each game by paying the safe option backwards. He was bought in as a traditional type winger on the left, but he would rarely even attempt to get chalk on his boots.

Of course, there was some mitigation, with Suarez having one of those seasons where everything would hit the woodwork and Caroll failing to put away the chances created for him.

With Rogers then coming in, Downing was ill suited to his style. And of course, Rogersā€™ making everything revolve around him and slagging off players like Downing will not have helped.

It also brings back to the Premier league level one of the east midlands derbies.

Gerrard at Villa, Cooper at Forest, Beale at QPRā€¦ Suddenly our academy is becoming a pipeline for first team managers.

Iā€™m not familiar with Cooper. What was his involvement with us? When?
