Well.....maybe being a brilliant keeper at Plymouth is a not quite as good as we are all hopingView attachment 190349.................

From Little Oakley?

From Little Oakley?

No? He's gone. That's a pity. Marvellous little tapas bar there.

I've gone through most of the 130 page thread!

I’m still not getting you a coffee

I have been talking to a few Plymouth supporting mates down here and they are seriously not happy about Cooper going - they think he owes the club - meltdown is the right term! Also not happy with Rooney either!!

Seems like sour grapes

I hope you asked him to recommend Grbic to Rooney as a replacement.

Grbic to replace Rooney - now that`s got legs (if no arms)

 

[Benitachel]

Sky sport saying we have signed him for £2 million. That’s enough confirmation for me.

At least he’s giving Rooney a top vote of confidence on his way out…

His nan must be reyt a gilf

Unless I've misread, we've agreed a fee.
Still needs to pass his medical.

Don’t think Wayne’s all that picky

It's more than that....it's symbolic.

I have family in Plymouth, they've always been a small club with a poor history however it's quite large city with loads of potential.

Their fans have had little to shout about but they're so proud to have a local lad (Cooper) come through their Academy
and be in the EFL league 1 team of the year, basically he was voted best goalie in league 1 by the pros for 2022 and 2023.
Cooper was also voted by their fans as Plymouth player of year during 2022 and 2023.

So having such a prized asset is a symbol of being a bigger club and gives pride to their fans.
They all assumed that one day he would be sold to a Premier league club for 10 to 15 million,
giving them funds to bring in loads of other players and become an established mid table championship club.

So losing their prized asset for only 2 million is seen as an insult and brings home a touch of reality that size wise they are probably on a par with Rotherham United, natural level is league 1 with occasional stints in the championship and it will never change.

When you think we've sold Osula for £10 million + £5 million in add-ons, who wasn't even 1st choice, would have been mainly sub and never scored a single goal for us. Where as they've sold their best player in years for just £2 million. It doesn't seem unfair.

 

[Blade58]

Does anyone else think that this means Grbic has a move away lined up?

If clubs have watched his appearances for us last season just as we have, I would be shocked if he’s managed to line up a move away

That's it let's get some negativity in there for balance.

Has he already spent his signing on fee as I can't believe a keeper who has hardly played championship football has that car

We've been on the other end of this too many times also. It's not a nice feeling so no gloating from me, but credit to Wilder, Bettis and PA for getting us a brilliant deal. Let's hope he gives us a good few years of service before moving on for £50m netting Argyle a further, deserved windfall

I was thinking that, but maybe he’s blown all his money on the car and still lives with his parents

 

[Gin&Juice]

Signing tonight at 7:46, pitch side.

Special suprise guest appearances as well. We’ll not really, it’s Tony Currie.

Easy to do on finance when you’re taking home over £100k a year. Could also be a lease as well. Or an endorsement deal with local dealership
