CONFIRMED Michael Cooper signs for the Blades

[thehet]

The delay is probably due to our medics having an extremely close look at his dodgy knee ligaments - presumably there will be a lot of paperwork on his previous injuries , assuming we've got full disclosure.
After our recent travails with injuries , I can understand the club not wanting to offer a long contract if the risk is too high from a medical pov.

Highly doubt Wilder says they’ll be involved at the weekend if they hadn’t passed our 300 medical already.

We all know our medicals last a week, no rush.

No they don’t. They had one each last less then 2 hours, just STOP THE MEDICALS jokes

 

[Berkshire Blade]

"we" don't do the medicals either do we? Some players have mentioned doing them in Manchester or London

 

[Scarebus]

Lads probably died of old age during his medical

 

[YorkBlade]

Biggs if true

Dr Blade56, says his medicals last less than an hour each!
Maybe that's why we have so many injured players all the time??

I said less than 2 hours, they run up the steps and back down do 3 star jumps and if they can stay upright and conscious they pass. Pretty tough but we have to be sure these days

Gets angry and says Stop the medical jokes but continues with the medical jokes…

 

[NateDogg]

Surely they wouldn't have been say in the stand for the game if they'd not completed their medicals already?

 

[Mouth of the South]

It had better be an impressive 17 sec edgy video to announce his signing after this wait.

Start out of focus, show a knee, then elbow, slowly pan out to show his face, quick pat of the badge, layer on a Mighty Mouse (or whatever his name is) soundtrack and it's a wrap! It shouldn't take 3 days to produce that!

, I thought they needed to find their way to the Hallamshire, blindfolded and hopping on 1 leg!!??

 

[Proper Blade]

Mate of mine has just told me we're interested in Cooper, the Plymouth goalkeeper. Anyone know if there's any truth to it?

You forgot the bit where they point at the camera, can’t have an announcement video without some pointing.

Good shout YB - it must have taken hundreds of takes to get it just perfect. I'll be watching out for it when the vid is finally released!

I suspect the paper work, as with Burrows, takes a while longer to sort given the takeover. Just a theory.

You only asked me to touch my toes - why ? i still haven't worked out

 

[Nickydblade]

ITK from medical team about delay. My source said new signing had abdominal pain so they had to order a specialist textbook. When it arrived someone had ripped the appendix out.

I always look forward to the hand rubbing and badge pulling. Top notch stuff!

 

[YES Blade]

Hopefully they’ll get Cooper to do his video in keeper gloves, that will be an interesting twist to the video

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Perhaps he's dropped a bollock during the medical, which is a double cause for concern.

 

[FredZeppelin]

Maybe it's taking more time because we aren't just checking if he's alright......but if he's alright 'in himself'?

It's a new world out there.

utb

 

[YES Blade]

I’d be amazed if it wasn’t already completed before last night’s match.

Imagine being shown on TV at Bramall Lane, the transfer collapses and then have to return to Plymouth with his tail between his legs.

I can’t believe he’d be stupid enough to put himself in a position or his agent would allow him to either.

 

[BrisBlade]

Mind games ahead of the QPR game? Can we do a Wrexham and live rent free in the opposition's head?

 

[HeySethUTB]

They’re doing a behind the scenes/first team training vid. Be out tomorrow

Agree.....and Wilder has already admitted in his interview after the Wrexham match that both will be in the squad against QPR.
You don't say that unless it's all agreed and signed. I expect Cooper to start, will be interesting to see if he starts
with JRS or eases him gently by starting him on the bench and starting Brookes instead, the same as last week.

Apparently Vini had to do that part during his medical

 

[thehet]

What is Cooper's "boyhood club"?

 

[Sheffsteel]

What is Cooper's "boyhood club"?

He’s from Exeter on the other side of
Devon but played for Plymouth Academy from a very early age.

However his parents are originally from Leicester and were Leicester City season ticket holder for years. Cooper has admitted he supported Leicester City as a boy, he had no choice really

But he says as he got older his main team he supported was Plymouth Argyle with Leicester being his 2nd team.

 

[Champagneblade]

Biggs if true

Seems a very nice guy.

Thought the Plymouth lad came over well also
