Seems another player that is great at carrying the ball forward

I remember him being quite highly rated a while ago, but the hype around him seemed to have died down a bit.

Not sure how he has been getting on recently, but if the club want him regardless of what league we are in next season then I am sure Murphy and co have done their homework and feel that he'll be a good addition.

They turned down £3m in January apparently, even though he had 6 months left on his deal.

Some Blackburn fans on Twitter don't seem bothered, said he fails to live up to his potential etc.

Not that that matters as Cooper is good at getting the best out of "bad" players.

If he has potential that he has "failed to live up to" at Blackburn, you can be sure that Cooper will get it out of him.

Indeed, always hard to tell the truth with what opposition fans think, half our fans hated Yates and now they love him.

Surridge is another great example. Dog shit according to Stoke fans, but Murphy and Cooper saw something in him and he's been excellent for us. Boro fans weren't keen on Spence either.

The club will have done their research before making their move for Rothwell, of that I have no doubt.

My Blackburn mate said hes good but goes missing in games. Thats like Zinc to me but if he can replicate the stats above with some improvement from Super Cooper surely we are laughing on a free?

Does he play Yates's position or Zincs?

Also a case of he's not ours anymore so we can slag him off.

Derby fans were like that with Ebosele, as soon as he signed a pre-contract with Udinese he was crap.

Blackburn fans were desperate for him to stay in January.

But like said, fans opinions really are pointless to listen too.

Could have just stopped after the first sentence

I agree, I'm sure our fan base has said similar as well about players, it's human nature.

13th placed Stoke fans still say Play off bound Sam Surridge is wank

Mentioned Rothwell previously on the Summer transfer thread:

MaxiRobriguez said:
Right,

#10 position there's plenty of options: Swift, Wallace, Powell (Nick) are all available. Maybe even Morgan Gibbs-White if he's available for a good price.
Central midfield I'd like to see us go for Joe Rothwell. There's also Josh Laurent who we were linked with earlier in the season also and our old friend Ben Osborn both available too.
Wing backs: James Bree and Lee Buchanan probably the only worthwhile ones chasing.
Up front: If we want pace/trickery to flank Davis/Surridge and replace Johnson then maybe David Brooks oould be tempted? Josh Bowler next option.

So, without spending a single penny on transfer fees, the template could change to:

Samba
Worrall Cook McKenna
Laryea Yates Rothwell Buchanan
Wallace Swift
Surrdige

Which if we're still in this league next year, would be quite the side.

Thought he was excellent for them when they came to the CG. Nippy little player very good at find pockets of space and laying the ball on.

Think if we went for him he's the Garner replacement.

Yep.

Looks like he's good with the ball but struggles with battling. Could be used as a #10 or an #8 with two players a bit deeper in certain games.

He's very positive on the ball. I love the way he turns quickly once he receives the ball. Never looks to go backwards.

Also has a very good pass in him.

Another one who has been at Man United in his early days. On a free, I think we can't say no. Cooper has spoken highly of him in public too.
