But I mean in terms of now - Cook is the same age as Duffy. Cook wouldn’t have improved our defence at any point when he was at Bournemouth and the fact he’s out of the team now and likely off to Forest suggests it was the right decision
We had Greer , Dunk, Elphick, El-Abd at the time
I meant never played for Spurs
I think we knew the potential but there was no pathway to the first team for Cook and he was like 21 or so? Elphick was current and Dunk was preferred
The argument only makes sense if Cook is better than Duffy or Webster , but he’s nowhere near
Thornhill.
That said - did he not move when we were League One and Forest were Championship ?
I think Lynch admits his head was turned to easily as a youngster so he was angling for a move, quite a few teams were interested in him
Actually looking back at his career he’s certainly had one of the best from the Withdean era from the youth team you’d say.
Was actually a bit surprised that apart from Sunderland he’s managed 80-100ish appearances for each club - mainly in the Championship
