If Cooper goes I wouldn't mind Johansen (Rotherham) as a replacement.

Coops the best keeper in the Championship?

Its inevitable that cooper will go..stats show he is the best, 1 year left.on contract so he either re-signs or has to be sold, rather then a year then nothing.
We are near the bottom so our players will be pinched by other clubs. Its how football works sadly.
Will be a loss but we have to accept that.

I don't see him forcing a move, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him sign a new contract. I think Argyle means more to him than it does to most players with him having been here his whole career. He might wait and see who the new manager is though, and see how things go there. It was pretty clear he wasn't happy under the previous manager and I don't think he'd want to sign away a few more years if a similar appointment is made.
It’s pretty funny that based on those stats Bazunu is pretty much the worst goalkeeper in the entire division, yet he was probably one of the most expensive (£12m) and most talked about. I have never understood what all of the fuss was about with him. I remember seeing him play at Home Park for Portsmouth and thought he looked like a complete liability: constantly standing in crazy-stupid positions and getting caught out with the ball at his feet - a footballing catastrophe waiting to happen!
I think this reflects what many of us on here think of him - that he has the potential to be a very top keeper, and he’s certainly not back to his best yet. At 24 he’s still quite young for a goalkeeper too so I disagree with those who think his value has decreased significantly because of his two injuries and his age.
The Stevenage goalkeeper took my eye in their recent match on Sky with Oxford Unitrd
I am a huge fan of cooper but unless his kicking improves I don’t think he will make the premier league
Nick Pope is worse than Cooper with his feet and he’s played for England several times.
Viktor Johansson has been brilliant for a few seasons now, he basically kept Rotherham up last season. He also has a cap for Sweden, he can do much better than Stoke and Argyle (unfortunately).
