Cook seems to be a Jack of all trades but a master of none.  Wherever he's gone, he seems to be a squad player because he can 'do a job' in multiple positions.

I wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if Cook was moved on as we need a different kind of forward player.

Hard to disagree with the last few posts on Cook.  

I think I would actually be surprised if Cook doesn't move on this transfer window.  A.Rose came on ahead of him on Saturday, it's probably fair to say he was only on the bench because Cardwell had an injury.

Just one of those moves that hasn't quite worked out for either party.

Half a season into his deal, let's wait a while. Cook is a good player.

There's absolutely no doubt Cook is technically good. It seems like he's having the same issue now at GTFC that he had at Luton, in that he just hasn't found a position where he can effect games enough.

He's only really started games for us as a striker, which apparently MJ made clear is what he signed him as. But whilst he showed nice touches at times, a good work rate, and of course scored that great goal at Macclesfield, I don't personally think he had enough effect on games.

That could be harsh as he obviously played his run of games when we were struggling to find our feet early in the season. Maybe he'd do better in a team with other technically good players like Embleton and Vernam who he could link up with.

I can't help but think the ideal position for Cook would be either as the attacking tip of a diamond midfield.

Think it must be difficult for Cook as no doubt MJ sold him the idea that he'd be a regular on the team sheet and initially he was but the combination of an injury and Thomas improving his fitness, plus starting to knock a few in, pushed Cook out ..
And I'm not sure he has the pace of strength of Thomas and while MJ wants us to be a counter attacking team I can't see that suiting Cooks game at all....but I would say if MJ goes to a 3-5-2 I would be surprised to see Cook next to Thomas until Akheen has matured a little and is ready to start more games..
Woolie I think will see this season out then move on...

It's a long season and look what we've been through with defenders the last 5 weeks or so. Cook and Woolford will get their chances.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
