That’s a problem Pennington had in Italy. He was losing his rag and had committed an offense against a ref, iirc. 

Players have to come to the A League for a reason. If Greenie says he’s not a dickhead, good enough for me. 

At the least seems like a squad player with plenty of experience. At the best could be a diamond in the rough who’s well drilled and will do a job for us. 

Perhaps as well he’s been told there are other contracts that might come through, but if he waits and nothing does, he’s back in the pro-game. 

Who is our assistant coach? This seems like an important job for keeping the squad together and everyone happy. 

 
Well said. Beggars can't be choosers and he's done extremely well with Rovers in Central League. In Greenie we trust!
They should sign him, and then move onto the 2 more foreign players. Maybe 1 attacking midfield, 1 defensive midfield. 
Cooke will be filling one of those roles either DM or AM so whichever one he's signed for, we should sign the last 2 as a ST and the opposing midfielder position Cooke is signed for.
Depends on Kazuki Nagasawa too, he's 34 now. I'd prefer they get another attacking midfielder or they could regret it by January. Had Ramy Najjarine, Sander Kartum, Sarpreet Singh, GSR leave, must get at least 2 experienced replacements surely.
