Be careful Jeff. Whilst you're clearly right he shouldn't have been signed, I stated similar months ago when he was, outlining why and the place went into meltdown. I'd give the lad some slack because he's not a left back, but seem to recall some of the rose tinted brigade stating Cook believed he could play there so was the best thing since sliced bread.
Bottom line - he's not good enough to warrant a starting place in a meaningful game and not good enough to make the bench barring injury and suspension to others. Why he was signed on a 3 year deal I have no idea as there is no way we could get shut given his salary.
