Completely agree, however. There is the paradox of if he wasn't constrained by our budget he wouldn't have been forced to find unearthed gems like your Kasims, Galdwins etc or even possibly used the Tottenham link as much as we have. But I'd like to think Cooper would have taken this route anyway and used the extra money to get one or two experienced heads in on top.
Power openly admits he does all the recruitment and brings the player in so I think the credit for 'unearthing gems' goes to him same with the Spurs link as he was obviously mates with Sherwood.
Coopers done alright but I still think Luke Williams has been the key component and instrumental in our style of play, whenever you see player interviews it's always his name that gets mentioned.
