[Waller is my hero]

To be fair we have a luxury of centre halves - Hird, Evatt, Cooper, Raglan...there is only two that can play! £500k - £750k & snap their hand off

Not this year. Possibly allowing an increase next season. Any six fig offer and he will be off. Last year of his contract so the club can't afford to turn it down. It won't be popular but that's the reality of the post Bosman transfer market.

DA has also said most of a transfer fee would go on debt reduction a couple of years ago at the fans forum - the selling club comment

If Higdon was two years younger and wages were right, yes.

As much as I like Cooper - Hird is sufficient cover in my opinion should he depart

The need for a striker is far more important to be honest

[hilly81]

Leeds.

@Gids1980: Sources in WYorks say #lufc have expressed an interest in #chesterfieldfc defender Liam Cooper. (1/2)

Andy Giddings just tweeted that Leeds interested in Liam Cooper

[JonB]

Just read the same and there is a second tweet as well :-

Andy Giddings @Gids1980 · 45s
It's unclear wether #lufc have followed up that interest with anything concrete. They could I suppose just be testing the water. (2/2)

Not sure they have a lot to spend do they!?

Dont forget Hulls 35% sell on clause

Thanks, Blue - I couldn't remember the figure. That will probably have the heaviest influence as to what fee we * might * accept, if there's any substance to a potential bid. The net figure after the sell-on clause will be the bottom line for CFC.

[BodieUK]

Alan Biggs tweeted last night regarding championship interest in him

If he does get the chance, he'd be silly not to take it. The fee needs to be right though - How many years does he have left on his deal?

[RN Blue]

Let's hope Coops plays well against Villa and a bidding war starts with Leeds (not that Leeds have much to play with).

Leeds received £11 million for McCormack didn't they? Hold em to ransom I say.

35% to hull would be heart breaking. We would have to put the same sell on clause to any buyers.

Do we actually this 35% figure is true?

Think it was actually £9.5m in the end despite the reports of £11m.

Alan Biggs @AlanBiggs1 · 2m
Can now say what I couldn't last night...a bid from Leeds in the offing for Chesterfield's Liam Cooper. Expression of interest so far #lufc

Alan Biggs @AlanBiggs1 · 14s
Understand Chesterfield value Cooper at around £1m. There is a sell-on clause for former club #hcafc. Other Champ clubs could rival Leeds.

I can't see coops going anywhere he looks happy ere and him and Evatt are practically like a married couple everytime I've seen them there always together good mates.

Not sure that would be enough to keep him here, the deciding factor must surely be the money.

Doubtless Leeds can offer him more but by all accounts they are in for a difficult season, so he may want to bide his time.

If that's true, it shows that Hull rated him very highly and expected him to make the grade

Man Utd are short of defenders as well, and Van Gaal likes to bring on young players.......

[Martyg]

I like cooper he would be a big loss but we do have cover

[HSpireite]

Not a massive loss, wouldn't dent where we finish next season. Massive gain if he does go for silly money. I like Hird anyway. £££
