CITY SET TO MISS OUT ON KENNY COOPER - he's staying Stateside?



There's been several twists and turns but I think many of us feared City were likely to lose Kenny Cooper and it's starting to appear that way.




After City's bid was accepted came news that FC Dallas wanted to keep their man while Cooper himself provided indications that he would prefer Rosenborg of Norway if he was heading to Europe.

The signs tonight are that the home of J.R. Ewing have won the day. There may yet be another twist but this statement by FC Dallas General Manager Michael Hitchcock sounds ominously definitive.


“We received offers from multiple international clubs for Kenny Cooper during this transfer window, but we elected to decline them all. The international interest is a credit to Kenny, FC Dallas and the ever increasing talent level in Major League Soccer but winning championships is our priority, and we feel strongly that Kenny will continue to be an important part of our success as we compete for the MLS Cup this year and in the future.”
