Kenny Cooper is seriously on the move these days, relocating more often than an Army brat.
It appears the big fellow will not spend his spring in
Stephens, who was shooting pictures and writing about the NASL back when most of today’s soccer-loving whipper-snappers were just a fantasy in some 8th-grader’s daydream, says Cooper’s return from injury to the field at 1860
He desperately wants to get back on Bob Bradley’s radar before the South African summer. So 1860 has loaned Cooper to Plymouth Argyle of England’s second tier.
Don’t forget, Mariner was a striker in his days as an

Whatever works out...
If he can get Plymouth out of relegation trouble, then go back to 1860 and get them back to Bundesliga, then he will be “Super” Cooper in 3 countries!!

I like Plymouth
It’s a nice city, although it’s rather stuck in the middle of nowhere. Does he surf? There’s good surfing to be had round there.
Oh, and I used to live in the same street as Mariner.
I’m really going to have to work hard to make a more pointless post than this one in the year to come…….
No, no, you're doing fine...
Keep doing what you’re doing. That post proves you’ve got the pointless thing down. ;)

Plymouth?
C’mon, I thought Kenny Cooper was pretty beastly in the MLS. So, how is he stuck at Plymouth Argyle? Is it really better being at Plymouth Argyle than FC Dallas? I mean really, the Fire would welcome him back, considering Frank Klopas’s new urge for attacking players. I just can’t get my mind around this. Cooper is a good target man, good at set pieces, and a very good striker by MLS standards. He just seems to be better than that to me.

CC Championship is indeed ...
… roughly the same level as MLS. (Cue the big Brit snob debate about the pitiful level of MLS vs. the glory of England footy in 3, 2, 1 … ). That said, Cooper is making WAY more money over there than here. There’s something to be said for an athlete cashing in while he can.
It can only
be for the money (no shame in that, btw – it’s not like he’s choosing between 50 and 60k a week, is it?).
You’d imagine he’d get more exposure as a potential WC player by returning to MLS and a relegation slog isn’t known for being an ideal tune-up for international tourneys…
I got excited that there was finally an American coach in Europe when you mentioned a coach from mls... but alas... he is british... humbug
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Sr?
Why does every story involving Cooper also involve his dad?
Kenny Sr used to be ...
… his agent, but he turned over the keys the KCJ car about three years ago. obviously, he’s still involved, but in a less official level.
He's not at FCD because...
they offered him very little money. The wisdom of MLS says you can’t offer Designated Player money to an American who is already playing here. So he gets sold to a 2nd Div. German club. Make sense? I didn’t think so.
I’m beginning to believe that Ken Sr. has a little of Tiger’s Dad in him.
