But we've got a Brazilian winger playing for us... that should sway it.

Fulton is a passenger and has been for some time. Offers absolutely nothing, defensively, creativity wise or attacking . A complete and utter waste of a starting spot.
Agreed, with arguably a negative impact on our midfield and our ability to transition quickly from defence to attack (a key aspect of how LW wants to play) its hard to see how he justifies keeping Allen, Patino or Cooper out of the side.
Has it become a hot take to like Cooper? Maybe not in a midfield two, but I still rate him quite strongly, and am surprised by how little gametime he receives
He's one of few players we have who want to take the ball on the half turn and move forward. We've got better footballers but too many of them spend all their time looking backwards. Martin didn't rate Cooper too highly either (despite talking him up a lot while out on loan), even had Congreve ahead of him 18 months ago, but someone who can make a 5 yard burst in the right direction made a big difference when he eventually started getting games. Should be coming on whenever Paterson fades.
This is precisely my surprise, he's a fairly similar player to Pato but with a little extra pace and lower end product. He's one of the few exciting midfielders we have, so unsure by his role currently
