Wow!

Sorry to see Mark Cook go - great goalkeeper

Lima, June 14. - The England goalkeeper Mark Cook, 23, played at the Sports University of Peru, having accepted a proposal by the coach of that team, Nolberto Solano. Cook has a good relationship with Solano, whom he met in the bottom of Newcastle English and then met in the Second Division Hartlepool England, which facilitated the deal, said the coach. Solano said the goalkeeper decided to accept the proposal with the intent to further his career and will be responsible for replacing the national goalkeeper Luis Llontop, who has suffered a serious injury. EFE.

I am absolutely shocked at this, as he had agreed terms for the season. But obviously, he want to go onto bigger and better things, so good luck to him.

I wonder who they will sign in his place? Chris Elliott isnt up to scratch just yet.

Is this just for a month? Google has translated Cookie's link and it appears that their No 1 will be out for a month.

But as usual, Google translate is very hard going - anyone understand Spanish?

Gutted about this news, one of the best keepers in the BSN, will be hard to replace, lets hope Weaver already has a replacement lined up!

Nothing against Cooky though, Sounds like a big club he's joining, Good luck to him!

Does anyone know if this is a permanent transfer, or just a month?

Denied on the offical website, who knows!

Do you have the link to this? I looked on the club website and couldnt find it.

The translation, to my knowledge, as I am fluent Spanish:

As never before happened, an English footballer played in Peru. Yes, Mark Cook, keeper of 23 years of age is the 'pull' star will bring Nolberto Solano to strengthen the defensive end of the 'U'.

The team coach has announced yesterday that they are very close to finalizing their arrival in the need for a goalkeeper of expeence. And is that Luis Llontop has for a month of recovery.

'Ñol' Cook knows well: it is that shared training at Newcastle, where the goalkeeper was one of the best values ​​of the English club's youth team. Later, 'Ñol' see him again in the Second English Hartlepool, where Cook made ​​the most of his career.

The great leap. The British decided to come because of the respect he has for now coach merengue. It would also be his first international experience and would boost his career, which began in 2008. Cook arrive in the coming days, but only begin to address the August 1, when reopening the pass book.

Basically, it is stating that he is travelling out in the next few days, and will sign, but whether it is permanent or not, who knows?

Its on our official website, where they are denying it,

I hope this is a wind-up The Neil. Because that's word for word the google translate version. And it's gibberish.


All the website says is that Mark Cook is contracted to us and the club hasn't been contacted. Doesn't say that he wishes to deny it does it? Which is worrying.

It's worrying indeed, losing players like Picton Pell and now apparently Cookie, really need some reassuring from the club that a strong squad is still being built. Anxious but exciting times for Town

No, it is not the google version. I did translate it myself, but referred to a translation website for a few words and put them in. I am aware that it doesnt make sense, but dont forget, it came from Uruguay, and they are not known for their Spanish skills. I am fluent in Spanish, not Uruguyan.

Peru mate.

Peruvian then, whatever really.

If he goes, he goes. If he doesn't, then it's a bonus, isn't it.

Wonder who will replace him?

Nothing on the Club site about it though. Apart from that denial in June.

A bit nervous as he was a real "find" and will be hard to replace I suspect.

Hi guys,

Haven't got round to doing the site as yet as on holiday and Internet access a bit hit or miss. I have spoken to Simon however in an effort to keep you all update and the message is no deal has been placed or reached at present, so Mark is still a Town player.

Cheers,

Pete

It does sound like a deal will be done, and as he is contracted to Town we should be able to command a fee for Cookie. As the team he may move to is proffesional and at a high level (in Peru!) this could be a fair amount too, just don't let him go for nothing please.

He hasn't left for nothing. I'm sure Harrogate will make it public when the paperwork is finalised.

Well Harry, as you're his father/brother (sorry, not sure which) I guess you'd know better than most.

Does Mark speak Spanish?

So a bit of money for Town. But a problem...who in goal now?

He can't even speak English let alone Spanish.

Explain this then:

And it doesn't look photo shopped to me.

The simple fact is that in order for a player to move, then paperwork needs to be filed with the club he is leaving, the conference, the FA and in this case FIFA and the international clearance department, the peruvian FA and the buying club. That paperwork then needs confirming by all the parties involved.

Harrogate Town AFC have received no paperwork at present.

It doesn't stop a player from travelling and picking up shirts etc, it just means at the moment, he is still contracted to the original club.

As stated, more than once, if there is any update it will appear on the official website.

Cheers,

Peter
