Summer of change @TheStaggies continues with Alex Cooper, Gary Glen leaving the club along with Michael Fraser. Others to follow apparently

It's at times like this that sentiment can take over, however, Cooper and Glen have had ample chances to push for a starting place,
Your future is what you make it, nobody hands you anything in this life - you have to have desire, hunger and determination to succeed - I've not seen that from either player!
It's all very well complaining about foreign players coming in etc, but you simply have to show you are better and have more desire - that is what is lacking!
I have no doubt you will see both desire and hunger from the likes of Tony Dingwall and Kyle MacLeod - reason being they have had to survive on virtually nothing but YTS salaries while others have had more and provided less to the club!
These young boys are the future and you'll see the hunger in them - mark my words!

I'm not surprised Gary Glen is gone. I think he only got another contract last summer because there was so much uncertainty over the rest of the squad. We got him signed up early to be sure of at least one striker! He tries hard but isn't cut out for the Premiership.
More disappointed to see Alex Cooper leave. Latterly he's shown some flashes of his potential (some good runs and skill versus St Mirren and Partick) but when you consider he's 22 and still not properly broken into the first team, it's probably time for him to get regular games elsewhere. For his own development as much as anything.
Sad to see Michael Fraser leave too, but not surprised. He's been a good servant to the club but it's right that he leaves to seek games elsewhere. Hopefully we keep Mark Brown, who has really impressed me lately, and sign someone decent to challenge him. I think someone mentioned a Ghanaian World Cup player?

Very surprised at the release of Cooper. Pace is in short supply in our game and he was beginning to learn how to use his. Strange decision. Would not be surprised if he end up very close by!

Not surprised by Fraser or Glen, but disappointed to see Cooper go. Thought he still had something to offer and was improving (albeit not as quick as he would have with more games). Good option to bring off the bench, like a younger less Mike-Myers-looking, version of Corcoran.
Got a few younger players who can play the wide roles (Maatsen, Ross, Ferries, Dingwall), and De Leeuw, so it's understandable to an extent. If he wasn't guaranteed a start and had younger competition, maybe he wanted a fresh start. With his dad being let go too, it was maybe 'easier' for all parties involved as well.

Thought glen was unlucky not to get more game time he scored 1 or 2 important goals last season (Dundee,Aberdeen games) and IMO was brilliant in the New Years derby win alongside slew , always thought he would be good playing of arquin

Disappointed to see Cooper go. Thought in the last 6 months he dramatically improved and looked to have put his injury worries behind him. Could have been pushing for a start next season if he managed to get a good pre-season under his belt.
Glen won't be missed.
