Kenny Cooper, Welcome to Portland
Cooper is a huge signing for the club. His physical presence up top will torment opposing team's defenses all season. The only concern is his recent injury history, but I feel Cooper is returning to MLS with a desire to retain his past form. He has a chip on his shoulder and he wants to return to the main stage. His work rate will win over the Timbers Army, and he should link up nicely with Nagbe. Opening kick can't come soon enough.

Rumor: Portland Timbers Sign Kenny Cooper
Kenny Cooper's name has been swirling around the rumor mill lately as it looks likely that he will be making a return to MLS. When 1860 Munich pulled him away from the league a while back they paid a transfer fee, which means FC Dallas no longer holds his rights. Therefore the allocation order comes into effect. With the Vancouver Whitecaps using their #1 spot to take Jay Demerit, the Portland Timbers now hold the #1 position. We have been looking for a striker to partner with either Eddie Johnson, Ryan Pore, or Bright Dike, and Cooper would be a huge signing.Ian Joy is reporting on his Twitter account that he believes the signing to be a done deal:
"Kicker headline- Cooper goes back to homeland. Then its says he has left 1860 and will sign for Portland Timbers! Looks 100% to me!"
Let's hope he is right!
