Ronio Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Cosgrove would be a great signing. Exactly the type of players we should be looking at. Invest in good up and coming players who will have a good resale value would be the right way forward if we are truly looking to build over the longer term. How much he would cost and whether we have the money to spend will be the key issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about this guy, he has a decent record at Aberdeen, but he seems no better than Fletcher, without Fletcher’s know how His price tag is, thankfully prohibitive, as I don’t think we can spend that sort of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 We couldn’t afford any of them unless DC was gonna really go hell for leather against the EFL. We will not spend millions on a single player this window. I’d be surprised if we signed anyone permanently for a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is it's a great bit of business though as they paid 20k for him! Stoke are after him apparently! Different news outlets claim different figures, it was a bargain whatever it was! He had already signed a pre-contract with Aberdeen so they paid a nominal undisclosed fee to Carlisle to get him sooner. Aberdeen have a new multimillionaire owner, they don’t need cash, and they turned down similar money (£5m+) for McKenna before. Cosgrove won’t be sold on the cheap, he’s happy to stay and they don’t need to sell, and he has a contract for another 2-3 years. Stoke, Lazio and Leeds have been watching him apparently. I wish Wednesday could find more of these cut price gems from the lower leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frastheowl Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I can see Bony been our back-up option. I'm sure we'll be looking for a high profile striker. Nketiah links seem plausible, but unlikely. I'd imagine you can throw the likes of Adams, Gayle, Vydra into that mix. They will be without doubt interest in them all, and I'd be surprised if we aren't sniffing for all of them. But, the likelihood of us landing any of them, is probably unlikely. Expense and better options are issues we'll have to contend with. If it's clear none of those targets are going to come off, then Bony is probably not a bad back-up option. He's clearly been trying to keep himself in shape, training at Newport and Le Harve, and a 6 month contract, offers a pretty reasonable low risk offer for the club. The fact Monk will be familiar with him, also favours that scenario. Let's be honest, if Monk can get Nuhiu and Fletcher working as a partnership, you'd struggle to argue that Fletcher/Bony isn't an upgrade on that.

prowl Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I'm hoping that we sign players we've never heard of for not a lot of money. If they do as well as Harris, Borner, Iorfa, Luongo we will do OK. Least said about Odubajo the better although I hope he comes good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I’ve said before that we need to find the next Callum Wilson or Jamie vardy and be the stepping stones in their careers, or like them end up staying put as their teams got promoted. Someone like that Faal striker at Enfield who is attracting PL interest. Promise him first team football alongside Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 "If we can spend...?" I think you might have put your finger on the fundamental flaw in this thread before you typed a word of the opening post. You have taken a look at the club's financial position, right?

Do we have any scouts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
