Interestingly Stevie May has a better goal scoring and assist record than Cosgrove this season playing for an inferior team. Not too fussed if we don't sign him this window TBH. I don’t get the Stevie May comparison at all. One is a strapping 6’2” target man. The other is small, weak, and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a smashing lad, very strong physical player but whether he is ready to be the main striker at Wednesday I'm not sure. UTO Yes but was ever with in the city limit's?. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people long for incisive football with pace, but that’s more premier league. The champ is still about being competitive in the middle third and effective in both boxes. It’s nothing special. Just a long hard slog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfermarkt have about as much say in transfer values as anyone on here does. The bloke who runs it did an interview before xmas saying it's just a load of part timers making up the prices and he can't believe that clubs use it as gospel.

TbagMcgraw Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Cosgrove has a very good goal scoring record for a youngster. I know its Scottish football, but if you have somebody scoring that amount of goals regularly, is his asking price really that laughable? Plus, he still has 18mths left on his contract, so they don't really need to give him away. I hope we go back in for him tbh, Stoke and also Newcastle have been looking at him apparently.

The point I was really making is that Stevie May is still banging them in in the SPL and that tells you all you need to know about the overall standard of that league.

edinburghowl Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Off to Birmingham apparently for a fee rising to £2m. Think Aberdeen have had their pants down there, he’s not worth that kind of money. A lot of his goals were penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the same logic that saw us sign May and Rhodes in the first place. For what it’s worth, I don’t particularly rate Cosgrove anyway, but it’s about the other things a player like him, brings to the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you wonder whether there was any truth to this story, as there's no way we were going to be competing with that kind of fee, was there?

No. But if that's the going rate for a bang average striker, then I'm glad we're not competing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
