DrewDon Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Hoban is a good player, but I think one injury-prone centre-back is enough, especially as McInnes likes a thin squad. I'm starting to become worried that Cosgrove hit a purple patch, but twenty goals is a fine return and he is only 22. I think the problem we have with Cosgrove is similar to Stockley - it becomes too easy for us to bypass the midfield and punt it long, even though Cosgrove isn't especially good at dealing with this. It has definitely contributed to making us hard on the eyes, even when it has been effective.I still don't think he is suited to being a lone striker in most situations, either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logie skid boys Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 The scotsman running with story that Main is a target . they are usually spot on with our signings . no fees going to be payed for players. . Out contract and loans with oviously the loans were the quality will be coming. But i reckon we will be offering decent wages so we might be able get some decent out of contract. Lot good wages also been freed up with shinnie ,wilson ,mckay stevens , Middle of the park and left back is where the quality got come . or centre half if Mckenna goes . Ethan and Frank Ross have both shown that they could maybe follow Mclennan . rather see them promoted than some dross we have brought in as squad fillers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand it as a "Plan C off the bench to shake things up, cheap as chips, third choice striker" kind of striker. But his season with Motherwell this year has shown that last season was the exception to the rule. He doesn't score. It would make sense . Cosgrove best form was when May was running about like a tasmanian devil . Curtis probably does that better and more mobile. So possibly he is maybe looking at playing him like that. Main is not going to be played as a lone striker if he comes . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 8 hours ago, anotherchance said: I thought we turned our noses up at Stockley too easily. He did ok for us (elbows aside), was more use than Rooney away from home, and we let him continue developing elsewhere - I wouldn’t like us to make the same mistake with Cosgrove. This remains a bugbear of mine. I remember him being unplayable in the Maribor home match - and setting up sitters that Rooney squandered, or making their keeper make a couple of great saves from headers. Dons fans traditionally do not take very well to target men types - but I think Stockley also provided a goal threat, which was borne out with a £1M move to the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're at our best when we utilise the wings and get the ball to Cosgrove in and around the box. Occasionally he'll do something brilliant 30 yards from goal but it's not often enough to justify playing that type of football. Especially when the wide players are thirty odd yards away from him.

Rodhull Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Is this a subtle 'sneak peek' at next year's strip or is it one of the training/old tops? Doesn't look like this year's kit at least. Edited May 10, 2019 by Rodhull 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't match any of the Adidas teamwear kits i've seen but I don't think this year's one is a proper template kit either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Somebody must be at it with the Taylor rumour. He has just been transfer listed by the team that finished 15th in League Two. I know our scouting isn't brilliant, but come on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 If McInnes was to sign Taylor and Main and then f**k off to Florida for 3 weeks then social media will be an absolute blast! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
