Don't get me wrong, I was one of the ones who liked Curtis Main, but to get a move to Aberdeen on the back of 3 goals in 31 games? His agent has played a blinder. If you think back to the 2018 SC Semi at Hampden, then big Curtis & Bad News Bowman absolutely ragdolled Arnasson & McKenna so maybe he wants to pair him up with Cosgrove next season and change the style a wee bit. I don't know. I wish him all the best. His performances in his first six months were great for us, but this season he looked like he would rather be anywhere else - he looked disinterested and frustrated. I was under the impression he wanted to head back down south but I suppose if Aberdeen come calling, it'll be difficult to turn down. It's not a signing that will take Aberdeen to a different level though. The thing that might give us a bit of hope is that when we signed Cosgrove he had scored 1 goal in 33 senior games, and this season he has scored 21 goals in 50 games. He’s certainly no Messi, but 21 goals, and they weren’t all penalties, is a fair return and means that we shouldn’t be writing Main off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 This seems like a bizarre signing to me tbh. I could maybe see this making sense if Aberdeen were bringing him in as an option to offer something totally different from their other forwards, but as it stands he's stylistically probably somewhere between Cosgrove and May but significantly worse than both. I tried to make excuses for him during his initial barren spell, but 3 league goals in 40+ games since his purple patch for us just suggests he's not up to it at this level tbh. There's a chance he manages to click at Aberdeen like he first did with us, scores 15 and makes us all look like dicks, but I wouldn't bet on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 We have the best goalkeeper in the league , Devlin gets fit pre season we have the best centre back pairing in the league . Lowe comes back we have the best left back in the league . Mcginn and Mclennan out wide are as good as anybody in this league and we have a centre foward that has banged in 21 goals. Do you genuinely believe all that pish? Haha fucking hell. You sound like a rangers fan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 We have tried signing a player who scored for fun elsewhere and it didn't work. I applaud our innovative strategy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take mcgregor over him though.Devlin & mckenna - decent centre half pairing when devlin is fitTiernay is easily better than loweMcginn and mclennan being as good as any wide players in the league is laughable. Dont really rate cosgrove. Had a good season scoring wise which cant be knocked. But timeWill tell how he does next season.Lewis ferguson is a cracking player 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A96 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 If we’re trying to sign Main , I think it’s more likely to be as a replacement for Cosgrove, rather than a partner. I think we’ll cash in on Cosgrove while his stock is reasonably high, if there’s any serious offer for him and I’ve got a feeling that McInnes and the board are anticipating an offer coming in. That said , McInnes will use the option of playing them as a pair if we sign Main and Cosgrove stays with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosgroves best run of form came when he had May running around like a dafty up beside him. If we can get Main doing the same (bearing in mind he's stronger and probably faster) then it could work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely he’ll be asked to be the partner for Main or Cosgrove , in the hope that he recaptures the form of that halcyon period. The second half against Livingston when we won 3-2 , I think it was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFC97 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 With Curtis Main you guys will get a hardworker who always knocks his pan in however there is a few disadvantages about him imo. Not consistent enough is one never looked like scoring at all this season one bit , second he has a touch like an elephant his ball control is terrible and is also seen running around like a headless chicken. Don't get me wrong he was really good when he first joined us but he hasn't managed to keep that up. There is a reason why Robinson released him the guy aint daft. If you were to ask me as a Motherwell supporter who I would prefer between Curtis Main or Ryan Bowman who are both identical players near enough I would say Ryan Bowman... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
