BodDon Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 If I had a homesick player at the club who had 2-3 players ahead of him in his position, I'd send him home until January to see his family rather than have him sit on the bench every game and get 5 minutes up at Dingwall at most, that must affect your homesickness even more. Dave Cormack seems to pride himself on clarity with fans, and this situation is anything but clear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Presumably some form of deal where he either thrived at Aberdeen, got a move to England and Atalanta got their £800k back plus Aberdeen got what was above that, or Atalanta took him back whenever they wanted. I doubt Aberdeen really spent a penny on him beyond wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be useful off the bench for a goal and a different type of threat. I just originally asked, wonder who will pay a decent fee for Cosgrove?. Goals or no goals, he is a very limited footballer. Poor control, does not dominate in the air, not pacy, can’t take a man on and doesn’t even have good workrate. No hate here bud. Cormack talking about winning things and improving the brand of football played etc. In that regard, I class Cosgrove similar to Considine, happy enough to be in the squad but won’t achieve those aims with them as starters every week. We already had a 2.7 million offer for him. So its not hard to imagine who would pay good money for him id say. Fair enough on some of the points. A portion of our support do truly hate Cosgrove though . Some who couldnt stand him proving them wrong on initial assessments of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A similar offer would be a great bit of business for the club, especially with the financial shortfall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don exotic Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Not a bad evening. Livi game on ice, which may give us some time for players to recover and County beating Hibs. I’m sure we will have lots of new signings by the time the match is rearranged, based on all the rumours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s not happening at Ayr, then adios. It’s definitely not happening at Ayr for Bruce. He’s being sent back to Aberdeen in January. Been a total flop at Ayr, I believe it’s attitude rather than ability. The last Dons player we sent back to Pittodrie with his tail between his legs was a certain Scott McKenna. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kerr upset with an Aberdeen players attitude smells like karma to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Happy new year Dandies. And to any others looking in. Hopefully we'll all get to go to a game in the new year so I can also moan I'm fucking freezing along with the football being crap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's actually got a better scoring ratio then Anderson, Main and Edmundson - I admit a desperate attempt to make him sound more appealing. On his day he's a good player but I agree that although he may be marginally better then what we currently have he's not a massive improvement. Same applies to Ross Stewart. Looks like we may potentially see: Out: Main, Cosgrove, Anderson and Edmundson. In: Ross Stewart and Brophy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 EXCLUSIVE: Championship duo battling Scottish quartet for free striker (teamtalk.com) Barnsley had already shown an interest in the 24-year-old – who has been capped by Scotland – and now they are ready to offer him a pre-contract in January. A number of Championship rivals are also believed to be looking including Luton, but he will also have the chance to remain in Scotland. We understand Aberdeen, Hibernian, Hearts and St Mirren are all looking to open talks with him over a free transfer move in the summer. Brophy recently reached 100 league appearances for Kilmarnock. In that time, he has scored 29 goals. So far this season, he has scored two goals from eight starts in the Scottish Premiership. Last season, he managed nine goals from 24 starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 A full swap of all our strikers would be really good, if possible. The fact that we’ve got Main, Cosgrove and Edmundson who are all pretty much the same player, to varying degrees of shite/arsed, means in games like today we are incapable of shaking it up. Stewart means we retain a bit of physicality and Brophy is more of a nippy attacker who can get in behind. He’s a decent talent who I think could do well for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson won't be away as he can only play for ourselves or Ayr. From what I remember of Brophy he's a decent player but his decision making is terrible. Hits random shots from miles out that are never troubling anyone. We don't often get to play on the break either which makes it difficult for folk to get in behind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
