The attention seeking comments on there in regards to Cosgrove like "awful striker, always has been" etc just show the dour mentality on that site. Why talk down/devalue a player of ours just to look like a plastic hard man online. Totally dismissing the contribution he made with 20+ goals the past 2 seasons. Same bunch of people who said McKenna was useless - Nottingham forum suggests otherwise with them saying he's easily a premiership class player. If you asked the question of AFC chat and twitter I'd imagine most would like the Cosgrove cash to be used on McInnes' compo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Dubai trip, in the calendar years 2020 and 2021 he's scored one goal from open play. He needs to go Undoubtedly not great compared to his previous run of form. But with Covid and his injuries Cosgrove has played in 16 games in 2020/21 and has only started 9 of those. He's scored 3 from those 9. 1 Penalty / 1 Free kick and the great finish against Hibs. I agree with the previous poster who says the Aberdeen fans wanting to slag off Cosgrove's contribution to Aberdeen over 2 seasons are a bit pathetic, same when stats are used out of context to make him look worse. It's a good deal all round at this time as I do think Cosgrove's head hasn't been in it recently but he was a great signing both for his scoring record and the massive profit we make on him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 He was also rushed back in to first team football. After an injury such as his he really should have had some reserve action to get up to speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sit in the main stand and all you hear is "Get that Cosgrove off he's murder" or "do you not know what a footballer is McInnes" etc etc. Our fans are really bad for supporting the team at home. I'm amazed Birmingham are paying £2 million for Cosgrove as he isn't worth that in my opinion but those on afc chat thinking he's total garbage are wrong. He isn't the best striker we have had but he's been miles more effective than most of the strikers McInnes has brought in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that's a reliable source or not is questionable. Should probably start with Anderson, but I also wouldn't be shocked if the tombola starts Hayes or Hedges as striker McInnes said in the Press Conference today that he trained with us today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCDannyFTH Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I still can't believe that we've never played McGinn up top since he scored 20 in a season. He might be nearing the end of his career, but he knows where the goal is and would likely offer more than Anderson/Main. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this but to be fair he has also been one of the best wingers in the league over the past 5 years or so. He is probably the best finisher at the club so I would be happy if he's played upfront the rest of the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Hopefully we ask for a sell on percentage in the Cosgrove deal, could be he excels in brum and then gets sold for £20M 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Stewart is a better player than Cosgrove IMO.Yeah, but in your opinion Neil Lennon is a great manager [emoji1787] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why i stopped going tbh, expecting a team full of Ronaldos all signed within our budget. Edited January 29, 2021 by red23 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s thought to be in the region of 20/25%. TGBC I've heard 40% and similar for future sell-on monies Aberdeen get themselves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
