Nuwtfly Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Keen on the Aberdeen forward, along with Middlesbrough, according to TeamTalk. https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-middlesbrough-Derby-chasing-aberdeen-hitman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverurie Ram Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Oh eck he's no better than Waghorn, taller and less mobile, we'd be better off with the Oor Wullie Miller Bucket plonked up front or better still plonked at the back to sort out our defence. Why the continued interest in Aberdeen players? Craig Bryson made 9 of the Aberdeen players look bang average on Sunday after Celtic had destroyed them in the first half.

Ramarena Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Got a record of a goal every other game in the SPL and in his last 17 games he's bagged 15 goals. Not bad considering he's not playing for one of the big two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't get a shot off in god knows how many matches when he first came to the club and the fans moaned and groaned about him, then all of a sudden the goals came, but what records don't show you, is the type of chances he's scoring, and more importantly the amount of chances he's not scoring, the quality of the defences, the quality of the keepers, the amount of penalties, the quality of his touch (see the goal against Hibs) I know these goals are from last season. And he maybe going through another good phase but I don't think he's anything better than we currently have, so I personally think we should be looking for better than "Not bad".

DontTrustTheDevilInside Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 As a finisher he looks bang average and way behind Martin and marriott. The only thing he would offer is a tiny bit more height and a little more bravery into headers. And that's clutching at straws. Hope this isn't true as if you discount the penalties and account for it being in the spl (the Connor sammon factor) his goalscoring stats aren't that amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Och I bet these sassenachs dinnae ken who Oor Wullie es, They havenae heerd of him doon here!* *I've got two of his anniversary books along with his pals 'The Broons". We English are not all Barbarians. Can you export some more Scots like Dave Mackay, Archie Gemmill and John O'Hare to the Rams please, we promise to take guid care of them!

Shang Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Watching that highlight video there's something to appreciate when a players first and only thought is to hit the ball towards goal. Our strikers we have at the moment want to place the ball all the time in the corners, whereas this Cosgrove looks like he just hits it and heads it as hard as he can and hopes it beats the keeper. I think we could do with an option like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He earns a lot of the penalties he scores from. Stats on a par with Morelos and Eduarde while playing for a more defensive team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
