Sam Cosgrove

[aberdeen1970]

There's no way he's getting loaned out if he isn't sold in January, shite as he's been since he came back. 

I'd wager he's off as soon as the bells are past though. 

He's just making sure he doesn't get injured again before the window opens at the moment, hence the even less effort than usual.

Lol

Remake of Auf Weidersen Pet about the only chance he has of a job in Newcastle 

[starryfish]

His best run of form, I think, was when he had Stevie May alongside him working his socks off and creating space for Cosgrove. Unfortunately I don’t think we have such a player in the squad right now who could do the job that May done

We just can't afford to have a striker who relies wholly on service and expects others to do the work for him. 

You can't press high and dominate midfield with a passenger up front.

Football tactics evolve and the big lone unit up front is now an old fashioned look.

Correct.

If you are encouraging the team to press high, then the centre forward leads that.

Watkins did it very well. Wright & Hedges just in behind.

Its gone tits up since Watkins & Wright got injured. 
We’ve become slow & laboured like we were before the lockdown.

Why would any club loan out their top scorer from the last 2 campaigns? 
 

Because this season he has no enthusiasm and that ability has been lost. A change of scene might do him good.

[Yorston Vasey]

Are we not the team that sold their top scorer from the past 4~5 years to an English non league side? Players change, their value to the team changes, and right now Cosgrove can't be fucked.

Exactly the reason at the time I said it really didn't bother me much at all if May only scored 5 goals per season if he was working in tandem with Cosgrove to allow Cosgrove to score 20 plus per season. 

I still think we allowed May to leave too soon and too easily (fuck subsiding his his St J  wages). He was excellent today against Celtic, pressing their back line continuously,

I suggest we loan him out in January. He's obviously not interested in playing for Aberdeen.

One of those loan for free and pay £6.5m later if ya fancy. It would be worth the gamble

Crikey, haha!

We're fucked now. I have it on good authority that Steve Bruce is a regular reader of The Mag. The Hat has just provided him with the most comprehensive scouting report he could ever want. 

 

[G31DON]

Cosgrove is a £20 million pound player in the making. Needs a great manager like Bruce to realise his massive potential.

The first comment is mine, the one about “I’d question whether he’s Championship standard let alone EPL”

They've also added another of my comments but got it completely wrong. The comment about “a centre half converted to a centre forward and it shows  - that was my comment on Ryan Edmondson 

[PondHopper]

As of Dec 1 Ronaldo Damus is out of contract. With 21 goals and 7 assists in the usl this would be the best shoestring budget replacement I can think of. The Hiatian international is only 21. 

This would take the sting out of losing the only real hope for goal scoring at the forward. IF he is sold.

The last few matches have been depressing.

Agreed, need to start using our power plays in the line of scrimmage,either that or use our strong deefence for punt and runs or go flat out for a Hail Mary

Il help you out pond hopper 

so it’s the pitch not the field 

In the six (nope) play within the six yard box

on frame meaning on target

zero zero is not a score it’s nil nil here

a clean sheet is not called a shut out

Cleats isn’t the right term for football boots either

its a game of football not a match

heres a sentence constructed by an American sports journalist—ready

its still a shut out but barco bursts into the 18,hits a shot on frame,in the wheelhouse but it goes out of bounds,there must be something wrong with his cleats

what the fuck does that mean?

theres a reason Americans have there own sports and should stick with them ??

True. IDK what Atlanta United would do without all the support coming from across the pond. Maybe someday we'll finally catch up.

I am not joking when I say this lad needs to buck up his attitude and work rate. Its been mentioned before but the down turn in our results has a lot to do with Watkins disapearing and Cosgrove coming back. I really want Cosgrove to succeed but for me I would be happy to see him out this team and allow the guys that can play proper football without falling over and can work hard to take this team forward

I normally stick up for Cosgrove but since he came back i'v got to agree with you about his attitude and work rate.

Obviously Mcinnes has seen it as well pulling him off at H/T in the last 2 games.

Well if that doesn’t get him going, I’m not sure what will. Not sure I’d want McInnes doing it though.

quick check of the internet shows Liam Lindsay still isnt getting in the team down there. Take him on an 18 month loan

We’ve totally fucked this up then, need to start bigging up players that are shite if they are scouting via here.

[Andy_123]

We need to take anything we can get for him before he’s completely worthless again 

[Tord31]

Yep, I would accept any semi serious offer.

Not a bad shout. I'd just take him permanently and tell Stoke to knock £300k off Cosgrove's fee

Solves the left side of central defence (assuming Considine becomes cover from next season)
