However, as I said, if we can get him fit and interested, then the upside is potentially massive. However, it could also backfire spectacularly though and we could end-up with an overweight, lazy striker, who only plays 1 good game in every 10.... that player would be crucified by our support.

aberdeen1970 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 We swapped him with Bruce Anderson who everyone said should be 4th choice, and still got a few pennies. Pretty small gamble. Link to comment

I am sure @Ten Caat will confirm for us, but I doubt he is on a big wage 'massive' was possibly getting carried away - I'll give you that. The JET is still a gamble though, for the reasons described above. If he's as inconsistent as we're led to believe, he will get savaged by our supporters - particularly if he throws in the towel. @Ten Caat What is JET getting in terms of wages? Link to comment
Parklife Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Pretty unenthused by this. A journeyman striker who's done very little of note his entire career. Hopefully I'm wrong and he's a success but I suspect we'll be looking to get him off the wage bill in 12 months time. Link to comment

Quite a few guests, including Si Ferry, who've played with or against him in England. Suggestion he has had big problems with his weight and motivation/attitude... but everyone remarks on his undoubted talent. If we can get him fit, lean and interested, he'll do well for us... Lazy and uninterested. Whodve thunk it!!! Link to comment

If we can keep him interested and motivated (which not many clubs have been able to do the last decade so probably unlikely) then we'll have a really good player on our hands. If he reverts to lazy uninterested waster mode he'll be worse than a man short. Heres a good overview of his career to date, complete waster. We can only hope the penny has finally dropped and he wants to have a successful end to his career......... https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/jay-emmanuel-thomas-bristol-city-1381408 Link to comment

It's got a decent first 6 months then get injured / fat / uninterested / unable to get back into the team / unable to make the bench / unable to make the squad / released all over it, going by past exploits anyway. Hope no, hope it all jut clicks for him here but his history suggests otherwise. Link to comment

Quote Although he undoubtedly has the talent, his laid-back style of play doesn’t show the character that most managers desire, and it doesn’t advertise him well If he's sauntering around the pitch, without a care in the world, he is quickly going to become a target for the Pittodrie boo-boys!

elephantstone78 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Unfortunately if you get to 30 being a lazy cunt there’s no way you are changing now. talented but lazy is not something that quite rightly goes down well with fans. My prediction is this will be a disaster and he will score somewhere between Maynard and zola. he will last a season then be back at livvy Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Cosgrove managed 20+ goals a season whilst being a lazy cunt, and this guy looks like he's got more to him, so you never know. He would need to play alongside someone like Watkins, who will do all the running and linking up work. Link to comment
