boboisared Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 He was out of his depth at SPL levelCertainly so as a lone striker but I think he'd have done well with someone to play off of him. Link to comment

Cozzy is a lot better when he has a partner... went on his best goal scoring run when partnered with May, earlier in the season. May did all the running and Cozzy took the glory! Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Karma. Got screwed over at the beginning, but end up lessons learned and hopefully 4 million in the bank, which is miles more than we'd have got at the time if he was on a 2 year deal.It is miles more than we would have gotten yes but would imagine that had we had him on a two year deal & sold him for a little. We would still have inserted a sell on clause as well Link to comment
Tord31 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 if Big Sammie is sold on for £££ this summer it'll go down as an insane bit of business by McInnes and Richardson Link to comment
Jackp Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Seen a few Carlisle fans on twitter saying they’ve got a sell on clause and could be as big as 45% Link to comment
StevieT1986 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 We signed him on a pre contract then offered £20k to get him in early. Surely you canna have a sell on clause with a pre contract Link to comment
Yorston Vasey Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Seen a few Carlisle fans on twitter saying they’ve got a sell on clause and could be as big as 45%Not a chance they would have done that with a hapless young reserve player they were satisfied to punt for less than £20k. Just wishful thinking on their part. Link to comment
Red_Rocket_1983 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Seen a few Carlisle fans on twitter saying they’ve got a sell on clause and could be as big as 45% I'd doubt that the normal fans would know how high a sell on clause is, even if one did exist. We signed him on a pre contract then offered £20k to get him in early. Surely you canna have a sell on clause with a pre contract Agreed Link to comment

Surely you canna have a sell on clause with a pre contractCourse you can. We've got one with Bournemouth for Fraser. Bournemouth took him early and negotiated something other than compensation. We may have done the same to get Sam early. Link to comment
Yorston Vasey Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Course you can. We've got one with Bournemouth for Fraser. Bournemouth took him early and negotiated something other than compensation. We may have done the same to get Sam early.I just don't see it. According to their CEO quotes here, they wanted him out once the pre-contract was agreed as he was no longer committed. We could have waited a bit and paid pennies, I don't see us chucking sell on clauses around through these negotiations. https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/sport/football/carlisle-united/16745077.carlisle-utd-striker-sam-cosgrove-leaves-for-aberdeen-in-40000-deal/ Link to comment

We can't have it both ways. But yeah I'd be surprised if there's one in the Cosgrove deal. Link to comment

euan2020 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Seen a few Carlisle fans on twitter saying they’ve got a sell on clause and could be as big as 45% sounds very unlikely - his contract was due to expire in 5 months, so unlikely we would give them fee + sell on (development fee was due to be very little due to him only being there 7 months ) Link to comment
TheRock Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The BBC gossip page says that Lazio are looking at Cosgrove. Was a Daily Record link so didn't click on it but seems unlikely. Someone more paranoid than me might suggest a false link like this might have been made to unsettle the biggest goal threat from outside last season's top two. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 "A source in Italy" says that they are in the market for a big striker and that they are looking at Cosgrove. Sounds legit..... However £3million and he's all theirs. And when Lazio find out he's as popular in Rome as Haggis Bolognese, he can return on a free after 6 months to a hero's welcome. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I think he'll do well for a team that plays football to feet. He's definitely much better with the ball at his feet than having it fired at him, neck height, from 20 yards and expected to control it, bring it down and make a pass. Link to comment

For Fecks Sake Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Had to check the date to confirm that it's nae 1st April. For anything like £3m I would drive him there myself stopping off for a few pints with the legend that is Bluto to celebrate the transfer! Link to comment

Ke1t Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Cosgrove is a brilliant striker, two footed, genius vision, and his hold up play is second to none. His heading is deadly, his curled and chipped shots are only a small part of his armoury, and his anticipation for being in the right place at the right time is Ruud Gullit-esque. I'd be devastated if we lost Cosgrove to Lazio, but a couple of million quid would be hard to refuse. Call it 2.5 million. Call it 3. Link to comment
