Sam Cosgrove

[Tommy]

Read this thread from start to finish. Amazing how it has worked out.

[Guest milne_afc]

Shite against the better teams.

[Fridge]

Think he was always what he has been although agreed the development. Eye for goal but doesn’t offer much else other than holding the ball up. However we’re paying him to score goals somebody else is getting paid to be tracking back and firing in last ditch challenges.

[DelMonte]

To be fair he looked horrendous when he first arrived, but given the level he'd been playing at that probably should have been no surprise.

 

It was hard to imagine he'd develop this much, but in a couple of seasons he's become arguably one of our most important players.

 

If he was playing for the cheeks he's be 'worth' a couple of million right now, no doubt about it.

Yup we'd all written him off but he'd just played well a number of games before that post. Idiotic

[shut up meg]

He was shite for us initially however he appears to be developing into a fantastic prospect.

We could be looking at a big pay day soon if he keeps on going like this, an English player that scores goals will surely attract some guffy team soon. 

[WesthillWanderersFC]

There are two questions.

 

1) if you were chairman would you sell him if we got an offer of £1.5-£2m?

 

2) would Stewart Milne, bearing in mind we’ll have the supposed move to us becoming Westhill Wanderers to pay for?

 

Who the hell would score our goals if we did sell him?

His replacement.

[Shinniesta]

From December last season to this October Cosgrove has scored 34 goals for us.

 

At the beginning of last season if anyone had said he'd score that many goals in 10 months for us they'd have been taken away by the men in white coats. A remarkable transformation.

 

I can't even think who the last Aberdeen player was who scored 34 or more goals for us in less than a full season? It doesn't happen very often.

[The Boofon]

Bobo and I called it after Burnley 1st leg

Why would they be taken away by some butchers?

[JakieBastard]

His goal yesterday will have clubs from down south taking even closer notice of him. That showed he isn't just about penalties and headers.

 

The movement, pace and composure he showed were all top drawer.

 

His transformation in the past 12 months has been unbelieavable

The Sky Sports exposure will have done his profile no harm.

Couple that with FM and Wyscout and even more scouts will be up for a look.

[V for Vendetta]

Quite a successful project really.

 

But... I suppose the final success would be selling the lad for good money.

 

Which is a shame, he's really growing on me.

[Ten Caat]

Would be interesting to know what his current valuation would be. If he were doing it in EFL1 I don't think it would be unrealistic for his club to ask for offers over £10million.

 

But he's doing it in Scotland. At a higher level. So likely half that

Realistically we'd get less than a million. 

[Dynamo]

Well he's a lot better than Jayden Stockley, who went from Exeter to Preston for like £700k. You're looking at ovr £1m for Cosgove, surely.

At least.

 

£2m would be an acceptable amount and I’d expect him to go in January. Fine as long as we have someone lined up to replace him.

Time for Curtis Main to step up...

[RUL]

@@RUL tell him the story son

 

Here Shinnie - it's no often I am bang on the money, but I never had a doubt in my noggin about Samuel.

 

'when do you ever, you naive old cunt? die immediately' I'd assume would be the reply from some; but I placed currency on this pledge - that tells me that I saw more than just a reason to spout the usual fan fare (list taking etc).

 

All Im saying, is to for one second take a moment, and really ask yourself, 'is dad receiving information from a higher place?'

 

Maybe. Pocrawred made that very insinuation there about backing the Dons; but it was different this one... I went to great lengths to crow on about victory (the ferocious onslaught spilled onto twitter such was the confidence).

 

All I'm saying is at the very least consider buying a tshirt. These sorts of times demand some sort of commemorative marking.

 

Only taking requests atm - previous store was closed down owing to various whathaveyou.

 

But if I can go in with a plan - a solid set of figures - I can really sit down with the big hitters of tshirt creation and hash out a price that's fair for us all (completely profit free - you're just purchasing an item that several other cunts are).

 

Mon the fucking Cosgrove.

 

Hah the transformation has been incredible. I cannot remember the story but I know you praised Cosgrove and I...didn't.

[RUL]

Have to say Saturday was the finest front man performance I have seen in a while from an Aberdeen player. He was outstanding, not just the goal, but link up play, everything.

Fair play to you Dad if you always backed Cosgrove 34 goals in 10 months is some transformation. When I first watched him it was obvious that he was strong, could hold the ball up and link the play well he just looked like he couldn't score in a brothel with £100 tied to his cock. He has now clearly put that part of his game right and has a scoring ratio in the last 10 months that Adam Rooney never came close to. He always looks full of confidence.

 

We should be looking for a minimum £2m for this guy. He completely outshone the guy that was supposed to score the goals for us (Stevie May). He's young and improving all the time and has the attributes to be a success in The English Championship.

[RUL]

Where was it we got him from again? Carlisle ? Wonder what they make of his transformation. Not sure we will get £2M but Stockley went from Exeter to Preston for £750,000 after a great League 2 season.

[Sonoftherock]

At least.

£2m would be an acceptable amount and I’d expect him to go in January. Fine as long as we have someone lined up to replace him.

£2M sounds about right... Or £1.5M if they agree to take over Curtis Mains contract as part of the deal.

[herouali]

Yeah - for c. £40k with no sell-on clause, he was going to join us in the summer anyway.

 

His turnaround has been remarkable - credit to Russ Richardson et al for finding him and to the coaching staff.

 

Adam Rooney couldn't have finished like that on Saturday. If it was Messi, folk would never shut up about it.

 

Hope he keeps it up - we'll be looking at £3m for him.

[Studebaker-90]

Some disrespectful English cunts will come in with a derisory £300k offer in January like Hull City did with McKenna.

[Shinniesta]

Probably. He's on a long contract though so we should be looking at £2m plus a 20% sell on fee.

[Parklife]

I'd be surprised if he left in January. From interviews he's done, it seems Cosgrove is acutely aware of his relative inexperience and will be keen to keep playing every week, learning the game and progressing. I don't think he'll be overly keen to move until the summer.

Carlisle reserves probably more accurately.

 

They hadn't even had him that long but obviously didn't see the potential.

 

I'm genuinely quite impressed that someone at our club did and it came good.

[slippers]

How can people think that 1-2m is acceptable for arguably our most important player? I will admit I can't believe how well he's developed but his goal ratio in calendar year is incredible in fairness. Anything under 5m for a young goal scoring striker in this day and age would be a disgrace! 1-2m is the kind of money you would expect Motherwell to get for him if he played for them. Likewise if he was playing for Celtic they would be wanting 10m plus! I think somewhere in the middle of the 2 would be about right! We really could be doing with squeezing a multi million pound sale off in the next couple of windows to raise the profile of club and Scotland. Sick of clubs in Scotland selling there best talent for 500k-1m when clubs in league 1 down the road are getting multiple millions for there best players!

[herouali]

He's going nowhere yet - loves the club.

 

Will probably end up back at Wigan Athletic with Josh Windass and Joe Garner...
