Byrne Baby Byrne Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 3 minutes ago, Big Hat Logan said: Jamie Vardy played for Halifax and Fleetwood before Leicester and is one of the most prolific strikers in England. Andy Robertson played for Queen’s Park and Dundee United and has now won the champions league. Not that I’m comparing Dykes to either of them, just highlighting the nonsensical logic of your post. Dykes is 25. Vardy was on the brink of his move to Leicester at that age and Robertson already had a champions league medal in his pocket. Good comeback. 3 minutes ago, Big Hat Logan said: Getting defensive now because you’ve been shown up for talking pish. Sore one. You certainly haven’t succeeded in doing that ? Link to comment

I already told you I wasn’t comparing them to Cosgrove or dykes, I was making the point that footballers can peak later in their careers and even the best have shit clubs on their CV. I see it’s gone completely over your head though, unsurprisingly. Still, keep claiming that useless cunt Cosgrove is as good as Dykes. It’s not making you look daft at all. Link to comment
thurso Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I think the big big Sam gets slagged of a bit harshly on here and he’s very comparable to dykes. I will admit Iv never seen dykes play for QPR and only Livi and Scotland but there was a clamour for him to be in the Scotland squad after one good game against Celtic when they were the best team in the league. The big difference between ye two is dykes runs about more closing down defenders and he had some excellent games for Scotland Link to comment
NEM Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Cosgrove outscored Dykes by almost double last season did he not? Don't think it's a stretch to say they are a similar level. Cosgrove clearly off form and unmotivated at the minute though - probably clouding folks opinions of him Link to comment

To the extent I need to give up ever watching football and watch surfing instead. How much of him are you watching? Sorry football genius. Forgot everyone had to have the same opinion as you. I personally think they are at a similar level. One is in poor form and the other is a darling cause he scored against a bunch of Czech lads that were picked off the streets of Prague. You would think if Dykes was a far better player he would be playing at a higher level, being a year older as well? Completely agree with you. Cosgrove scored a hell of a lot more goals than him at the same level. As you say Dykes has hardly been someone providing a lot of goals and assists for QPR. A few hard working performances and a goal against a Czech reserve team for Scotland doesn't put him miles ahead of Cosgrove for me either. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I'm in the Dykes is a better footballer than Cosgrove camp. General skills, link up play and work rate far superior. A real team player. Though I accept Cosgrove scored more goals during 2019/20. Comparing scoring records on its own is too simplistic as we can't tell how many Dykes would have scored in our team or how many Cosgrove would get for QPR. Link to comment

I think their general skill and link up play is on par with each other, dykes works harder cosgrove is a better goal scorer. So I suppose it comes down to do you want a goal scorer or do you want a hard working striker. 1 Link to comment

You've got folk on here claiming Main is better than Cosgrove these days... ?Cosgrove is off form, no doubt about that. He's shown he's a good striker in the past though & im confident he'll get back to that level. Link to comment

But we also disagree on John McGinn. We just like different players and that's fair enough. Link to comment

No I get that - and its fair enough. But how late in his career is the light years ahead far far far superior tartan army idol of yours gonna peak? Or is this him peaking now? Playing with Dom Ball for the R's?? I think they are both good strikers. Dykes would win in a fight though. Link to comment
