No, you asked the question 'who is making the signing'? Immediately after talking about being linked with a number of players. I just wondered who you thought we'd signed?

Nothing against the guy or Aberdeen standard but from looking at the Youtube clips he really doesnt look up to much. Very static target man. It will be like having another Crouch up front but with less finishing ability. It forces you to play one way. If he is only a back-up option I could understand it, but we have SO MANY back-up options as people have mentioned that we need to clear off our books. Totally disagree. Ryan Fraser of Bournemouth came from Aberdeen, Maddison of Leicester be a me a very good player after spell at Aberdeen. Cosgro eis a Premiership player. Scored 16 goals already this season. I personally would think Celtic and Rangers would give us 5 at this moment. They are burning up Europe. Rangers are looking for £30million for Morelos so Cosgro e should be same price. £10million for Cosgro e is a bargain. Aberdeen usually put 20% sellon clause to any good players. Personally a bigger club will be in for him. Also was top scorer for European first rounds. He hardly scored first 29 games and in last year he has scored tons. Sign him up quick if we can afford him

Vokes Gregory Campbell Hogan Diouf You'd imagine one or two would have to leave. Gregory, Cosgrove and Campbell would be a nice trio of options. Hogan can go back to Villa, Diouf can do something and Vokes would be hard to shift in a very literal sense. Not too fussed either way about Campbell. He needs a loan to get more PT and get some goals.

hope our scouting team start to have a real good look at these players before we take them. because we have loads of dead wood in our squad who clearly are not up to the job. and are just bleeding the club dry.

You know people sooner or later we are going to have a Manager who knows better than you what is required for our team. Stop second guessing the man before he has barely got his feet under the table. Judge him on his actual signings not on rumour of who they may be.

Interesting one this. We have an Aberdeen season ticket holder who works for our business. I asked him about Mcinnes as a manager and McKenna when we were rumoured with both and he wasn't particularly glowing about either. McKenna in particular he didn't rate at all and he is gutted that they've seemingly missed the boat on getting decent money on.
I asked him about Cosgrove and he likes him. He said he is scoring against all teams in Scotland, not just the weaker ones and that he is a really skillful, yet physical striker. He really likes him. Bear in mind that Adam Rooney did exceptionally well for Aberdeen and was really well liked, my colleague unsurprisingly said that Cosgrove is a far superior player to Rooney and that really there is no comparison between the two other than that both scored goals for Aberdeen.
He said Cosgrove is pretty much their only decent player and the only one, realistically, capable of playing at a much higher level.

Should be ours if we want him. Aberdeen couldn't compete with Salford for Adam Rooney.

He said Cosgrove is pretty much their only decent player and the only one, realistically, capable of playing at a much higher level. Well that's it sign him up because a season ticket holder of Aberdeen knows everything about Aberdeen and he is from your work. I believe Mon knows exactly the strength of all the Aberdeen players including the winger Niall McGinn of Aberdeen who he has watched on numerous occasions and who has been to major tournaments with his boss of NI. Mon lives in Edinburgh and has been to Pittodrie many times. He may agree with your about McKenna but Stoke did try and get him for £5-7Million. Steve Clarke and Alex McLeish the previous Scotland manager who was a legendary centre half made McKenna captain of his Country at 21.I agree with them and Derek Mcinnes who by the way is the best manager Aberdeen have had since Sir Alex. Mckenna is not the finish article but the Liverpools Centre half and. Left back were playing in Scotland not long ago. Would not get mu h change of £150Million for these 2.I have said before that Derek McInnes would have been a better manager choice for Stoke. I will stick by that. Just look at his win ratio. The other player from Aberdeen who will go right to the top is Ferguson the midfielder first team player at 18. Stoke would do well getting himand I believe MON will know that. Personally Stoke missed out on Shinnie who Derbys Frank Lampard took from Aberdeen last season. Frank knows a Midfield player. Also McLean who went to Norwich from Aberdeen 2 seasons ago. I am a Stoke supporter from Scotland and am fed up with you guys underestimating Scottish players. A manager who buys a Player for £25K and turns him into a £5Million top striker in 2 seasons would do well at Stoke. MON has never do e that and that's why he worries me. We may end up mid table but thereafter I can't see promotion the following season. Germany gave MON a leason last night and I think we may see that here at Stoke a few times. MON is one dimensional IMO and his historical management credentials are far less attractive e than some we could have had. Cut out the Scottish nonsense it doesn't wash and a country with one tenth of England population does rater well considering the gulf in TV money. Better option for Stoke board would have been to buy Aberdeen FC it would only cost them about £50Million and somewhere to put the surplus players and get some real coaching from a real manager.

To tell the truth, your piece has some very good points, just a pity most will not read because you didin't bother to break it up into digestable chunks for us knuckle draggers. Probably the best manager ever seen in England came from Scotland. Judging a player based on where he comes from is as stupid as judging a person by the color of their skin. Ronaldo comes from Portugal at a time when portugal were not much footballing wise. Eusebio came from Mozambique, how many good players have they ever produced?

Cosgrove seems to score most of his goals from the penalty spot. He is not what we need at the minute. Not impressed when I’ve seen him.

Adam Rooney had a similar record over a longer period at Aberdeen but he wasn't good enough for the championship Did he ever get a proper run out in the championship? he certainly knew where the back of the net was

x1jlf: I believe Mon knows exactly the strength of all the Aberdeen players including the winger Niall McGinn of Aberdeen who he has watched on numerous occasions and who has been to major tournaments with his boss of NI. Mon lives in Edinburgh and has been to Pittodrie many times. Markby: Indeed. And on the basis of his Irish surname, Michael enquired to see whether he qualified for NI. (Though probably says more about his existing options lol) x1jlf: A manager who buys a Player for £25K and turns him into a £5Million top striker in 2 seasons would do well at Stoke. MON has never done that and that's why he worries me. Markby: Michael didn't have £25k top spend at either Cowdenbeath, Brechin or Shamrock Rovers. But he took that last team of (then) part-timers into the group stage of the Europa League - a first for League of Ireland football. x1jlf: Germany gave MON a leason last night and I think we may see that here at Stoke a few times. MON is one dimensional IMO and his historical management credentials are far less attractive e than some we could have had. Markby: I was at that game (I assume you weren't). I was also there four days previously NI gained a home draw with a resurgent Holland, and would likely have won had Davis not missed a 1st half penalty, when we (NI) were all over them. The difference was that with the second game being now a dead rubber, our motivation obviosly suffered. More to the point, between the two games, we lost our EPL Left Back, Lewis of Norwich, and had to replace him with Ferguson, a LWB currently warming the bench at Millwall. We also lost our best CB, Evans from Leicester, and had to replace him with Tom Flanagan of Sunderland. In addition, we also lost Dallas, an absolute standout at RB for Bielsa's Leeds this season and replace him with Smith of Hearts, a 31 y.o. winning his 8th(?) cap. Which was only the defence! Many of the players who played in midfield/attack vs Holland are not regulars with their clubs, none of which is in the EPL btw. Meaning two games in 4 days against outstanding opposition was too much to cope with. As for MO'N being "one dimensional", I don't know where to start on that, and probably won't live long enough to complete my reply if I did!x1jlf: Better option for Stoke board would have been to buy Aberdeen FC it would only cost them about £50Million and somewhere to put the surplus players and get some real coaching from a real manager. Markby: Every NI player he's ever worked with, from EPL to to League Two praises his coaching and management. E.G. here is what Jonny Evans said after we won away to Czech Republic, shortly after the Czechs beat (ahem) England: "Michael has got us playing in a great shape with flexibility in our system," link (Sorry for the messy post - haven't figured out the multi-quote option on this site yet )
