For a cut price deal, which basically means they are both for sale at a price!

Thing with Scotland is diouf could go there and get 15 goals a season quite easily. Interested to have some strikers names that gave come down from scotland and made a name for themselves here? That Anthony stokes was prolific up there, as was gary Hooper. Is cosgrove big, strong and fast? If he is none of the above then how is he better than we have? He's definitely big and strong Sam vokes is too though, we need more than that imo. Keep saying it but ngoy, why isn't he given a go?

Lou Macari and Steve Archibald too, but I guess in recent times, too often they have flattered to deceive as the quality of the respective leagues has grown further apart. The only recent one I can think of is Steven fletcher and even that was 10 years ago at least

Duncan Ferguson. The recent list of striker success from the great football nation of scotland that has made the transition hardly fills you with confidence does it 😁 they have got to have the x factor for me, do they have something in attributes that sets them apart from your average champ striker? If no, why are they better than the average champ striker

Thing is though the interest in cosgrove was first mentioned literally days after o Neills appointment which is quite odd seeing as we had a boat load of strikers allready in the door to assess. So either mon really does want him or he is a 'club target'?

If no, why are they better than the average champ striker Kenny Miller did well during his spell at Wolves. Goal in 4 games ratio at Cardiff a few years later not too bad either. Scraping the barrel I know but still plying his trade as a 40yr old north of the border! We need to unearth another John McGinn type of player..

Keen to see him Think he's better wide-ish than down the middle. People said that about Arnie too before west ham used him as a CF. The funny thing about that is that stan collymore was saying for ages before Moyes used him there that Arnie would make a good CF. Talking of collymore, what a player he would be in a lone role for us. That's the type we need a collymore or a Ashton if we are going big imo, a mobile player

Indeed. There's no way we'd be paying anywhere near 7m for a striker from Aberdeen.

I thought we were hamstrung by FFP? Exactly, that's one of the reasons we won't be paying 7m for some striker from Aberdeen who failed at both Wigan and Carlisle.

So we won't be buying a striker then?😃

He's definitely big and strong Sam vokes is too though, we need more than that imo. Keep saying it but ngoy, why isn't he given a go? I’m sure he will get his chance. He’s not long been reintroduced into the squad, so he probably hasn’t been training with the team for too long either. I imagine he’ll come on when we are 2 to the good one game, and we have some freedom to look at him. That possibility doesn’t seem to odd anymore given recent returns in form. As for the point re what do Scottish strikers offer, I’d suggest it’s all to do with confidence. Look what an in form striker in Beattie did for us for half a season. If someone can come here in great form and continue that form, we could have a very good end of the season. After that I suppose we have paid less than average cost and wage for a young player who may turn out to perform like an average striker for this division, or may just continue to progress.

Quite a few who are decent strikers, that's the price, Jack Marriot, Dwight Gayle, George Boyd, Russell Martin, Britt Assombalonga, Conor Washington, Lee Tomlin, Craig Mackail-Smith to name a few, and Peterboroughs Ivan Toney is being touted towards £10 million wtf, Peterborough just churning out bang average players! They seem to have had a bit of a production line, a bit like Crewe 20 years ago

Exactly. So you have to make sure the price is right. He’s playing at a league one or two standard. 3m is way too much. How many league one players sell for a million even? Quite a few who are decent strikers, that's the price, Jack Marriot, Dwight Gayle, George Boyd, Russell Martin, Britt Assombalonga, Conor Washington, Lee Tomlin, Craig Mackail-Smith to name a few, and Peterboroughs Ivan Toney is being touted towards £10 million Gayle was from the Championship. The only one there that I actually like is Assombalonga. The rest are very wishy washy.

Put any Chester money towards this lad. He's clearly got something about him. He's absolutely goal mental.
