He’s no better than Gregory and no where near as good as Fletcher. Gregory gets a bit of stick, but I think there's mixed opinions on him, and he is playing at a decent standard of football in the Championship. This guy, Cosgrove, looks to be struggling to really shine, playing against the Ross Countys and St Mirrens of the world. Almost guaranteed we'll sign him 👀

Leave all the Scottish strikers in Scotland they are up there for a reason.that been they are not good enough for the championnship. Cosgrove, of course, is not a Scottish Striker. Grew up in Cheshire and went to school in Knutsford. A reason why he might be eager to join us - always assuming that we do want him.

I know we need a striker, but are we really this desperate? A player that is panned pretty badly by his own fans, whilst playing mostly against League One (Two?) standard teams most weeks? Why bother? Like fuller at Southampton you mean? Or Sheron, or Stein..... We're talking potentially splashing around £1m on a guy that just isn't very good. Money we don't really have to waste. Will he be smashing the door down to displace Fletcher, Gregory, Brown or Powell as our forward options. Not to mention Campbell? I just don't see it.

Gregory’s finishing is poor, but he leads the line better than Vokes or Brown.

With Fletcher fit again and Gregory not too far away I wouldn't gamble on any lower league or Scotish striker now. Save the money for next season unleass we can bring in a quality striker, which means we will have to loan someone. That would also be better for next season as we don't have to offload another body who isn't good enough for a promotion fighting or promoted team. What about Jacob Brown?👀 🤣

We haven't got a pot to piss in at the moment, so unlikely we will be splashing any cash.

We haven't got a pot to piss in at the moment, so unlikely we will be splashing any cash. We obviously still have some FFP constraints but far less than we did when MON took over. I think the fact that MON has spent the square root of bugger all on transfer fees, plus the fact that much of the dead weight has gone on loan and long contracts now have much less long to run means that there is more wriggle room than there was. It would not surprise me if a bit of room exists to bring in a striker this month. Given the fact that Fletcher and Gregory have proved to be injury prone it is a risk not to bring in another striker if we can possibly do so.

If Cosgrove signs, he could be our most significant acquisition from Scotland since Dave Rowson!

Oh and Cosgrove’s shit. The Oatcake cognoscenti who have watched his every game have decreed it, so shut up.

we have oodles of moony, we just can't spend it re FFP
that's why any signing will have to be a loan or someone mega cheap & on low wages like this deal would be £1m or under as appears to be the suggestion is peanuts however spend peanuts & you usually get...
I'd prefer a young player with quality on loan if none is available & we can't get quality in then perhaps we shouldn't sign anyone this window
all depends if he's any good or not I don't see the comparison made with Gregory as he's nothing like that, more of a battering ram type, comparison with Vokes makes more sense is he better than Vokes? If he isn't we shouldn't sign him
There did appear to be a fair amount of interest in Cosgrove last season when he was scoring at a healthy rate. SPL is difficult to judge standard With hindsight signing Fuller from Hearts would have been a great move but we would all have moaned on the basis Scottish football is rubbish

Grew up in Cheshire and went to school in Knutsford. A reason why he might be eager to join us - always assuming that we do want him. dont care where he was born mate he plays in scotland so he is not up 2 much,if he was decent he would be gone now,we dont need another duff striker on our hands.

I couldn't agree more, mate! I never understood what Southampton and Liverpool were doing when they signed that liability of a defender Virgil van Dijk!
