www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6600982/birmingham-agree-transfer-fee-aberdeen-cosgrove/The Championship side have agreed a fee with the Dons for the 24-year-old former Carlisle targetman.
Sheffield Wednesday had expressed an interest earlier this week but were priced out of a move - but Brum boss Aitor Karanka has met Aberdeen’s asking price.
Cosgrove could complete his move to St Andrews as early as Friday - and leave boss Derek McInnes scrambling for a new striker. Weren’t Brum signing Kevin Nisbett from Hibs for £2m last night? |

not a lot of strikers who are decent are out there,so i would try to loan Delap or if we cannot get him i would go with what we have, Got to think there'd be 20 teams who'd take Delap if he was available - but Man City don't seem to like loaning their youngsters and prefer them to train with their senior squad. According to this, they aren't even prepared to loan Doyle and Harwood-Bellis this month due to Coronavirus. theathletic.co.uk/2351425/2021/01/29/why-citys-best-young-players-are-unlikely-to-go-on-loan-in-january/Manchester City generally don’t send their most promising players out on loan and that is likely to remain the case this month, despite a shift in circumstances for some of the top prospects and several offers from Football League clubs. City tend to keep their very best young players aged between 17 and 20 with them, where they can play in the Premier League 2, an under-23 league, and train regularly with Guardiola’s first team, but that is not a set policy. The thinking at the moment, though, is that City need the extra bodies around the squad in these uncertain times, especially as they have suffered two COVID-19 outbreaks already this season, most notably over Christmas. |

If we really wanted him and have lost out to Birmingham, then financially we are in a worse place than we thought ☹️ I don't see what is so hard to understand here. The manager has clearly stated it's a one or more out, one in scenario. The rumours are we had to get rid of Verlinden so we could clear the way to spend 650k on Doughty. If that's true then we very much are in a bad place - all of our own making of course. You say financially in a worse place than Birmingham, yet fail to mention they've taken in over 20M in fees this season - the majority of that from the sale of Bellingham. Maybe if we sold Nathan Collins for a similar amount we would have that wiggle room? However, people don't want us to sell Collins do they? In other words, welcome to the future. We need to generate our own money going forwards and quite frankly, this is now not a situation where owners with a history of mistakes can buy their way out of with money. We're at a log jam. |

A history of mistakes? Hughes wasn't a mistake for 3 seasons running a top 10 finish then they backed him in the transfer market and messed up Lambert was a mistake in my opinion, Rowett at the time was a good signing the board backed him and he messed up, mad Nath was a gamble but it could of gone one of two ways and he went mad. All this board have done is backed managers which when they brought them in they have to do, the managers spunked millions on dead wood and the club have to pick up the pieces! |

Hes a decent striker. Remember watching some Raith Rovers games when he was there and he looked a proper handful for defenders. Looking at his record hes got a decent strike rate at his last 3 clubs (Raith, Dunfermline and Hibs) If prefer him over cosgrove. |

The ironic thing with our current situation is that some sections of the fanbase are crying that our owners are witholding the money. I have seen accusations of a lack of ambition which is ludicrous. You can absolutely acuse them of mismanagement but since we have come down there has not been a lack of ambition financially. We have the money but we cannot spend it because of FFP restrictions. |

According to Wikipedia Cosgrove is already a Blues player, should say that's a fan getting a tad ahead of himself updating that! Although the local Birmingham press are convinced they've beaten Sheff Weds to his signature & he should complete the move later today!

We can’t really afford transfer fees can we? (in terms of FFP).
I’m sure the player would come if we could.
Brum isn’t exactly an attractive proposition at the moment.

Who knows if this will come back to bite us, but I’m just getting the feeling I won’t be too bothered. I’m fed up with big lump target men who we don’t even play to the strengths of. So whether it’s Vokes, Cosgrove or similar which MON is interested in, there’s not really much point in how we play.

We clearly haven't got £2m to spend atm. I don't think the manager can complain too much though. He spent 2M in the summer on Jacob Brown, who at the time was coming in as back up to Tyrese Campbell. Cosgrove is going for roughly the same. |

Think that’s how it works

You've got Aberdeen fans on Twitter calling him shite and he's scored 1 goal in 28 English football appearances at Wigan, Barrow, Chorley, North Ferriby and Carlisle. Think it's best we missed out on this one if we were ever in for him.
