We may well have tried to get Allan, Halkett and a whole other bunch of players but a lot of people prefer to live in the central belt. The money we offer is only marginally more then Hibs and Hearts as they are both similar sized clubs.

Yeh I thought, they were getting better in that regard but when you look at the Europa league line-up its pretty damning. Out of two English clubs they managed to start one English player!

I dont know, I'm hoping some Boffin will explain the implications?

With his goal scoring record it would perhaps be better if he has been bought in to play on the wing. I thought he was taller then 5'11 it must be because of his physicality.

Presumably main will play alongside cosgrove winning the ball and laying it off to him then? To be fair May doesnt offer us that option. I would have liked to see someone who could play up front on there own coming in.

Cant say im excited about this signing but i presume hes came in as an inexpensive back up. If thats the case he might not be a bad squad player.

Weve been linked with Alex Gorrin as a replacement for shinnie. Anyone know if hes any good?

Its gone awfully quiet the last few days.

I wouldnt say Hearts are having a go like. They have been pretty defensive. Its the worst ive seen Celtic play for years. I hope they do appoint Lennon but id be surprised if they do based on this performance.

I hope that the names that are mentioned so far are just squad fillers. I dont really see the point in Main when we have Stevie May. And Ash Taylor isnt a step up but is a half decent back-up. Mcinnes does sometimes pull something out of nowhere. Im hoping hes got a couple of decent signings lined up that we are not expecting.

Why do we need another striker that cant score?

Gauld was injured most of the time. Going by some hibs fans comments they were saying he needed to get back up to the pace and physicality of the game here. They did say he looked to have great vision and was technically very good.

Ten Caat, why is it that you think Cosgrove has such a low ceiling. He has all the physical attributes and even a bit of pace. I know his touch could be better at times but its an area he could easily get better at. I would say hes like a better version of Josh Magennis, and look how well hes done.

I see Liverpool are now being linked with Ryan Fraser. It looks like we could get a good wedge if a bidding war starts. Hopefully we reinvest a decent chunk of it.

Also argueable that he hasnt had the best service. I think getting some decent wide players will help us greatly.

Wheres the award ceremony to be held? Im currently working on my acceptance speech.

I dont get why everyone is soo keen to get rid of cosgrove. Ok, 7of his goals were penaltys but even still thats 13 goals this season. Think about how many forwards have we had over the last few seasons who have struggled to get more then 5. I dont know why everyone here seems to think its so easy to pick up someone who can score goals.

Will it be up to him though. Could be up to the club. Either way this is why we will struggle to compete with Rangers and Celtic. They will sign up all the talent in the league and bench them.

More to the point for us now. If derby do win that could likely make Max Lowe unlikely to feature for them. Might even get a chance to sign him.

I would think Rangers will give them a tougher game. I'm more worried about if we can do the business at Easter road.

Is cosgrove playing in midfield?

4-5-1 stewart and wilson on the wings and ferguson behind the forward maybe?

3-4 within a fortnight? Ill believe it when i see it.
