Scott Burns reporting Birmingham after Cosgrove.

£2m mentioned, but Brum also looking at Nisbett from Hibs.

...Cormack & Ron Gordon in a race to send an email saying yes.

What I thought as well.

Not getting a game for Raith lately though, which is a concern. Benched for the Hearts  double header.

None of the young lads appear to have shone in their loan spells?

Ross did score a belter for Raith at Alloa but he’s in/out the team?

Anderson flopped at Ayr.

Ruth has started one game for Arbroath. 

Not great.

Cant see hibs selling even with doidge.  Without nesbitt they would be in trouble.  Did the article say something about some funds to be redistributed back to the squad

If we sold Cosgrove? Just said that it will allow McHunnis to make a signing.

Big call for Colgate. Sell Cosgrove and don’t replace him, and it’s goodbye Europe and Scottish Cup, and hello to 5th place but a level of  financial comfort

Will he stick or twist?

Doncaster reserve striker or equivalent  in on loan.

On current form Cosgrove isn't making any difference anyhow.

Was about to say the same thing.  He's not offering anything at the moment - so we are better off with the cash.

[Tord31]

Even if we dont get any cash to spend he'll be allowed to spend the wages of some of ojo and cosgrove now that we have the transfer fee

a couple of loan players i would guess

The rest of the league is hopeless. We aren’t finishing worse than 4th even without any new signings and losing cosgrove.

You might revise that statement if we come off worst in the upcoming Livi double header (very possible given their current form which is way better than ours) and if we fail to win at ER next week. Remember we go to Parkhead twice in ten days at the end of February so there are two surefire losses straight away. 

[G31DON]

If he goes, to be left with Main,  Anderson and Ruth as the strikers at the team with the third highest budget is shockingly bad. Even allowing for covid

[Tord31]

We surely wont run with Main and Anderson.

I can't see us recalling Ruth this weekend

[The Gee Man]

Hopefully get a loan signing in to see us through till summer. No need to rush into buying a crock on a 3 year deal

Yay.... another Ryan Edmondson.

 

[Tord31]

is there actually anyone in Scotland worth a shout? No one sticks out as a good option on loan or for a small transfer fee?

 

[ThomohawkKid]

Id happily give McLennan a run of games CF

We cant go in to the final part of the season with only Main, Anderson, McGinn and McLennan (and Ruth). 

We need 1, but preferably 2, new strikers in

Or James Maddison!!

[sooth_stander]

Cozzie deal to be completed today according to the usual reliable sources, I''d have thought McGinn will replace him tomorrow, on that horrible pitch at West Lothian. Doubt anyone will be signed at this short notice, unless we are really on the ball.

[The Gee Man]

Surely a time a top Epl club can realise they have a potential talent that needs real games and see a club if they loan him to us and subsidise his wages as we can not afford it they will actually get game time. A lot of time they loan to championship clubs and they sit on the bench!! 
come on Del get onto ole, klopp, Tuchel etc we have the platform for them

[Durrant Dived]

Goodwillie on a 6 month loan cause Clyde won't be playing again..

[shooftahmooftah]

Joe Harper signing coming up nobody else wants to sign for the Dons that’s any use.  

[The Gee Man]

Anyone at Atlanta need game time before there season starts??

Their main man would be handy

[florin_raducioiu]

I know he's not fit until next month but surely a loan again for Watkins has been considered. Didn't hit the goal trail you'd maybe expect from a CF but did plenty of good and seemed to fit the system good. It's 100% better than nobody which is what we're staring at right now. Would assume there's similar loan options from England available though, depends on who is best taking a punt on.

[Tord31]

id hope we'd punt on two loan strikers to hedge our bets a bit

UEFA announced yesterday that Scotland will have 5 teams in Europe next season so 5th will probably qualify for Europe too as I'm guessing the Scottish Cup won't be restarting anytime soon.
