If we are to bring in a third forward, it needs to be a big target man type to give us something different if things aren't working with Duk & Miovski

Disagree, we've got to remember Barron looked very good in a terrible side, he's done fuck all since, all the while carrying off like he's a superstar.

You clearly know more about the inner workings at pittodrie than me but I’ll disagree with you here. Barron has been injured most of the season and when he has played I haven’t seen him not try like some, there is a very good player there and Iv not seen him act like a superstar either especially when I spoke to him, took time to chat even tho he was clearly in a rush and had nothing but good things to say about the club

Doubt he cares two fucks what anyone thinks.

The contract he signed with Birmingham has made him comfortable for life, he won't be giving a shit that they've sent him out on loan 3 times and now only has a year left on that contract.

FWIW, I'd rather take Cosgrove on loan in summer for the full season than spend a single penny on Van Veen

If I was taking home the wages he was I wouldn’t give a fuck what anybody thought of me. 
 

I’d much rather have neither, there must be a young European who fits the bill for third option striker

I’d have no problem with Bavidge as third choice, he’s not the target man some want tho

[1903Fitba]

Cosgrove and Duk

Crouch and Defoe 

 

World class

Haha "clearly in a rush"

Cosgrove is on loan at my local team Plymouth and has done well but we can't afford him either.  He's apparently on 18k a week and we're only paying a small amount of that currently.

He’s also been on the bench a fair bit has he not?

To get away from sycophants getting in his way I suspect is where he’s coming from.

Yeah he has but has made a huge impact coming on.  Done well for us so cannot complain

Yeah it will do and of course the TV revenues in the championship are huge compared to league 1.  We will be one of the favourites for the drop next year although i think we'll stay up just

Did Lauritsen not fit this mould? By all accounts he has done well in the Eredevisie.

There are more strikers our there than Kevin van Veen and Sam Cosgrove. I'd much rather we gave this recruitment model a good go and see what happens.

Lauritsen has done fantastically so thats another feather in the cap for our recruitment team

Why were you pestering him wanting to know what he thinks about AFC when he is trying to go about his business?

I’d say he was more in a rush to get back on redtv

Whilst you might not want to/be able to pay 18k a week you should still be able to pay a bit more than you currently are - from that list the wages are quite low and not any of your own players on 5 figures a week. The championship is a bastard of a league to predict, I wish you all the best.

[Gilwern]

I think Clarkson is class at this level. His technical skills are a significant step up on the average SPL player. Another Maddison? Not sure. 

Regardless, hopefully Clarkson is demonstrating the value of doing the hard yards in a competitive league over warming a EPL bench. It'll be interesting to watch his career.

Huns fans think they should be aiming higher than Clarkson. That lot are fucking deluded.

Looked decent any time he has played against us but i was hoping we would aim higher if true

No, no, and thrice no.

A level or two below where we should be aiming.

We really should be aiming higher.

 

Muppets.

Lol. The funniest bit being the name of the company. You let you’re club die.
