Simmer petal.

How do you know we aren't ready to pay the same for Campbell?

Hearts and Hibs have entirely different wage structures, and less expensive squads than us. We're shedding weight...wait until it happens before having a fit.

Indeed. A lot of panic over a few paper rumours. Let’s see where we are next week.

Forgive me for being thick but why do we need a big striker?
A quick memory search if recent (well recent for me and@jacksgranda) at our highest scorers and not one was a “big unit”

Harper
Jarvie
Black
Hewitt
Robb
Bett
McGhee
McGinn
Gilhaus

Etc.

Stop buying big guys Derek

He was interested in Brophy, well allegedly.

we probably need to sign four new strikers in 2021. so we'll be interested in every striker going.

I can see all of Cosgrove, Main and Anderson leaving in the next four months

Both of whom would improve your attack even at their ripe old ages.

£2m for Cosgrove, eh?  For that money I'd be looking for an entire sanctuary - not just one donkey.

I take it that you think that we’ve got a good deal then?

Haven’t Hibs binned off their Youth Academy?

I remember Caley did the same. It worked in the short term, but has proven a failure since. Its hard to keep making the right signings and they can leave on Bosman's once established, just like the youth players. At least you get development money for the youth players.

So Mcinnes bought Cosgrove for £25k and is looks like he is going to be sold for 2 Million. Will Mcinnes get credit for making the club a lot of money? 😄

It's probably Russ Richardson and McInnes best story. Stockley decent as well because we made a quid on him too.

 

The other big success stories like Rooney, McLean etc is probably down to just the management team and less so the scouting.

Right call by the Board to not match £300k i'd say. A bit too rich when we are losing money left, right and centre.

I also had my doubts about his goalscoring

edit to say before get accused of changing tune ... yes he was a player I'd have liked but just cant justify going as high as £300k

Agree with Tord.

My thoughts are he's a near identical player to Cosgrove. He hasn't scored from open play this season and we can't afford to be dishing out 300k on a player who doesn't justify it.

Hornby would be an exciting signing imo.

Hornby wouldn't be a good signing. 

Main will be your first choice if Hornby/Hendry are the quality you're looking at.
