DukDukGoose Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 If the few bits of news that have crept out lately are true then this is exactly how the club should be working. Wright leaves - replaced by highly thought of youth player. Cosgrove sold for £2m profit, replace with similar player for free (no youth team option at present). Positive news. I've liked the look of Ross in the reserve games I've been able to see and the Raith fans seemed to think a lot of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Assuming Cosgrove is sold for real money and we can replace him, who do people think we'll be looking at? We could potentially afford the £1/2m that Hughes quoted for Stewart, but would we want to pay a fee at all? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we agree a pre-contract with Ross Stewart then County are probably a bit easier to deal with. If not then we'd be looking at the loan market, I presume. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Ross Stewart brought in as one of four strikers in the summer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Yeah I think as much as re-investing a fee is appealing the clubs main focus needs to be bridging the cash deficit we have. Get one or two loans in and protect the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way we should or will be paying £500k for anyone with five months left on their contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I was thinking about potential loanees. We've had a few from Bristol City so i had a look at their first team squad on their website. There's a very notable (from our point of view) omission that i might be reading too much into. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe reading too much … he doesn't have a squad number, like their other loaned out players, and none of them are listed on that page. Don't think it signifies any new developments, although I would be happy if we got him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flammable sheep Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 £2m for Cosgrove would be incredible, if your only experience of watching him was during the past year or so you wouldn't even value him at £0.2m. It would be very concerning if we're looking at the possibility of Main and Anderson as our only options for the rest of the season though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could potentially afford the £1/2m that Hughes quoted for Stewart, but would we want to pay a fee at all? I wouldn't be paying £500,000 for Ross Stewart if he'd signed a Jim McLean contract, let alone with 6 months left when we can get him for free in the summer. Should not even be entertaining that sort of outlay, regardless of whether we get £2m for Cosgrove. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Cosgrove 4 times the player Ross Stewart is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrational Behaviour Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Is Main fit for Saturday? Pretty sure he was replaced by Ngwenya minutes prior to kick off on Wednesday. No Cosgrove or Main will be interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afc69 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 This £500k is just Shree Hughes opening his cake hole and letting his belly rumble. Even if it was £50k, every penny is a prisoner (to us) so the player won’t be coming here in Jan, if at all. Exorct to see a Josh Parker, Wes Burns, Jeffrey Monikana type player arrive on Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
