Cosgrove

Good afternoon, just back from a lovely walk along the east coast of Scotland on my hols in Elie. Makes a change to walking the pooches at St Ann's (which is lovely too).
Cosgrove was signed by Birmingham from Aberdeen for £2M , he was then loaned out to Wimbledon where apparently he was an utter donkey.
Argyle signed him on loan & we were pleasantly surprised how good he was. Schumacher mainly used him if plan A was going pear shaped (i.e. when Hardie & Ennis two small nippy strikers weren't hitting it off). This resulted in Argyle turning round a number of games in their favour. Cosgrove scored two at Derby when Argyle were two nil down resulting in an ultimate win & a cracking header against The Massive to turn the game round. He was very much a part of Argyle's Championship winning season.
For a big guy he's got surprisingly good ball control & is good for holding the ball up front & is great for defending set pieces.
He'd be a great addition to your squad but I wouldn't rely on him being your sole striker to depend on. Schumacher managed to get the best out of him , I reckon Critchley could do the same.
One negative ; he committed a horror tackle on a Bolton player in the Pizza final, how he only got a yellow God only knows but that was out of character ( probably due to frustration on Argyle being totally outplayed) but I suppose a horror tackle on a Bolton player would go down well up here ....back to my hols...

Assume you had some realy good fish dishes at the Ship Inn at Elie😃
 
It seems Birmingham have signed Sory Kaba, the big forward Cardiff had on loan last season. That pushes Cosgrove further down the pecking order and suggests he will be on the move.
 
Not a bad signing if we do. A fair few clubs after him it seems.

I would say he done well at Aberdeen, SPL is definitely on a par with league 1 despite some comments and also Plymouth last year 33 apps 8 goals. Probs would have been better if he had more but certainly a good option to have.

We need someone like him but I bet it will be a player no one has even mentioned.

Interesting how that seems to be the case this season - my money is on two decent loans coming in before the end of the month. It's the way we've done business since Sadler came in and can't see it being any different this season.

Many of those 33 appearance for Plymouth were coming on as sub. In terms of minutes on the pitch he played less than 14 full league games for them, which equates to 26 goals over a full season.
