The Summer Transfer Window

I don't know.
Maybe as opposed to being a direct replacement for Cosgrove, he's a replacement for May

Where is May going?

2 years left on his deal.

Plus if the big striker up front isn’t working there’s not much point in bringing on another big striker who hardly scores to replace him.

Where is May going?

I don't know, hence the use of the word maybe.
Maybe he'll go out on loan, maybe he'll be released, maybe he'll be traded as a player exchange somewhere.

I don't think of Main replacing Cosgrove as they are not exactly similar, but I see similar traits in Main with May

Curtis Main is only 5’10”.
Whilst he’s physical & strong, he’s not a Cosgrove “target man” type.
With those two though, there’s next to no finesse.

Probably because he loves a striker that doesn't score goals.

Well thats what hes got, cant believe Main has secured a deal like that , nearly as big a shock as Hibs given us money for Bigirimani. He may well turn out to be a star but his form at Motherwell should at best have seen him in the English 2nd Division or lower.

Motherwell fans are not bothered in the slightest at the thought of Main ending up here.
In fact they’re surprised...

Hang on a minute, is this confirmed anywhere? Until I see him in a red top I'm choosing to believe / hoping that it's bo11ocks

"...he chased a lot of lost causes..."

That's why Mcinnes wants him!

Yeah I noticed that on his Wikipedia page.

Looking at the goals he has scored on YouTube it’s still quite difficult to figure out what type of striker he is.

Not that tall.

Not that fast.

Only scored over 10 goals in 1 season.

There was a goal on his highlights for either Darlington or Doncaster where he was out on the left wing,cut inside and scored from 25 yards.

Maybe McInnes has been watching moneyball again

Suggestions on AFC chat that a player will be “unveiled” tomorrow.

My guess is we’ll see Evening Express headlines of “I can be the Main man”.

Safranko on for Utd. He was rumoured to be a target
