He's 30 year old, a proven goalscorer, already got 7 in 11 for Salford - Worse league but you'd assume worse supply? Guy knows where the goal is!
Was far from finished it's just DM's obsession with more sitting midfielders than attackers/strikers prohibited him, especially as he was having to track back to help the left and right back at times! Was far better when we had Hayes and McGinn in full flight.
Selling him with no other option in the door was complete folly.
May is on a hiding to nothing though as he's in the same situation as Rooney with having to do a ton of legwork and he's not as deadly as Rooney so it means he's just buzzing about up there with no end product.
Cosgrove isn't a footballer - he's a non-league/highland league player who should be doing this part time and would cause problems due to his height at that level. Against any decent organised defence he's got no chance.
Anderson should be up there every week but DM won't do it - yes he's young, yes he will be inconsistent due to that and yes he's smaller but he obviously knows where the goal is - sadly in the modern game folk want carthorses and guys who run about up there rather than just putting the ball in the damn net!
