DM likes Cosgrove - sees him as some kind of "justified project" almost.Originally Posted by D31
He's under a long-term contract.
Think he'll stay - another good season and someone like a Preston/Hull etc might start offering £1m or whatever.
I still think he may be a one season wonder, or more accurately, a 2 month wonder where 80% of his goals were scored.
As for May, I'd love to get him off the books, but that won't be easy.
The teams who MIGHT be interested, for example St Johnstone, would pay him roughly half what we do.
He has 2 years left of a contract left - say it's £3k per week - that's £312k.
We'd likely have to pay him half of that to offset the £1.5k per week a St Johnstone may offer?
IF we signed a good striker and the options were Cosgrove, the new bloke, Main & Anderson, I'd be a lot happier with that.
What I mean is if Main is a replacement for May, then that's ok.
The priorities for me are midfield and left back. If we got two good first pick midfielders and a good left back, we have the guts of a good starting X1
After that, I'd see what's left in the budget and take it from there.
