@blowupsheep - setting aside your views on Cosgrove, which I don't entirely agree with, when it comes to wee Bruce, I feel like I've never seen enough of him to know whether he can operate alone, or whether he needs to play off someone else in a partnership.

I've seen him in lots of highlights of U21 games, etc. and obviously his Dons cameos (but they have been mostly cameos) but has anyone on here seen him enough (in the flesh or not) to give a sense of what kind of environment he'd need to flourish?

As we've seen with Wright, Pawlett, Rooney in the later period, etc. McInnes has a tendency to play people out of position, thereby limiting their impact. And then almost by accident sometimes we discover that Wright or Hedges or Pawlett are not really out and out wingers, but are much better played through the middle.

So what would suit Bruce best?

(As an aside, although not a fan of Considine, I do think playing on the left of a back 3, with a wing-back in front of him, really suits him and he's doing much better this season as a result, fair play to him.)
