I thought Forest and Sunderland were after him. Not much of a move up that!

Curle really dropped the ball letting Shankland go by the looks of it.

I would say he did.

Then again we all thought that Cosgrove was going to be shite.

Let’s see how Cosgrove gets on this season before casting judgement on him, got a feeling he might struggle and not totally convinced with him yet.

Hit a real purple patch in the middle of the season when he couldn’t stop scoring but either side of that he struggled, think he scored in 1 of the first 15 games and just 3 of the last 15. Saw him play a couple of times last season and he was pretty poor.

Talk of million pound moves to the championship by some on here we’re a tad premature I think.

Down to himself I guess - seems to have the right attitude and is still very young to be banging them in at the top level of Scottish football, think he was up there with the top scorers.

As long as he stays at Aberdeen and doesn't suffer any sophomore blues next season then he could be the real deal and aim higher.

Mark Cullen and Richie bennet both scored today for Port Vale

It would just be our sodding luck if the strike partnership of Mark Cullen and Richie Bennett fired Port Vale to promotion.

I might have a rare bet on them - if they don't then I wont be as bothered.

50 grand
for Richie Bennett!

Bournemouth signing Jack Stacey for 4 Million. Worlds gone mad.

Unbelievable like!

Amoo to Port Vale

Is that four players minimum that have played for Carlisle that they have on the books then with Joyce, Bennett and Cullen added.

I'd be worried if I was a Port Vale fan. Imagine the meltdown if we'd signed those 4 this summer (I know they already had Joyce).

And I'd be worried if I was a Cambridge fan - they wanted to keep Amoo and couldn't even manage that.

I think I'd be happy with those four given what we're likely to be signing.

I know you wouldn't.

Unless all historical precedent is wrong.

If you could keep all four fit then they aren't the worst players that you could sign, all are pretty decent on their day although Amoo can spend half a season running to the half way line and then not knowing what to do - maybe that is the way Kavanagh wanted him to play though.

I knew he was related to Steve Archibald

Alex Gilliead signs for scunthorpe

Bastien making his debut in the Champions league tonight.

Another one who we let leave..

Robbie Fowler's wasting no time in getting lads over from England is he

Taking Ex Player Watch to the limit so not overly contemporary, but I caught up with the Sunderland documentary on Netflix last night and noticed John Cooke is their kitman.

Could probably still do a job for us

I really liked John Cooke, a decent player in a not so decent side at times.

Great stuff, really pleased for him.

You wont find many on here who didn't rate JK - I wonder how different our fortunes would have been if he didn't get that injury.

I once had a book called "Connahs Quay" it was one of those boys book things with a cover similar to a 'Commando' mag - great stuff

I know where theres a cheap flight going spare

Oh dear. They finished 3rd in the SPL and remember seeing their fans rejoice at this great achievement.
They have just been knocked out of Europe by Connah’s Quay.

And Lewis Brass had a good game in goal for Connors Key

This reminds me of David Pleat deliberately refusing to pronounce foreign players' names correctly even when his co-commentator was doing so.

Ok then, Luis Brazzio. Better?

Shaun Miller back to morecambe on loan.
