I think I would have turned them down as well

Turned down a £2m move to French Club Guingamp:

Saw Guingamp play at home against Monaco in league 2 there nice little ground, looked out for their results ever since. It’s incredible that they have a stadium of 18,000 but the town only has a population of 7280. The Monaco manager that day was Claudio Ranieri and they had some top class players.

Aberdeen open to selling him to ‘maximise’ his worth:

More likely wanting to cash in now that his purple patch is coming to an end and he'll probably be playing for Annan in a few years.

Cosgrove our for 4 months apparently. No sell on this transfer window probably.

Link to DB’s post:

Admin, do you have the means to change the thread title to "Sam Cosgrove" - I got a little excited when reading the existing title.."Sam Cosgrove signs 6 months deal" the original and now outdated title.

Edmundson from Leeds off to Aberdeen on loan - possible replacement?

Given he’s injured for a while then likely...

Never realised.

I thought Leeds didn't loan players out CW?

They haven't before unless the players are on their way out, but we are in the prem now (just in case anyone never noticed) and Edmundson is a bit of a strange one.
He's very much an old style bruiser of a forward, which is not really Bielsa's style. They have been working like mad over the last couple of seasons to get him more mobile, and he apparently got to the stage where they were ready to throw him in, but then got a bad injury.
Critical time and move for him this.
There will be some great young kids going on loan this year I'd say (Gotts and McAlmont for example). Seems a change of policy.

Edmundson sounds like my kind of striker, a proper frontman alongside a sniffer is a tried and tested tactic. He should get planty game time with Cosgrove out long term.

Would hardly call a 19yo with a combined total of 6 appearances at the start of his fourth Season ‘a proper frontman’!

Looked the part without doing anything outstanding. They picked up when he came on, not that they could have got much worse.

I can remember Mark Beck trending on twitter after the Blackburn League cup match .Looked like he would be a fantastic player for us....look how that turned out . Or Macheda in his first few matches for Man u looked like he the future of the club.

To be fair Beck may end up being a league 2 striker again by tonight.

I meant in terms of his style of play but then you already knew that. Different of the latest fad of sticking three wingers upfront.

And Edmondson out for up to 4 months after an injury in Training...

That’ll put our special relationship with Leeds loaning us loads of players in serious jeopardy.

Not heard much from the milk tray man lately, he must be so busy as usual.

He'll be busy at his 2nd hand car lot
