First of the rumours for upcoming transfer window.

Stewart meets all our requirements in a striker - big, strong and does not score many goals. 
 

Campbell has impressed in games I have seen him in but would be surprised if he does not have offers from clubs in England. 

- Hibs have been linked with showing an interest in the Daily Record

Hibs want to buy a newspaper?

Fraser Hornby anyone ?

Well,he's another big unit at 6'4".Dont know much about him,but could be a decent shout.6 in 10 for Scotland youth.Sold to Reims for £1.8m

Is there speculation about Hornby or is that just a random suggestion?

according to the,er... Sun

Been picked up by the EE now

Was ace against San Marino, then utter horse in the following two games (by horse, I mean dead horse). A good risky signing if we could actually sign him. Not sure as a loan, as I get the impression he wouldn't hit the ground running as he looked miles off the pace in the u21s. Ferguson, McRorie, McLennan were all night and day better than him. He's big though.

curiously positive about Hornby

OK guys perhaps a little naughty of me to just throw that name out there without a source but E.D picked it up.

Rico is right in that anyone watching him in those games will have seen the good, the bad and the ugly from him. 

Really have no idea if there is even do much as a tiny bit of truth in the story, but if there is you know it might just work if given the correct service.

If brought in to have balls hammered at him forty yards out with back to goal however then it's probably not a great idea

He's basically not as good as Cosgrove. But he's different, so would get the benefit of the doubt. 

callum hendry being mentioned .. sackable offence

If that is someone's idea of a joke, then they're pretty sick

Surely fucking not. 4th choice striker at St Johnstone.

Had a decent goal a 12 game ratio when he was on loan at Brechin. BHH  ?

Jesus. I mean, I wouldn't wish for covid infection rates to soar, cancelling the season, but...

If true, just pack up & put the lights out. 
Utter shite.

Main, Hendry & Anderson. 

What a time to be alive 

Scott Burns reporting the Cosgrove deal is agreed.

Birmingham still after Nisbet also but Hibs holding out for £3m allegedly.

Stewart remains our first choice with Hornby a second choice.

Read we are in talks with a championship club for a loan deal. Louis Moult fits the profile, ex SPL player who had some success once, went south, injuries, and not much else since, but we’ll hope for former glories.

Thought he was still.some time away from playing again then if so and given we need someone immediately I suspect it is unlikely to be him even given our record of signing crocked players.

Surely

Considering we’ve been whoring Cosgrove around for the best part of a year, you’d think we would have a regularly updated shortlist of replacements for him, especially in the event that someone comes in for him in the last few days of the transfer window, I.e. lessons learned from the McKenna saga. Scrambling about getting a St Johnstone fringe player in on loan is not very encouraging.

Open to the idea of Hornby but a giant long-haired galoot up front for Aberdeen is going to be an easy target for referees.

I’d rather put McGinn up front than most of the other names linked.

Last article I saw on Moult said he hadn’t started back training in December and that it was likely to be a few weeks more before he was going to be at that stage. Really hope it’s not Moult. 

If it was Moult perhaps it would finally put to rest the debate....
