JJ93 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 MK Dons were relegated today from League 1 to League 2. Osman Sow is out of contract with them in August. I'm not usually one for signing previous players but Sow would, imo, be a good addition to the squad and if we retain Naismith I don't think we would need to sign any more strikers. THOUGHTS?

He only played 17 times for them and according to wikipedia (which is often wrong on these issues) he only scored 2 goals. Nonetheless, he is proven up here to be a menace for defences and he scored 20 goals for us. I'd take him back and punt Sammon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendricks Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Seems like a great idea. He's not kicked a ball in 18 months, is constantly injured and contributed nothing to a dire Neilson team at MK Dons. Come to think of it, exactly the sort of waste of resources and unimaginative shite that we would countenance so it will probably happen.

Tynecastlesmychurch Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) I can completely understand why a lot on kickback would give him a pass. But he is proven up here. And he wouldn't be our main man. That position is currently Laffertys. So it wouldn't hit us as hard if and when he's injured. Plus I can't see us paying him a fortune. He'd be coming from a side relegated to league two. He's got pace to burn somthing witch we all agree we need a lot more of in the team. Can you imagine a front line of Sow Lafferty Milinkovic Naismith Just need to get the midfield and LB areas sorted out and we're looking a lot stronger!

BackOfTheNet Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Very rarely am I happy for players gone to return. Not convinced Sow is one i’d be bothered about either way. I’m just waiting on the thread about Jamie Walker - “not getting a game at Wigan since their promotion, available on loan - worth a punt?” I just want the right players to come in and for us to have a bit of luck with injuries, I don’t care if they’re former players or new, but must admit at being a bit excited by the unknown.

Sad to tell you but he rarely is and he's barely kicked a ball in 18 months. Would be a terrible move to bring him back given how essential it is for us to make no further missteps in the transfer window. We've already brought in cover up front and we need starters nit guys who are routinely injured or play when they can be bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 His star doesn't seem to be shining. I don't think he would fit in with Lafferty either. However you can trace our steady regression to the point he pissed off to China. I think it would be risky, he is a bit glass, but my goodness he was just about unplayable before he left. If he got that back he will be good for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamorgan Jambo Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 A very decent player but given that his run in the team between March 2015 and Jan 2016 when he left was probably his longest injury free spell in his career there's a lot of risk there.

BM1874 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 WHEN neilson was on sportsoun a few weeks back he said that when Osman signed he was one of our lowest earners due to his injury issues But also said he was a thoroughly good bloke who looks after his family and has built himself a home for his Mum in Sweden also in same interview, he was released by Crystal Palace and was due to come here but got sidetracked and on trial at Blackpool (confirmed by Alex Rae their then assistant who was on the show) who wanted to sign him but Oyston was apparently a nightmare to negotiate with so the window was lost and Osman came up signed here and the rest is history the last bit does give credence that he goes where his agent suggests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
