Don Cowie Offski

[Guest CALEY108]

I've heard this from a few sources now,and one being from within the club

Don is now being tracked/watched by the bigger SPL clubs and also by a number of championship clubs in England

Hardly surprising i suppose considering the way he is playing

I've been told he could be on his way once the transfer market opens again if the right offer comes in

Anyone else heard this?

[PullMyFinger]

If true I'd expect a barrowload of money considering his form and term of contract. Hope the scouts are out and about preparing for the transfer window.

[Caley Mad In Berks]

Not heard it, but if its true, I hope the club holds out for a decent fee, say ?1million.  Considering what Hibs got for some of their players, this does not sound excessive.  I wonder if County get a selling on percentage?  However, I'd rather he stayed for a couple of sesons.

I've been told he could be on his way once the transfer market opens again if the right offer comes in

The same could be said about every single player we have.

[CaleyD]

Exactly what I was thinking Yngwie - bit of a non-story IMO.

[Scotty]

Not unexpected given that most fans have said he is our best player so far this season and his performances have been top notch.

Guess it depends on a few factors - a decent offer, the player's wishes, and whether or not the manager wants to sell .....

At 24 (and therefore no money due to County as he came on a 'bosman' and he is over the age for youth compensation) he is the sort of classy player (along with Black) that Brewster might want to try and build the side around so perhaps we should look to sweeten the pot for him. He is under contract until May 2009 so maybe a contract extension with enhanced terms is in order ???

[+Gringo]

Maybe put him on the same wage scale as Niculae...  :023:

[Kingsmills]

I would agree but if he's determined to leave then the club should make sure that they are at least ?750,000 the richer.

[johnnykipper]

When he does go he will probably move to a much bigger club like Dundee Utd or St. Mirren like the rest of our former stars

[Scotty]

A classic case ..... we have gone from this

Don is now being tracked/watched by the bigger SPL clubs and also by a number of championship clubs in England

to this

Not heard about antbody specififc sniffing but if he carries on playing the way that he is it is only a matter of time.  :029:

[Scotty]

We are a smaller club playing in the top division of our country, its hardly surprising if other clubs come to watch any of our players who are doing well. However, it doesnt automatically mean the player "wants away" ........

All we can do is hope that the player keeps playing as well as he currently is and that when the time comes, the club do what they can to keep him with an enhanced offer. They might succeed, they might fail, but in the end, its up to the player.

[Glebeict]

  There have only been a few games played , and Don Cowie is Off . That would be ridiculous - even for the SPL.

Not all!! Bingo went to Gretna :003:

[TomCaleyJag]

A few of my m8s, who are unlucky enough to support county, insist that a Celtic scout came to Victoria park to watch cowie a couple of season ago. In the unlikely event that that was true, it could be celtic that are after him now.

I doubt it, but then again with his form would he really be out of his depth at Celtic? Cowie could get into say the Hibs side just now, and as the Tic fans reminded us, they are 'Celtc's feeder club'  :004:

It may seem unlikely but it is definatley true - Celtic looked at Don a couple of seasons ago while he was still with County.

I agree with Mr PP, if Mr Big comes sniffing about he may well disappear like snow from a dyke.

Had to read that for a second time as I understood something completely different from it the first time around - good line though  :001:   :023:

[Proctor]

This seems like typical Inverness/Scottish attitude, we've been blessed with something great in Don and we automaticly think he wont be in our pisswater town for long. I can see him staying in Inverness for at least another season (touch wood)

[Scarlet Pimple]

Sophia--er... what does Mr PP mean . I have seen this a few times but Esperanto is not my first language. :003:

If it was in vancouver it would be easy--just Pan Pacificirlines or something like thath  but....?

About increasing his wages--after Marios 's controversial package would that put the nail in the proverbial ICT "same for all" policy do you think? :029:

[Guest sophia]

SP,

Mr PP:

It?s a thing Mr I Howden-Ender and I have, he might be able to initial you via the town of Hamelin.

Just a bit of gentle fun given his propensity for leading the singers from the east to the north and back to the east once again.

The unexpected enunciation of said abbreviation was unexpected but made me chuckle!

The good thing about Mr PP is that he can give and take, as good old Kenny used to say "all in the best possible taste"!

[Alex MacLeod]

For anyone who is still confused I believe  the initials PP translate to Pied Piper.

Could we please try and avoid straying of the topic subject.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

And I would only allow a feckin dyke to call me that.  :001:

[Scarlet Pimple]

:015:

Just so long as PP does not stand for poo poo... :002:

[Sir C the 3rd]

?750,000 to ?1 million for Cowie,  he's a good player but settle down!
