He's at the end of his career, he's probably done most of what he wanted to achieve (realistically), and I imagine he's made a fair bit of money whilst doing it. The opportunity to finish your career at the club you support is something that I think a lot of players would jump at. If anything, it probably speaks volumes about the type of character he is that it's not just about getting the biggest paycheck, or who's in the highest league.

alram Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 1 minute ago, David said: He says otherwise. “I’m a Nottingham boy so I know the history and I know the rivalry they have with Nottingham Forest, but Derby County is a great club. I’m a Notts County fan myself but I know all about how much this is a big club and have watched many over the years such as Paulo Wanchope and Fabrizio Ravanelli and I know about all the great strikers that have been here already.” https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/transfer-news/nottingham-forest-mcgoldrick-derby-county-7299878 hardly going to say hes a forest fan just as hes signed for derby is he i dont care that he is a forest fan, makes no difference to me but he is one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold up, didn't he say just a few weeks ago that he was close to hanging up his boots because he had no offers until we turned up? tbh I did think his Notts County comment was a ruse at first, in the way alram claims, but don't really see any real reason to doubt him Edited June 3, 2023 by Kokosnuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram-Alf Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Here's the proof he's a Notts County fan...he looks like he's pointing at the Ram on his shirt when in reality he's pointing at the Notts County shirt. i-Ram, Day, Rammy03 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve signed players from Forest before and it’s never been discussed or been an issue, Kris Commons for example. You choose to believe what you want, Santa Clause is real, tooth fairy’s exist and McGoldrick is a Forest fan if it helps you sleep better at night, the rest of us will believe what the man himself says that he’s a Notts County fan.

He went to watch them at the play off final the other week, that’s an odd level to go to in order to maintain a ruse. It’s entirely possible that his children are Forest fans even though he’s a Notts County fan. They will have potentially been born when their dad was playing for Forest, and grown up during a period where they have been the bigger and more successful of the Nottingham sides, therefore it’s logical that they would support Forest even if dad does not.

Kernow Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 To be fair, going to a play-off final to support a club you don’t actually support just to maintain a façade that nobody would really care that much about either way is real dedication.

TomTom92 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Good for him if he signs for Notts. Class player but there's no chance he'll replicate last seasons highs (he shouldn't have to). Reckon we'll find out within the next week where his future lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbados Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Before I tell you my snippet of info, I have no idea if he’ll re-sign or not, no idea if he’s literally just moving house etc. but my friend works for a removals company and has this week moved Didzys furniture “up north” Most likely means absolutely nothing, but he’s moving out of the Derby /Notts area non the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 He was due to sign yesterday, but on his return from holiday found out he'd been burgled. They didn't even leave the light bulbs behind, apparently.
