Dominic at the DET has tweeted to players on holiday is holding up closing deals. And you’ve contradicted yourself. If we’re already working on a replacement - presumably in anticipation of Didzy moving - how is that reactive? If we are being reactive then about 1 hour ago PW was be sat there thinking “bugger, didn’t see that coming” and now doing something about it.

The club proactively offered a contract to McGoldrick. There’s every possibility that a replacement has been sorted, the transfer window is yet to open and there’s plenty of time for announcements to be made, in my view you’re just very keen to turn this into a bigger drama than it is. It will only be a major problem if we fail to recruit players before the season starts, McGoldrick was great, other players could be too, wait and see before having a full on meltdown.

Ilkestonian Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I'm disappointed he's decided to leave but I'd rather players leave (whoever they are) if they don't want to stay with us - I only want players that are fully committed to us if that's ever possible 🤔 DiggerB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Again, absolutely gutted McG has left, but feel much better that he went to Notts rather than any other club. Clearly a true gentleman. We needed a striker in with McG here so 2 should be coming...could be an exciting few weeks. I hope we are going for the Cole Stocktons and May's of the world, proven league 1 goal scorers. Caerphilly Ram and Derby4Me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Ah, good luck to him. At his best he looked a class apart in this league and he was seriously good fun to watch. Some games he had me actually feeling sorry for the opposition CBs, that's how good he was 😂 Sadly, it was a one year deal, it's over and he wants to end his career on his terms and elsewhere. I think we just have to accept and respect that and maybe not catastrophise it into something more challenging than it is. angieram, Caerphilly Ram, May Contain Nuts and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollycutts1982 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Gone to his boyhood club after a stellar season with us. I very much doubt he’ll hit double figures next season so on a positive note it enables us to sign some younger, hungry strikers. Always best to leave while riding the crest of a wave. Good luck Didzy. Comrade 86 and Ram-Alf 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he then went on to score more last season than in the previous 10 combined or summat, was hardly predictable but very fortunate for DCFC. Now we're going to have to take another punt.... So we sign another player that has never been a 25 goal a season striker but he does it for us. Simple. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only be a major problem if we fail to recruit players before the season starts, McGoldrick was great, other players could be too, wait and see before having a full on meltdown. This, pretty much. It could be the perfect scenario if we recruit well - and especially if (as it would seem) he wanted to go to Notts County anyway. We did well out of him; he must feel the same after a brilliant season for him personally. As I tried not to moan too often last season though, amidst the brilliance, he gave the ball away far too much (as Warne publicly recognised) and I never thought he was truly a "Warne player" (whether or not that's a good argument in other people's books is another issue!)

Tamworthram Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 2 hours ago, Gee SCREAMER !! said: One who wanted too prove himself again. We won't be that lucky again. He was also one of the last in the door following a quick turnover of established higher division players coming into the club. Our top scorer and best player has exited the building, that will have a serious effect on anyone thinking of joining from a higher division this time round or anyone with other options. You never know. Who would have expected us to sign a player that would go on to score so many goals for us at the start of last season? To be honest though, I don’t care too much if our top scorer only manages something like 15 goals provided we get the results we need. I don’t mind if the goals are more evenly shared around. I really don’t think McGoldrick’s departure will put anyone, who was previously thinking of joining us, off from signing. I reckon any such players will get the reason he has chosen Notts County and why we didn’t also offer him a 2 year contract (assuming we didn’t).

Simple. 😀 All I've ever seen down the years is that trying to predict what you will get based upon their previous season is a mugs game. Nobody was predicting didzy was going to be a key player for us. Certainly not a 25 goal machine. And when we have signed players with fantastic recent scoring records they're almost inevitably flops. So may as well just see who we get and don't pay attention to his recent numbers as they're rarely a reliable guide. Unless it's haaland of course....
