If you'd been in a coma and hadn't seen football for a decade and someone told you Didzy had been a pivotal top 6 player for his entire career, you'd believe them. He makes watching an absolute joy.

If you'd been in a coma for 20 years and someone asked where Derby, Ipswich, Bolton and Portsmouth were in the football pyramid and where Fulham, Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth were, you'd be surprised.  

8,000 at a premier league match and a 130 million squad with 70 million wages in the championship- very fair play. Bournemouth AFC come on down.

Love his sublime, silky skills and obvious footballing intelligence. However what caps it for me is that he still has a hunger and passion for the game.

So many pros get to his stage of their careers and you can see it a mile off that they're just going through the motions for that final pay day. 

Absolutely love that desire and fire in his belly. Something tells me though that no player would get within a million miles of a Paul Warne team if they didn't give 100%.

He's far, far too good for this league.

I’m hoping that proves to be the case next season, no reason to believe he wouldn’t have a part to play in a newly promoted Rams team, fingers crossed.

We got lucky he’s settled in the area and appreciate’s being able to play for us, as much as we all appreciate him being here.

I saw the comparison with Chris Martin earlier in the thread. Martin was great for us and deserves the utmost respect but McGoldrick is totally different class

I agree and I adored Martin. Imagine young david M in 13/14 side!

Nah, about the same 

Martin was a better finisher and better at hold-up play. Diddzy’s more mobile and hard-working.

Always used to say Martin was a 9.5, not quite a 9 or a 10.

I think it’s more accurate to say Diddzy’s a 9.75 and Martin’s a 9.25

He is the only one who can control the football up front - if he could run he wouldn’t be in the third division with us 

I’ve been quite surprised at how well he runs tbh. But I wish PW would give him more rest

Sometimes when you're older, if you stop it takes longer to get back up to speed! ?

Problem is, your brain is still telling you you’re 18.  Same for Didzy.
 

The worry is, the way he takes the ball down and jinkily shields it, he’s frequently at full stretch. I would rest him from time to time, take him off whenever we have the luxury, keep his pre game warm up and stretches under constant review and get him a very attractive private yoga teacher

I thought you wanted him to rest?

When Rooney signed, some of his touches, vision and passing were the best I've seen from a Derby player in donkey's years.

DM has the same level of skill but with vastly superior general mobility and proper, decent pace over the first 5 yards.

He also has a magical ability to get his body in the right place to deny opponents a sniff of getting the ball, thus drawing fouls........seemingly invisible to the Accrington ref.

For me, best signing in ages........amongst a lot of decent LR signings.
