FlyBritishMidland Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 10 minutes ago, Rev said: I wouldn't argue with that. We shouldn't go back. Those that seek to revise history though, like he wasn't one of the best centre forwards in our recent history, need to accept he was actually a very good player, in a very decent team. Totally agree. He was a very clever player and helped others to score. If Mad Mel didn’t have an itchy trigger finger and had stuck with Mac 2 I’m convinced we’d have gone up the following season. Mac knew how to get the best out of him and a system that made use of his talents. But no, we shouldn’t go back. And he shouldn’t want to either. kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong and Alph 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we go back - as we did with Andre Wisdom - it mainly doesn't work. In fact I can't think of a time it DID work. Wisdom, shackell, even Kev the King Mark II wasn't a patch on the first time.....

Ram1988 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 If he was playing and banging in goals in the championship last year surely he can do the same in league one? Is McGoldrick a traditional PW player ? No, he wasn't but he was the first name on his team sheet last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can hold up the ball, brings others into play and knows where the back of the net is. Surely would be a welcome addition looking at our current options. Last time a player for time he was last here playing black and white shirt he had scored over 50 goals for derby. Ram1988 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 And devses that chance come back and score even more goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 It’s such a shame he isn’t playing in Fozzy’s testimonial. Presume it’s because he’s training with another club. If Warne was remotely interested and Chrissy wanted to come home, you’d imagine he’d be taking a look at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 “There is no intention, respectfully from me, to sign him. I play with a high press at the front of the pitch and I'd look a bit of an idiot if I signed a non-pressing centre forward in truth. "I don't know if he ever did press, but he's a target man and a great finisher. But you pick players who suit your system, not the other way around." Great Paul Warne quote. Not sure if he was speaking about Chris Martin or Jordan Rhodes at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUltraRam Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Still doing it Bless him. Not many shots but the the best goals per minutes played in the entire division. ( & no penalties) Like McGoldrick last season & Jordan Rhodes, Martin & Collins this season, age is seemingly no barrier in League One Edited January 15 by SamUltraRam GB SPORTS and kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamUltraRam Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) He wouldn't fit into our system & I wouldn't want him anyway My point is he's still doing it at his ripe old age It's just an observation rather than anything else Edited January 15 by SamUltraRam TomTom92 and kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) If there is one thing we have proven at DCFC it's that doing the same things over and over again never causes us any problems at all.

ram59 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Question; We're at the end of the window and haven't managed to get anyone in, CM is still available, would you take him? I would, but then again, I'd take almost anyone in for back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seth played a good cameo role but his knees were paggered by that time, Bobby played only ten games (OK, he scored 8 but still) before going back out on loan. Steve Bloomer scored at the same ratio for the 100 games when he came back, besides that I'm not sure I can think of many. Which is why I never fail to be amazed at this romantic notion that players age like wine, sorry but they don't - to quote Vicent Vega they sadly turn to vinegar.

Warne has stated he's not a player he's interested in, so would make no sense signing him and saying there you go Paul, here's that player you didn't want as back up, enjoy.
