📝McGoldrick signs

[Carlton_Pie]

I think this is fair comment. It has to be regarded as quite the coup.

This isn't the typical Football Radar signing, in terms of recruiting talented but unheralded young players with sell-on value, but maybe that's a misinterpretation of their strategy. Perhaps if the data says they're the right signing and they've somehow become available, then age isn't as big a deciding factor as we thought. Bostock was maybe another example of that.

I work with a Derby fan who says McGoldrick was a class above at League One level last season and by far their best player, so if he comes anywhere near that form he should be dynamite in League Two. I do wonder whether the intention is to play him alongside Langstaff, or whether he's been signed as a ready-made replacement if a big bid comes in, but let's hope it's the former. Add Cedwyn Scott to the mix and our attack looks capable of doing serious damage, given the number of chances we create.

Who knows, it might also send a game-changing signal of our ambition to those out-of-contract players trying to decide their best next move.

With Mcgoldrick signing and hopefully a fit Scott, our forward line has much more physicality about it.

I'll repeat what i said yesterday. This signing will not just add quality to our strike force, it's the kind of signing that will help attract other players. If we could somehow keep Langstaff, even until January we will be in the top 7 i'm sure.
