📝McGoldrick signs

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Oxford, Pompey, Derby and Notts are his options.

Oxford and Pompey have offered him double the wage and more.

Oxford were lucky to stay in league one last season and only finished two points clear of relegation. We've also signed Jodi Jones from there so I think if RR is to leave he could do better. Are they going to be able to challenge at the top end of league one next season? Oxford's average attendance is small compared to Derby and Portsmouth and was actually less than ours last season. Theirs was 8,393 and ours was 8,608. They are no bigger club than us and only just a level higher.

Derby seems an easy choice, it's a big club is local and will be aiming for the championship much like Portstmouth which is more of an upheaval.

What a joy it would be to see RR playing behind and feeding a combination of Langstaff/Scott/McGoldrick/Morais. That's some potent firepower with Langstaff and McGoldrick scoring 64 goals between them last season.

For some reason i don't get the feeling that he is here for his last pay day and over the hill. If he loves the club as suggested, i don't think he would be doing that to us , he could have just stayed at Derby for that.
Epic signing with more than a sprinkle of the ambition showed by the owners (brothers)

I'm imagining if Macca stays then DMcG as a striker alongside would mean defenders would have to choose who to double up on.

All this talk of lots of goals, but as we all know, the service needs to be there to provide and that wioo be tougher in l2. Teams will already know the kind of approaches that worked against us last year but I'm sure LW will slihhtly change things and coach the players even more ways of handling this.

Great signing with him and Bostock some serious experience in the side now. Up there challenging for a second promo Upies.

McG signing is a definte scoop for Notts.

proving 6 weeks is a long time in contract negotiations!:

Reminds me of the return of Tony Hateley all those years ago.

Me too. That was an amazing day. Saturday 7th November 1970. Northampton were top of Div 4 and Notts were second. 21000 turned up to see the return of big Tone. Notts won 1-0 with a Jon Nixon volley in the second half.

The old Meadow Lane stand was rocking that day.

I was there as well as a 15 year old, Gawd that's made me feel old.........

No-one, and I mean no-one, could head a ball like Big Tone.

I was much younger than you (I was 14), so yes you are old. I remember his hat-trick against Colchester.

I agree.
Without knowing the full contract details, it seems like he’s done the complete opposite of a final pay day.
