Can pass, can dribble, can do clever things with the ball but can't fuckin finish. He's cost us a lot of points recently with his powder puff finishing, either play him in midfield or not at all. He is not a striker.

No you are not wrong. Should be him or Duffy for the 10 role. We need a new striker.

His wife must have a dildo then.

suppose it's got as much chance of scoring as Mcgoldrick, but I'm not sure??

That’s “petri” though, but I know what you mean.

I was referring to the ancient place in Jordan.

Shep must be chomping at the bit for a run out.

We should have played that baby elephant that shat in the studio.

either play him in midfield or not at all

Honestly its exactly what I've been thinking lately. I like his game but he's just not clinical enough as a striker.

It is obvious you have not read the other threads. We are fed up of new threads about a topic already mentioned in other threads.

This has been discussed several times. It’s common knowledge that McGoldrick is never going to score many goals otherwise he’d cost well over 15 million and be playing in the PL. We could easily bring in a better goal scorer than McG but overall quality and awareness would be much worse unless we pay 15 to 20 million.

So if he’s poor at putting away chances then how come he’s spent his whole career at a decent Championship level?

The answer is that his quality, control, hold up play/ link play, intelligence is PL level.
The big issue is if you play a Cardiff/ Bolton style then McGoldrick would be ineffective as his strengths would be wasted
But if a team likes to play a passing/ possession game with overlapping fullbacks then McG complements that style.

The key is having other players around him who can score. We are one of the highest scoring teams so his inclusion has improved us.

People have this incorrect black and white view that a striker only needs to score to deserve a place in a team. However it’s a team game, if a striker links the play, sets up goals but never scores resulting in plenty of wins, then surely you would still play that striker.

if a striker links the play, sets up goals but never scores

probably wouldn't call him a striker tho' .............
