CONFIRMED David McGoldrick Signs

[aBladeInTheNorthernSky]

we should known we were in for something special when he casually dinked it over Samir Handanovic at the Bramall Lane end to give us the lead against Inter Milan

 

[S64 Blade]

I'd be happy with McGoldrick. Had a good season with Ipswich and looked good at the Lane.

There are some doubts there about fitness, but that's what the trial is for. If we go for him, I'm sure he will be given an appropriate contract like Donaldson was, should it not work out.

Phew!

excellent tonight. Everything good involves him.

Edit. Got another

Agreed to a point but we did go up in 2nd place the season he left.
Do enjoy that he moved back to his hometwon club in League 2 to see out his career and has essentially found it too easy - will be a reall asset to Barnsley in League 1 if he can stay fit

 

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

How good was he and how blessed were we!
As ever UTB !

 

[Swannyblade]

My barber cuts some of the Barnsley players' hair and apparently they've all been raving about how good he's been in training already. They've been saying that he's sharp, fit as a fiddle and has unreal ability with the ball at his feet (not news to us!).
He'll be a real asset to Barnsley if he can stay injury free and a good role model to their young squad. You could see how much the younger players looked up to and respected him when he was at United. Could be a clever acquisition by Hourihane.

The thing that (almost) made me laugh about that article in the Star, is when they say that we are trying, unsuccessfully, to get Hogan from Villa on loan, but Villa don't want to do a loan, so we've turned to McGoldrick instead! Bloody hell! That's a bit like me saying, I've been in the Ferrari dealers and tried to knock them down in price on the Ferrari 458, but they're having none of it. So I've been down to Lookers on Saville Street and got myself a Ford Fiesta instead.

I'm assuming United realise that Villa are up shit-creek without a paddle? I'm assuming they realise that they desperately need to raise cash? I'm even assuming United know that they paid £12M for Hogan and that he's on big wages? If we do know those things, what on earth makes us think, for one moment, that they'd be happy to let him go out on loan? They'll want shut of him for a fee - for a big fee I'd imagine - maybe at least half of what they paid for him - and then the buying club will need to find over £30k a week to pay him.

I admire the tenacious spirit of United in this case, with the same level of admiration that I would have watching a little Fox Terrier snapping at a Rottweiler. You have to admire it's courage and fearlessness, but you know also that it hasn't a chance in hell of winning that particular battle.

Tuned up Fiesta RS1800 with Nitrous!
