Player Suggestion David McGoldrick

[joe casey]

If he wants to stay local then he could be a big player for Rotherham in League 2. If Chezzy go up via playoffs he'd probably be the best player they've seen in decades.
Surprised Barnsley aren't giving him another year based off his contribution this season - seems to score/assist every week

Love to see him as a coach at BDTBL, but for his own career progression it would suit him to go as player coach / manager to Rotherham

Why do people get this idea that talented players automatically make good coaches?

Because with a certain section of our fan base- talent comes second to bladey bladeness

 

[bertieblade]

A talented player who is respected by his peers because he sees things that no other player can see and knows how to create space and runs to help his team mates has a much better chance of passing on that knowledge than the kick and rush type who have no knowledge to see these things.
In addition he always comes across as a guy with empathy and knowledge

You’ve just set out exactly the problem. He is, indeed, a talented player who sees things that other players can’t see. And that isn’t something that can be coached. That’s a natural ability that very few players have. You either have it or you don’t, it’s about vision and speed of thought, and it isn’t something you can pass on.

Yeah, this was Rooney's problem. He's talked about it a few times, how he couldn't communicate what he wanted to players who didn't have that natural understanding of the game.

Glen Hoddle also said the same thing back in the day.

Glen Hoddle also said the same thing back in the day.

Hoddle also said (after becoming a born again Christian), "...You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and a half-decent brain. Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime...".

Basically he believes (or believed at the time of that interview) that if you are born disabled, it was God's punishment for sins you did in a previous life.

So he can fuck right off.

Agreed. A vile thing to say and deservedly cost him his job.

But he was, nevertheless, spot on about the inability to coach certain things.

Interesting Hoddle fact - I once saw him at Alicante airport take a dummy out of a baby’s mouth & suck it.

 

[Booker4]

Wasn't good enough in the Championship 4 years ago. Also got injured a lot.

I think k he'd gone a little stale with us at that point. Since then he's stayed injury free like he was mostly with us and he's done really well. I think as a squad player and for the likes of One to learn off it could be good business.

No, it's a waste of resources that can be better spent.

We could use a positive influence like him in the dressing room I think even if One takes his minutes. He will still give us a moment or two of magic

Did he know said baby ?

We could use good championship level players in the dressing room.

 

[loyalblade95]

I am shocked if they are not trying to keep him, the guy is a one-man-goal-machine at that level?

One of the reasons behind him going to Barnsley was apparently because of Hourihane, who's leaving in the summer.
