McGoldrick has been the best of a bad bunch during an extremely mediocre campaign.

Agreed. Got a soft spot for him but also think he’s really done wonders for us in a couple of games

You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995" |

"Accidental fulcrum", that's a new one on me The award is clearly based solely on performances for the national team (Whelan is hardly being nominated nominated for sitting on Hearts bench and playing a few games for Fleetwood, is he?). Based on that glaringly obvious fact, Matt Doherty is obviously not going to win any awards due to him not playing that many games for national team McGoldrick's primary role was never as a goalscorer for Sheff Utd, and the fact you think it was shows that you're talking out of your h*le. He got a decent haul last year in the Championship, but Sharp was their main goalscorer. McGoldrick (as with this season) played the "2nd striker" role, dropping deeper than his partner to link play with midfield. This is how he has always played, right back to his Ipswich days. He was essentially tasked with doing the same thing for Ireland, with the difference being that he didn't have a strike partner alongside him to get a head of the play, meaning he had to pretty much do double the work. And he did that, basically running himself into the ground in every performance.

Re the point in bold, that is literally exactly what I've said. You are contradicting your own claim (that his primary function at Sheffield United was as a goalscorer) and supporting mine (which is that he remit is actually a fair bit wider than that). I'm not even going to address the other paragraph; it's the 2nd time in two days you've tried to excise a quote from one thread and requisition it into a completely unrelated thread; obsessed is a word that comes to mind

Are you even following what is being said, or are you just typing random nonsense? You first claimed McGoldrick's primary function in Sheffield United's team was to score goals; I argued that it was not; you then contradicted yourself by agreeing with me that he was actually a "2nd striker" rather than a goalscorer; and now you're claiming that I've agreed with your original argument that his primary job is goalscoring? Mr. Thick may be a more appropriate moniker If your argument boils down to "his position contains the word striker, therefore his only job is to score goals" then your understanding of football tactics is about 30 years outdated. It's like saying "a full backs only job is to defend" (whereas in most modern teams it is actually to attack and create chances); or a goalkeepers only job is to catch crosses (when in reality their distribution is now just as important as traditional "goalkeeping skills"). McGoldricks role at Sheffield United follows exactly the same logic, he may play up front, but he is not in the team to be a regular goalscorer. Wilder selects him to link play, create space/chances, and defend from the front; and he's excellent at it. That is why Wilder refers to him as "the most complete footballer he's ever worked with".

Wilder is clearly destined to become manager of the EIRE if he considers a striker's role to be the first line of defence. Look at any of the top ranking nations, their centre forwards are all at least relatively prolific which is what they are chosen for. Players in that position there 60 % at least for the purpose of scoring goals, 15-20% maybe for creating them - which is something McGoldrick doesn't do a lot of either, only 2 assists as well this season so half what Stevens contributed - and the remainder for the rest of the toil. Like Long he's great holding up the ball, running the channels, linking play etc but what we need from our centre forward is the Robbie Keane job of hitting the back of the net, as nobody else much is going to do it for us. His saving grace is that none of our other strikers are doing this at the top level either so his auxillary duties justify his place in the side at least. Apologies to Browney

Going to predict Burnley or West Brom if the story is true.

Southampton and Crystal Palace were interested in January according to the source. He's in the last year of his contract with Preston and changed his agent recently to push for a move.

Looks like Southampton selling hojberg to sours, so could be an opening there.

Bang on is this club not Leeds no? Well well documented they have shown interest in him in the past and Preston are essentially a mini Leeds. Would make sense it is them. Failing that maybe Burnley.
