    Default New striker-Cody macdonald ?

    Not from my normal sources, but a name that has been mentioned the last few days, and now someone on GH has heard we are sniffing around him...

    Would fit right into the Roll of Danny Graham, imo

    Heard this as well, loan with a option to buy, would be a decent signing

    I said he'd be worth a look a couple of months ago.

    Saw him play twice for Gillingham last season and he looked a good player, got goals in him as he showed throughout the season and has a bit of pace.

    A loan with a view to a permanent would be for the best just in case, as he hasn't really done anything at this level before.

    I've heard this chucked about once or twice before. Never actually seen him play until that video.....very similar to DG in my opinion with the way he plays, holds up the ball and creates space. Can also score with his head which is good!

    If he were to come along i'd be happy with him as a replacement.

    Mate of mine is a Gillingham fan, he rates McDonald higher than Simeon Jackson, not as quick but much better all round game and finishing.

    Would be happy with that

    I've been told he's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder, but if mcmuffin else, he's a striker that could offer up a goal Mcflurry.

    Would be a good signing. Joined Norwich from non-league (Dartford I think), did well for them in Div 1, was loaned out to Gillingham last season to get more experience, but Lambert presumably thinks that he needs ready-made strikers if Norwich are to survive in the Prem. Understandable if Cody is disappointed, but it would be rational to let him go to a Champ team where he could get some games.

    A good goalscorer with plenty of pace, but I'm not sure that he's a target man like DG, as he always fed off Grant Holt at Norwich.

    Any idea if it would be a loan or to buy? Peterborough were told over £550,000 for him.

    I'm not too sure about this one , Bas mentions turning the Red Lion into a family restaurant and the same time we are linked to a new player with the same name.
    A coincidence possibly but something definatley not quite kosha with this one.

    Liked the look of him from that video. Pacey, good in the air, skillful, knows where the net is and is good with both feet.

    A loan move (including permanent deal) would be the sensible option as he is untried at this level but I reckon he could do a good job here if he was to sign.

    He looks very similar to DG, even down to the way he runs.

    Only has 12 months left on contract so loan is unlikely

    I'd imagine that it would make it likely if the loan agreement has an agreed fee for the player at the end of the loan, as well as an up front loan fee.

    Why is it essential we get someone in the mould of DG?

    I read an article by G Neville (******, I know but he was right in what he said) about how you shouldn't look to like for like replace players, but look for a new way of making things work.

    Admittedly at a club like Man Utd that's probably a lot more easier.

    That said, I'd be happy with McDonald, providing he steps up to NPC level.
    Some people assume I think the world revolves around me, which, of course is complete and total nonsense, the world revolves around the sun which shines out of my arse...

    If you have any feedback, queries or suggestions in regards to WFC Forums, then feel free to PM them to me or post them here.

    Would be a decent signing, Macdonald and Sordell upfront could be dangerous,

    The Wednesday Chairman reckons he was talking to him yesterday. He's pretty well off so, don't hold your breath.
