Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
Palace now speaking with Leicester regarding Chris Woods; however, Pearson will want to bring a striker in before agreeing any deal. Nick Powell at LCFC to finalise loan deal from MUFC. Pity about the latter, but Williams might still be a go-er. Jonathon Parr might persuade him!

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
The current Ipswich line on this deal happening is put your fee up or p*ss off.
Nice.

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
Latest from LCFC, via Sky, is that the club has now ceased all interest in McG. ITFC 's
valuation not met - same to apply to any other potential bidders. Nice one - though not sure how Didsy will feel about it!

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
I am sure McGoldrick will be fine with it, sitting on the bench at Leicester wouldnt appeal to him surely.
Lets hope Jonathon Parr can influence Williams to come here should he become available.

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
Not sure that McG wouldn't have been happy to be part of a PL squad, and effectively fight for a regular starting berth. Other domestic, as well as financial, incentives would probably have had a strong influence. Still time, of course, for other bids; but well done to ME for standing firm (so far!).bluemike wrote:I am sure McGoldrick will be fine with it, sitting on the bench at Leicester wouldnt appeal to him surely.

Naturally Yes to Wiliams, if it can be done.

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
McGoldrick won't be too concerned cos he'll get himself far better personal terms in 12 months time when he's out of contract. We win too cos he'll have to keep his game at the highest level to keep himself attractive to Premiership Clubs albeit those at the lower level.
Who knows, if we can get ourselves a Jonny Wiiliams type player plus perhaps another striker on loan perhaps we could still be up there ourselves come the end of the season. I certainly haven't given up hope yet.
Keep the faith.

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
Who knows what will happen come the January Transfer window.
We need to get Didsy to sign a new deal before then so if a prem club who are in trouble will sign a very good striker in the championship for 8M+ to save themselves.

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
I don't want to p*ss on anyone's chips but the transfer window hasn't shut yet. I hope and think that McGoldrick isn't leaving, but it's by no means assured yet.

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
Oh come on!! He's an average striker at best - there's no way he's worth 8m and it seems that premiership managers agree with this. Think ME has slipped up here - 5.5m for McGoldrick, I'd have bitten Leicester's hand off especially as we got him for nothing.BLUEBLOOD wrote:Who knows what will happen come the January Transfer window.

Well I'm pretty sure he's not coming to Leicester and I can't imagine there's a long queue of clubs fighting for his signature.
Maybe I'm wrong but I just don't see him being good for the majority of clubs in the Premier League and was amazed even at Leicester's interest.

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
I agree - he has a good first touch, shields the ball well and has a decent shot. But he lacks pace and isn't (in my opinion) a premiership striker. I just think it's a few hours early to assume he's staying.Charnwood wrote:Andym wrote:I don't want to p*ss on anyone's chips but the transfer window hasn't shut yet.

I might add I also thought that Walters would never make it in the prem as his first touch was so poor - I was wrong there....

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
I definitely agree with this, think there may have been a mistake here, as much as I like watching him play, if he doesn't sign a new deal, then that is £5m+ missed out on. He's the best we've had for a long long time, but that really isn't a compliment. I don't see why he'd sign a new deal when he knows prem clubs are interested and he might even spend half the season here crocked. I'd have probably taken Chris Wood in a straight swap.rossi wrote:Oh come on!! He's an average striker at best - there's no way he's worth 8m and it seems that premiership managers agree with this.

I must admit I'm surprised Mr Evans hasn't taken the money, and yes I would really like to have seen Chris Wood at Portman Road, and a straight swap probably wouldn't have been a bad deal. Having said that, as we weren't the chasing club the deal really had to be in our favour not Leicester's, and given Pearsons desperation to see the back of Chris Wood we could and should have done well out of it. Of course all this assumes that Chris Wood would have been happy moving to Ipswich.
With all these if buts and maybe's to sort out, it amazes me that so many clubs leave so much to do on the final day of the transfer window.

Great news he's not going. Let's hope it don't unsettle him too much.

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
Although I would have bitten Leicester's hand off for anything from 6.5 - 8 million for McGoldrick I think it is hats off to Marcus Evans for being the first person in the history of ITFC not to just give a player away for a pittance, something we have done throughout our history.

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
May be slightly off topic, but I am equally delighted that a reported 2.5m bid for the Minger was also turned down. He may not be the same as Cressy, but by the end of the season i believe he could be a better player in many ways. Some of his defending against the Norwich was stunning.

Re: Foxes chase McGoldrick
I really dont believe a bid was ever made. The young LB from Spurs has been at Palace all day sorting out a move. I think this one is nothing more than papertalk.
