Agreed, the "washed up" line was a little annoying. Moving closer to home and wages were always the issues as far as I remember. But I suppose it's the logical, "face-value" take of a journalist who predominantly covers Prem football.
Apart from that, Wilder's quote stood out "we play better with David in the team". It's hard to think of a single player over the years who had such a transformative role in an Ipswich team. We were quite simply different teams depending on whether he was on the pitch.
Must admit that I've watched a fair number of Sheff Utd games this season just to see him. A goal or two would round off a great season for him and one his ability and team ethic fully deserve. |  |

This:
"Wilder's quote stood out "we play better with David in the team". It's hard to think of a single player over the years who had such a transformative role in an Ipswich team. We were quite simply different teams depending on whether he was on the pitch"
Absolutely this. He was a class act and when he then got injured and dropped out of the team, we were a fraction of the side vs. when he was in it.
Anyone who can't / didn't see this clearly doesn't understand football.
Our player of the decade by an absolute mile. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. |  |

"Merely that McGoldrick is so exceptional that all the other nifty things he does make not hitting the net forgivable. His movement is canny, his technique exquisite, his moxie inspirational. His ball control is magnetic and he is as likely to dupe a defender with a clever pass as he is to blindside a midfielder with a precision challenge."
Try telling that to the posters who didn't rate him. Ignorant fools.
Agree it's harsh to say a player "Ipswich believed to be washed up". That is simply untrue and was not the reason he left. |  |

‘Washed up’ obviously comes with very negative connotations and you’re right that majority of Ipswich fans were in no doubt as to his quality when fit. However, I don’t think there were many Ipswich fans who believed McGoldrick was capable of staying fit for any real length of time, which I guess is what the writer is getting at there
Oh if only 😔 [Post edited 10 Jan 2020 10:48]

Fantastic player, each week I check to see if he's scored. Will be delighted for him when he does.
Is also now my head scout on FM and doing a bang up job. |  |

Beautiful bald man with a lovely beautiful face.
What a player. He has been mega for blades this year. Works so hard and is just very good at football, I really miss him. |  |
