Town Confirm McGoldrick Loan
Friday, 4th Jan 2013 12:45

Town have confirmed that David McGoldrick has joined the Blues on loan from Nottingham Forest until the end of the season with a view to a permanent deal. In November, TWTD reported that Blues boss Mick McCarthy and assistant Terry Connor watched the striker in action for Coventry at Colchester.

McGoldrick, who has been handed the number 16 shirt at Town, spent the first half of the season on loan with the Sky Blues, scoring 17 goals in 24 starts and one sub appearance.

Asked about the 25-year-old as an alternative to DJ Campbell, who has returned to parent club QPR and will feature in the FA Cup for them tomorrow, last week, manager Mick McCarthy said: “He’s scored a few goals for Coventry on loan and we’ve been looking all over the place. But I wouldn’t tell you my targets, you know that.”

McGoldrick started his career with Notts County but moved to Southampton when still a 16-year-old, having already broken into the Magpies' first team.

The 6ft 1in tall pacey frontman, who spent tim eback at Meadow Lane and at Port Vale and Bournemouth on loan while a Saint, was on the losing side as Town won the 2005 FA Youth Cup.

He joined Forest in 2009 for £1 million, signing a four-year deal, and since then has been on loan at Sheffield Wednesday and then Coventry.

The Blues are also being linked with Hull City striker Aaron Mclean.

Just shows that if you target players playing at a lower level, then there's a better chance of sorting a deal for them.

Still wouldn't rule out a DJC return. McG and DJC partnership up front could be awesome.

Now for a midfield player who can provide some decent service.

Why isn't he playing for Forest? Well, why isn't DJ playing for QPR? Both clubs missed the potential of players playing in the right team. I think this is a very good signing for us.

Great work mick mc, no messing about. He must have been waiting for January with excitement to add to the squad and starting making it his own. Bringing out the best in what we have and adding to it. Progress me thinks! Coyb

Coventry is the nearest team to me and their fans are really gutted to lose him. As a few have said he's bang in form too

This could be a great signing, he,s only 25, has bags of potential, could work out long term if his loan deal is succesful. Just need to supply enough ammo from midfield, but i,m sure MM & TC have some irons in the fire for that too. COYB,s.

Finally the words "with a view to a permanent deal".
We are now fully into the reign of super Mick.

This is the way I like it, no fuss or speculation, just bang, another player in.

Sounds like we've picked up a player in a rich vein of form who's rediscovered his potential. Sounds like it never worked/he was never given a chance at Forest...and on a free if we want him! A win-win, surely?!

WHOA!..only just found out about this double signing..Mick certainly knows how to get things done on the quiet..welcome both,now fire us up the table please.

Can't see DJC coming back now or there being much of a future for Chopra & Scotland.
