It’s good to have you come back home, David McGoldrick. Work hard for us and you will win over the majority of fans. You have always been a favourite of mine and I’m glad you are wearing our shirt again. You have the quality and the experience to make a difference for us.

I’m fine with the signing, I do agree there’s a risk but it’s one I now feel is worth taking. He has more than experience to offer, dropping a division should see him get the two years Notts has offered him. Could you imagine how he would terrorise the defenders in this league?

@super_ram what’s the overall reaction from Derby fans, are they sorry to see him go or glad to get rid and what are your thoughts?

I think most fans are sorry to see him go but there are the usual 'fans' who have an attitude that if he isn't a Derby County player then he's rubbish.Some so called fans drive me mad,not just Derby,  but all clubs fans. I've commented elsewhere that I think(My opinion only) that Derby probably only offered him a one year contract,with the hope that we are in the Championship for 2024/25 season.If Derby do get promoted,(a very big if)then Didzy would be 37ish.It's a similar scenario with Rodriguez,if he doesn't sign for Derby, some 'fans' say  'he's not good enough anyway' but if he did sign -draw your own conclusion.The short answer is most fans accept his decision and wish him and Notts well.

This is quite the signing. In my heart of hearts I didn't think it was going to happen, but here he is. Let's hope he fits in well and picks up where he left off last season. 

Welcome home, David McGoldrick. We are absolutely thrilled to have you back with us. You can count on our full support as we know that you will give it your all and put in every effort you can.

We are delighted with the signing and your comments have been fantastic. It is clear that you are dedicated to the team and we are confident that you will make a great contribution. We look forward to seeing you in action.

Welcome back to Meadow Lane, Dave McGoldrick! I hope you stay determined and focused throughout the season and score plenty of goals. If you read PON and my message, I bet you can’t outscore Macca or Cedwyn Scott. ????

Once settled in, Big Dave should be able to prove himself. He scored some good goals for Derby and shone in one of their weakest teams for years despite their hands being tied. I think McGoldrick joining our squad would be similar, but with more confidence and ability behind us.

I believe David McGoldrick should do well. I don’t expect him to score over 20 goals and I think some other fans should lower their expectations, but I believe he will contribute with assists. He’s very much Notts through and through if you watch his interview.

It’s good to see McGoldrick come back. He and Jim O’Brien may retire at the same point. So, there’s room to break the testimonial rules and just honour a friendly in their names if this ends up being the case. Welcome back to Meadow Lane, David.

David McGoldrick seems to have won everyone over. I am pleased he’s back and appreciate what he’s said since his return. He sounds very focused, considering Derby still wanted him. This suggests it should work out for us, but nobody knows when a player’s legs will go. I believe he will be fit enough.

I am pleased David McGoldrick has had the chance to return to Meadow Lane, where he wants to retire. I like these kinds of stories. I am not sure what to make of the stories about him attending games or bumping into Charlie Slater. I think some of this is good PR work but it’s no doubt a coup for us.

 feel we are lucky that David McGoldrick wanted to come back. I think he will have wanted to do this for a while, but it will be good to see how he does over the course of the season. If Notts only gets one year out of him, it’s one year he may have spent with Derby scoring bags of goals. Isn’t it better that he does this for us?
