Maybe a loan for a month to league 2 or Yeovil. Then he hits the ground running in Jan if DMC goes
When was he sharp? Everytime i've seen him play he has been slow, no movement and never hits the ball with enough power...Best goal he has ever scored was against Birmingham in the cup, only moment he has every looked sharp..But then again that was the only time this season the whole team has performed.
Correct. McDonald has done nothing to earn the praise he constantly gets. He is at a stage in his career where he should have 200 plus games under his belt at League level. He is well short of that.
The modern game demands that all players contribute in areas such as closing players down, tracking back, looking comfortable with back to goal and outside the penalty area. McDonald does none of this. If he does not score it is a 3 out of 10 performance guaranteed.
His ball control is poor and worryingly his goals per shots ratio is not great either.
The modern game would never have a Mick Quinn in the team whatever his merits and McDonald is nowhere near that level. I hope he goes in January.

I agree duffy,he's been a total waste of money,money that could of been spent elsewhere.
And without wanting to bleat on about ALF, you could see when we played Reading that he contributed quite a bit with his back to goal and in the build up play.
How much did we spend? 300K?
The reason why people give him so much praise is probably because they still believe the claims that we could get 30+ goals in this league. Norwich probably couldn't believe their luck when we signed him.
Why the comparison to Le Fondre? He was about as likely to come here as Malaga going to that Premier League club that wanted to sign him.
The reason for the comparison is he was signed from a league two club, the league where Cody outscored him the previous season in the exact same transfer window we signed Cody
One is now playing Premier League Football the other is warming the bench for a league one club sitting in the relegation zone...
Their fans were dissapointed to lose him.........
