I have a friend who supports Norwich City and she has just told me we've got a quality striker who if he stays fit will score a lot of goals for us.He was well liked at Carrow Road and she reckons we've got a player who can be a fans favourite for us. Let's hope he is the real deal then !
I remember similar things being said when we signed Cody.
Tbf the Norwich manager Lambert never actually rated McDonald and he hardly played, it was more the Norwich fans said he didn't really get a fair chance.
And as bad as McDonald was with us, he isn't a terrible striker in this division.

He has something like 120 goals in 260 odd appearances over his career
Norwich fans seem to know what they are talking about

People are also forgetting how many bang average strikers have scored 15 plus goals in this league over the past three seasons. The standard of this league has dropped significantly in recent years.
Why we need to get out of it, the football is fucking awful to watch.
He is miles better than Cody
Scored 17 league goals for Norwich in the championship and premier. So why has grendel posted he only scored 5 above league 1?

Can answer that one myself.
5.
He has scored 58 goals in professional football and only 5 above League One.
Why don't we all wait and see? There are plenty of examples of players who can play at one team, and not another. From Torres at Chelsea to Lee bastard Hughes when he joined us. In the '80s, Oxford were kept afloat by selling Joey Beuchamp onto clubs he could never play for, then taking him back for peanuts.
Jackson may be a huge success. Equally, he might be a disaster. I saw a frankly astonishing post on GMK in which someone was actually thanking SISU for selling Clarke and Wilson, and replacing them with a just-as-good partnership of Tudgay and Jackson and 'saving money'. The reality being the Clarke-Wilson was the most prolific partnership, when together, in this league. Their replacements may, or may not be able to step up to the plate. Only history can prove the players to be right for us or wrong
But Jackson was good at Gillingham and Norwich. I'm not thanking sisu but if before last season someone said who do you want up front Clarke and Wilson or Jackson and Tudgay, it would be Jackson and Tudgay every day.
I'm not arguing with that, but based on actual performance, playing in this division for Coventry City - Clarke and Wilson are proven. You'd be mad to prefer 'hope' and 'potential' over 'proven'
This site makes me laugh sometimes.
There has been a lot of negativity about our club lately as we all know. Grendel picks people up on this and a lot of the time is backed up by Lord. Grendel even twists the facts sometimes.
Now there is some positivity about it is time for Grendel to not like the positivity and try to bring people down whilst trying to twist the truth. Don't worry Grendel, we all know you are more knowledgeable than us.
2010/2011 13 Championship goals including two hattricks.
2011/2012 3 Premiership goals 2 FA Cup goals.
2012/2013 1 Prem goal 2 cup goals, one of them against Spurs.
2013/2014 2 Championship goals.
Or are we only counting 2 seasons out of four where he has played above our level?
True, cov fans need to stop living in the past however.
Until he comes to us.
Where he'll score 15 plus goals . Cody McDonald isn't a very good striker and has only started scoring at this level now that the standard has dropped, he's not fit to lace Simeon Jackson's boots. I would suggest the only reason he's here is because of a bad career move previously, to a poor German team where the teams awful early season form meant he was out of the team and left momentarily on the football scrap heap. He'll score loads here and be playing in the championship next season (with or without us)

That's like saying before embarking on a season in league 2, "Right instead of Jordan Rhodes and Ross McCormack to fire us up the league I'll have league 2's top scorers". Just wouldn't happen.
