What would be the point. He could score in every reserve game, set league one alight while on loan, be hungry to be a success and still not get a place in the first team.

[cite]Posted By: covered end junior[/cite]Dartford striker Cody McDonald is having a medical and discussing personal terms at Norwich according too sky sports.
Norwich ..... ?
Why is Pardew the new manager there .....???
He went off injured yesterday. Good close game that the Darts just shaded, McDonald lively but well marked. Difficult to say how far he can go, but a good strike rate at that level.
I was working with him doing Scaffolding just over a year and half ago. Wasnt at Dartford then but seemed to have gone from strength to strength. Nice enough bloke hope it all goes well for him.
just reading various pieces on Cody. Seems a decent lad, feet on the floor, been working as a scaffolder, had twins over Xmas. Good luck to him, hope he comes good and has a decent career in football. People like him and Andy Hunt who have had to work for a living and have gone into the pro game late seem to be a lot more rounded as a person and appreciate it more, rags to riches as it were.
Just spoken to a Dartford Player (not going to reveal his name) he went for anything upto £80k, with add ons etc etc, apparently going to earn take home, £1200 per week, without bonuses, appearance money or goal money, so not bad for the young un.
Apparently Gunn scouted him himself some months ago when that was his role at the club, and when he became manager he persude him based on that.
It always fascinates (and sometimes irritates) me how talented local players are spotted by clubs that are some distance away. There have been loads of local players, who would have been good signings for us, who have done well at other clubs. The Wallace brothers, Andy Townsend, Warren Barton just to name a few. I really hope Cody does well, but it will be another irritating one if he does.
