Thread: Manga on his way

    All of it.

    Bruno leaving. £3m fee. Flint probably arriving (after his last season flop).
    Yet2 seasons ago he was rated by many as the best centre half in the division.

    Happy to see him come, just worried about balance.

    We will be a massive threat at set pieces but could suffer against the quicker sides.

    Bruno was 31 on Tuesday, I think £3 million for a defender of that age who has played almost exclusively as a Championship player in this country with a year left on his deal is bad - my concern is that all of our centrebacks will have a samey type look to them if we do sign Flint (he's 30 as well, so I'd be very reluctant to pay much more than what we're supposedly getting for Bruno).
    Did you mean to type.."isn't bad"?

    £3million is very cheap for him
    Probably save a bundle on his wages , I'm guessing he is one of the higher paid players ,I seem to remember he was on about going some time ago, its was nip and tuck ,but he signed a new contract in the end, bet there was a cheap sell on clause built in and a whooooooooping pau rise , sot eh deal is worth it for us i'm guessing

    I didn't realise Warnock got that close with new signings, is a full examination part of the medical?

    Interesting that the club website doesn't even list Connolly in the First Team Squad: https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/teams/first-team/

    Peltier (Cox, Jazz)
    Morrison (Bamba)
    Flint (Nelson)
    Bennett (Cunningham)

    Very strong defensive unit for the Championship, if lacking a bit of pace. Boro conceeded the least amount of goals in the Championship last season - how much of that was due to Pulis, rather than Flint, I don't know.

    Sad to see Manga go but again its a transfer I get as he's in the last year of his contract

    Thought he dug us out of a lot of bother time and again last season and sometimes looked like the only defender in our team who could handle quick pass and move from the opposition. Hopefully there won't be too much of that this season and Flint will fit into our sit deep tactics and get the ball out wide quickly.

    That is true. We often have short memories but I recall taking a while to warm to Morrison.

    Is it wrong that I don’t particularly like Flint because he has a flash number on his car? 😯 (I’m sure that I’ll get past it if we sign him though!)

    He does seem like a Warnock type of player from my recollection of him.

    This report claims the fee (to Dijon not Guingamp) is just 2 million Euros:

    And only £3m. Better to keep him at that valuation.
    There has to be more to it.

    Re: Manga on his way

    He's benefited from having his two best seasons as the most recent in memory, and being the most capable CB at premier league level, but over a 5 year period I do not think he's played up to being a £5million pound player. A good player but not a "great servant" as some twitter tributes are suggesting.

    Doesn't "bad" mean "good" these days tho bro Inni

    Re: Manga on his way

    3 mil is nothing these days and he would be a good very acquisition at that price.

    As has already been said though, a year left and he's a high earner. What we may be lacking in transfer fee we'd save on wages.

    Difficult role at RB last season but some top performances at CB, his natural position.

    Thanks Bruno and best wishes

    Confirmed on Dijon’s Twitter, good luck Bruno!

    Why do you think Manga is a high earner? What evidence is there for that?

    Well I haven't seen his pay slip but my guess is that his replacement will command a lesser wage.
    I also think that he performs better at a high level.

    Have you got an opinion on it one way or another?

    Edit: I see there is evidence above, posted the other day too.

    Manga signed from a mediocre French club while City were in the Championship, he spent most of his time here in the Championship and he's moving to a club who get crowds of around 12,000 and narrowly avoided relegation last season.

    I'd be amazed if Manga is a 'high earner', but if he is then it goes to show that persistent claims of the club now being well-run are somewhat wide of the mark.

    Yes, see above.

    I'd have thought Flint would be earning more right now.

    Have you any evidence that might back up that statement?

    It's not a statement, it's an opinion.
