Great news. dml can now slag him off without compromising his loyalty to the club.
Great way to spend £6m
Gary Madine, Goal machine.
**** me, paying £6 million for someone then giving them away for free! Are we the only club that consistently does this?
YesOriginally Posted by Croesy Blue
Thanks for the memories Gary
Spend £6m on him only for him not to score for us before releasing him on a free
How long did Tan go on about Cornelius for?
No doubt we'd have paid up a fair chunk of his contract (rightly so) for him to do one. Absolute catastrophic bit of business. He is shit, how the hell did we end up paying 6 million for a player who didn't show anything while he was here, Tan needs to go through Warnock's work phone...
Wonder who Warnock will blame for this? Madine was never a £6 million player and it wasn't his fault we paid that much for him - I'm sure some other clubs cancel the contracts of expensive players at a big financial loss like we do, but don't ask me to name them.
Who was his agent?
Madine's signing may be a symptom but the reason we were so bad in the transfer market was lack of scouting to reduce pool of players we were shopping in, lack of youth development so we were reliant on signings, and being desperate for a buy to complete a good season which meant we were in a weaker negotiating position.
How many of those three things have changed under Harris so far? Unless we use the cash from premier league wisely we'll end up with similar threads in a couple of years, although not for £6million again for some time.
wasnt that pool a rather specific pool of players though ? ? ?
Maybe Tan should invest in youth then, he can never find a decent manager, he hates agents and Cardiff/South Wales has plenty of young talent not getting found. No brainer
I said when we bought him he wasn't good enough for us, how can I see that but a professional football club can't and spend £6 million on him. Warnock wasted more money than Malky ever did.
It's not hindsight but I also said the same at the time. One of my best friends is a Bolton season ticket holder and he said at the time that he couldn't believe we had paid £6mio for Madine - a more realistic fee would have been £1mio, maybe £2mio as he was on a scoring streak at the time but we all knew this was just one of those strange hot spells any useless striker can go through for a short period, he had been pretty useless for a number of seasons before then
Can't wait until the first mention of assist against Sheffield United.
Lol!
I was going to say that. ;-)
Am I missing something. He was our second best striking option even if he didn’t score any goals
Totally baffled
He can't do anything, he offers nothing. I'd put pattersson up front before him.
How is that possible? Ward and Glatzel at least score for us on occasion, so they're above him. Bogle has at least looked like he could score a goal for us (and has hit the back of the net this season) so he's above him. Paterson is a better shout as a striker than Madine. Vassell has been injured for pretty much the entirety of the season and has still contributed more than Madine has in his 2 years here... so he's above him too.
£6m down the drain. How they didn't at least try to get a nominal fee for him baffles me. It's starting to reek of the Slade era a bit too much now.
The assist v Sheff Utd makes it all worth it. May not have got promoted without it.😂
Bizarre.
So for those who were wondering what we might get for him: now you know.
That will cement his place in Cardiff City folklore then as, statistically, our worst ever striker.
18 months left on his contract. I wonder how much we've paid him to leave the club.
I was about to type that he's the worst value for money signing in the clubs history...
and then I remembered...
Cornelius!
