Has anyone said they hate Gary Madine? I haven't seen or heard that anywhere.

Based on what we have seen of him so far in a Cardiff shirt, and looking at his career to date (although he is not the same player he was 6 years ago) I think it is unlikely he will be a success in the Premier League.

However, he does have his strengths and qualities. He is a brave target man and will occupy centre halves. He will draw fouls and hopefully create space for other attacking players. I doubt he will score many goals but he may be fairly effective if he is able to become more confident in himself and we play to his strengths.

If the quote from Warnock is reliable that he sees Madine as one of four first team strikers (with Zohore, Ward and a new signing) I will support him 100%. But I'm not enthusiastic or confident and I would feel better with an upgrade.
