Re: Max Watters
I can count the number of successful buys from league 1 and below in the last 5 years on one hand

Etheridge
Nelson
Kieffer Moore (Barnsley to Wigan)
Ollie Watkins
That's 5, 3 directly involved us, another is our player and Watkins has 6 PL goals. You must have more fingers than Anne of Cleeves as I haven't tried very hard and I've rattled off these almost instantly.Comment

Re: Max Watters
Yeah that's absolutely true Eric. You're right to point that out.Originally posted by Eric the Half a Bee View Post
Unfortunately it was his expensive buys which were rubbish .
I don't want to list them because I don't like to knock players but I can't help saying Gary Madine!!! There were plenty of others too, and really you can't help thinking that for the millions he paid we should be a fantastic team.
On the whole we shouldn't be dipping into the lower leagues for first team bargains , although we should certainly be bringing guys like this one in and bringing them on. He might be a revelation and I think in his case that's possible , but he might be ruined if he's dropped straight in the deep end against much quicker defenders because that'd ruin his confidence.
Actually I think that happened to Gavin Whyte a bit , while it had the opposite effect on Curtis Nelson, who'd been his team mate.
Mind you, I don't want or mean to be negative about this boy.Comment

Re: Max Watters
NML, Etheridge and Nelson have all been successes. Vassell, Flint, Vaulks, Murphy, Reid, Cunningham and many more have not. We've spent 2m on players from League One and below and we've got one dud. We've spent about £50m on the others and maybe 2/3 good players?Originally posted by WJ99mobile View PostComment

Re: Max Watters - SIGNING CONFIRMED
After putting pen to paper at Cardiff City Stadium, Max said: "When I first found out about Cardiff's interest I was immediately attracted to it. Wales is a lovely place to live, so it came down to that really.
"As a striker, you've got to score goals, and that's what I'm here to do.
"It's a big game at home against QPR in midweek. It's a shame that fans can't be here so I can play in front of them. Hopefully I'm involved and hopefully we can get the win."
Didn't go to Beddau obviouslyComment

Re: Max Watters - SIGNING CONFIRMED
Tan backs his manager yet again despite his knockers! Let’s hope he’s better than our last Managers signed Striker’s, Madine 6m, Ward 2m, Whyte 2m, Murphy £11m, Reid10m, Bogle 1m, Glatzel 6m, and of course the unfortunate Sala 15m that’s an astonishing £53m on front men alone and none established themselves as regulars in our team! Harris has signed Moore2m and Watters 1m, just £3m and Moore has already proved to be our best striker since Boothroyd! let’s hope our new signing is our new Chopra!Comment

Re: Max Watters - SIGNING CONFIRMED
According to Rob Phillips, there are likely to be others coming in. I think anybody wanting Harris to go in the near future will be disappointed.Comment
