Gavin Whyte - did he cost 2.2m?

[bigjoe]

Looking at NW's transfer record, did we really spend 2m pounds on Gavin Whyte?
The site shows a rather impressive 150m career total or just short of 20m/promotion (if you're a NW critic). Wonder how much he spent while not in the top league.

Yes. Warnock’s business last summer was horrendous.

Whyte Flint Glatzel Vassell Pack.

What a window.

Yes. Warnock’s business last summer was horrendous.

With hindsight, it was also horrendous when going into the premier league. £20 plus million on Murphy and Reid who have contributed so little here could have been spent better.

Cardiff City paid Oxford United £1.98m for Gavin Whyte
Brentford paid Oxford United £675k for Tariqe Fosu-Henry

Reid at least has proven himself to be a competent Premier League player for Fulham, six goals this season

Terrible.

I don't think Reid was a bad signing but signing him and then not using him was just stupid.

Agreed. Shocking.

I see the theory behind both signings but were so far out of Warnock's style that he didn't seem to trust them and therefore for us both have been very expensive bench options. Was there a player like Mitrovic out there who had a better first touch and better movement than Patterson/more consistent than Zohore who could have produced more for similar money or maybe even less?

I still don't think he's that good !!!!!! I for one wouldn't buy him again

Re: Gavin Whyte - did he cost 2.2m?

Whyte would have been ok if we had a quicker midfield for an additional outlet. It’s my biggest bugbear of Cardiff is it’s midfield pace. Also crossing the ball directly to Glatzel is pointless he’s not quick nor strong enough. He’s not a target man and he’s not a on the shoulder into the channels man either. I’ve seen him for the last 2 games run the channels, and the odd occasions he gets onto the ball he’s on the 18 yard line with no one to pass to as they’re so slow. Needs to be played with Moore or as a false 9.

That’s going off topic but I don’t see Whyte slotting in any roles with his attributes

Either we lost sight of who we were as a club (athletic bully boys) or we’ve tried to transition to a different style and got cold feet when it got rocky.

Either way we’re looking poor and somewhat directionless

Hope Harris’ signings work out but let’s be honest, in this league they are cheap gambles so if he’s got to make diamonds out of coal.

What makes it worse is the fees paid.

Circa £17m for that lot. They are not cheap punts

Mitrovic was £22m.

He was never in our price range

Was anyone out there like Mitro for less? Always, but it’s generally a gamble.

Pack is decent player. The rest of them are garbage.
