MORE BREAKING NEWS: Lex Immers has left Cardiff City
“Lex immers has left the club by mutual agreement.
“He’s not been in the plans since i’ve been here in fairness.
“He’s got a lot on his plate, having a baby. It suits both parties, it frees up a wage, he can go and enjoy himself for a time back home.
“We wish him well. I’ve had no trouble with him, he’s just not been able to find the form he had when he first came.
“Just trying to thin it down, get a more sustainable squad. Cover in all areas.”
Neil Warnock
Lex has been a major disappointment this season & was not in Warnock's plans so not surprised to see him move on. Good luck to him for the future :thumbup:
Sounds like we didn't even get a fee for him?
Nope, released.Quote:

He'll go back to Dutch football I suspect. Shame he didn't kick on from last year.Quote:

Real shame that he never rediscovered the form he showed a year ago.
It also moves Emyr Huws up the pecking order.
Pelvis problem?Quote:

A ponderously slow player will poor close control. I think his performances last season were enhanced by the odd goal he poked in, but never good enough for the Championship..
another who looked so good at the start, then just faded to being released
Never seen a player deteriorate so much so quickly
got pregnant ,dutch were always forward thinkers ,Quote:

It's all been said - he was one of our most outstanding players tail end of last season.
I really thought he was going to be a real favourite and potentially a bit of a legend, but he has just tanked instead, for whatever reason.
The guy clearly has something in his locker - good luck to him.

Perhaps opposition coaches have worked out how to exploit those after his bright start to his time here?
YOU try playing while you're pregnantQuote:

Jeez, I expected he might drop down a division, but didn't think he'd end up playing non-league footballQuote:

Pretty sure from the Daily Records article that City will receive something. Whist I doubt Cardiff ever paid £2m, I would expect some fee for him.
BBC report states that Warnock said he was one of our higher earners. Who the hell was doing the deals last summer. The so called 'transfer committee' appear not to have a clue. High earner and gone after 6 months!

Shame really as he did look like a player for a short period back end of last year, though he probably had to go in order for NW others in.
Agree that he did look like he had gone backwards but how much of that could be down to poor man management?
Could be other factors such as playing in a particular style, not to the players strengths, playing out of position, not being match fit.
Anyway, our loss is another's gain and I hope Lex does well wherever he ends up (as long as it isn't Brizzle City or Leeds :thumbup:)
Wasn't capped then.Quote:

For £2m.......... Not a chance in hell. Crazy business by the numpties who continue to run our clubQuote:

I would also expect the fee was related to appearances which isn't going to happen now
We are an embarrassment tbh. I think we will end up releasing most of the players we signed on in aug?Quote:

Write the club a letter or something.
Keith has mentioned on **** that the fee was £500k.Quote:

The club has made profits on transfer fees for the last few seasons.
At least with Immers we've cut our losses and not kept him here paying wages when it was clear it wasn't working out
Gone to Club Brugge, good luck Lex!
