Re: Gary Madine Bid Reported As Being Accepted On Twitter
Come from one source that is not verified so do not take it as gospel.
Very underwhelmed, like other City fans. Only good thing is we play Bolton in a couple of weeks and he is bound to score if he does sign.

Could do well for us. Not so grainy YouTube footage shows him scoring the type of goals that Zohore doesn’t. And he can head the bloody ball!! He’ll do for me.

Didn't score many goals towards the end of 2014.

10 goals in 88 Championship appearances in his career. £6m doesn't get you a lot these days.

Re: Gary Madine Bid Reported As Being Accepted On Twitter
yes a lot of outlets reporting it probably the same source ,gosh hope we go this right ,seems we had no where else to turn though ,if we wanted a striker in :
http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Foo...p/Cardiff+City
Cardiff City have agreed a fee rising to £6million :yikes::yikes:for Bolton Wanderers striker Gary Madine, HITC Sport understands.
Cardiff have been chasing Madine throughout this month's transfer window and saw their opening two bids rejected by Bolton.
However, with the transfer window set to close on Wednesday Cardiff have come back with an improved offer which could rise to £6million and Bolton have reluctantly accepted it.

The final £4 million is due when we win the Champions League.

Re: Gary Madine Bid Reported As Being Accepted On Twitter
What a ****ing disgraceful misuse of funds if this is true. This is peak Cardiff City. Just don't ****ing bother if no one realistic is available. His goalscoring record, or inherent severe lack of, is laughable. We've already got one striker who can hold up the ball and not score, why exactly do we need two? ****ing laughable, Warnock has got desperate here.

I take it you’re not happy about this one then?

Re: Gary Madine Bid Reported As Being Accepted On Twitter
We wouldn't be paying anywhere near £6m if this happened!! A chunk would be based on promotion and a chunk on goals, even then I'm not convinced we would be paying a final fee of anywhere near £6m!
Our initial bid was for less than a quarter of the £6m mentioned.

I don’t expect Messi mate but 6m for Gary Madine?!?! He’s no better than what we’ve got in reserve.

Desperation stage now though. I’d rather go with what we’ve got.

He's scored more goals this season than any of our strikers.

I'm inclined to agree. Even if he performs well for us I think we need more than just him through the door.
If he's the right man for another season in the championship then maybe but it's a fair outlay.
I just hope it's not a desperation signing just because we need someone in but one thing looks certain, if we don't sign anyone, we ain't going nowhere.

We would go with what we've got, rather than spend £6m on Gary Madine.
Remember when everyone was saying the Tomlin fee was in excess of £3.5m!! It's just pure paper talk.
If this does happen, (I was still under the impression there were multiple targets yesterday evening and usual things were being prepped for all targets) then a fee will be banded about by BWFC to appease their supporters. We've not got £6m to spend on anyone.

Have faith in Warnock! In Neil we trust. IF we do sign Madine, and his goals keep us in the top 6, then we will all be happy :thumbup:

Re: Gary Madine Bid Reported As Being Accepted On Twitter
Surely not £6m for Madine, when I heard supposedly a bid had been accepted I was thinking £2m to £2.5m - (on the basis that we are supposed to have had a risen bid of £1.5m turned down earlier).
I see some people may not welcome Madine as being any good - to me I think he'd be a welcome addition - looks to me in the Peter Thorne mould and may quite well be a good fit for his hat if he tried it on. I think he'd get a healthy amount of goals sharing the front line ideally with another striker who instead would be getting the lions share of the goals. As we look, not lop sided, but bottom heavy in terms of being a team of midfielders as I see it the team is crying out for a credible front line as a focal point to make it feel like a real team with equilibrium. With proper strikers brimming with danger for the opposition, we'd have something we haven't had since before Slade - a team not just relying on one sole striker with a lot on his shoulders, or a midfielder put up front trying his best to be a striker. Would pay off in how the fanbase feels about the club.

Agree. We often find people writing off signings before they’ve kicked a ball nowadays. Goal scoring strikers are notoriously hard to come by in January. He’s got ten so far this season, if he gets another ten it will have been money well spent. Give the lad a chance. Also I suspect the £6m is bullshit.

Re: Gary Madine Bid Reported As Being Accepted On Twitter
£6m got to be rubbish we would’ve got Grabban for that, even less I’d say with enough to pay his wages.

600K per goal :yikes: it's obscene..... but I agree it could well be money well spent, provided he doesn't score them all in two games :biggrin:

Re: Gary Madine Bid Reported As Being Accepted On Twitter
The 6m is a load of shite. A lot of it would be add ons .
Bolton fans have to be kept happy.

Re: Gary Madine Bid Reported As Being Accepted On Twitter
I'd prefer Corn Dog back
In our promotion year we got fraizer campbell in the winter and that pushed us on. Will this do the same?. Hmmm. Hopefully.

Oh well done. At the age of 27 he finally manages a season where he gets into double figures in the league to add to his usual 9,8,6,4,2 that he gets in previous seasons.
Hes also played a lot more games than all of our strikers, and he takes the pens, something he wont do here if Joe Ralls is on the pitch.
It will be an uninspiring signing no matter what positive spin the "In Warnock We Trust" gang put on it.

Re: Gary Madine Bid Reported As Being Accepted On Twitter
So, what are some people on here going to do - boo him when he comes on for his home debut ?. He is big/strong and good in the air. He has also improved greatly in the last two years. Just what we need to take the pressure off Zohore.

You have to question Warnock's use of funds. Tomlin was the marquee signing in the summer. Ward cost a million. Now £6m for a goal scoring record that isn't great, and a previous history that would make any sane employer think twice.
I'd be worried.

I agree, Warnock has been great but his transfers have shown he may be a bit past it and not a manager with a long term vision at all.

What about Hoilett, Bamba, Etheridge, Mendez-Laing, Paterson and Damour? I'd say they've all turned out OK.

Excuse me but where exactly where were we before he came in ?. If it hadnt been for him we would be languishing in division one now. Our net spend last summer was £1.5m. How much did Wolves, Villa, Derby, Middlesborough and Leeds spend ?. He has performed miracles and we are currently 4th in Championship with a game in hand, whereas most people were predicting a mid table finish at best. The only signing that hasn't performed is Tomlin, for reasons beyond NW's control. What about Bamba, NML, Patterson, Damour, Etheridge and Hoilett ?. Your post is absolute *******s, as is the one before it.

Warnock is being compared to Dai the Chapel builder.

Ward is injured, which is clearly Warnock's fault. Tomlin is Tomlin, but he's not the first and won't be the last manager to take a chance of someone like him.

There's no way in hell we paid £6 million.
