Not surprising seeing as their manager is the ex Iceland manager that took them to the Euros and World Cup.
Big pay off. Can’t blame him.
Has had a decent season when I for one doubted he could do it at this level.
At least we know where we stand now and can look to replace him.
I’d expect he’s on a pretty decent wage.
Good luck to Gunnar and thank you - he's been a great servant of Cardiff City.
Agreed all the best Gunnar:thumbup:Quote:

Absolutely gutted. Irreplaceable, the team's true captain, a player who is incapable of anything less than 110%. Our best player since his signing, as controversial as that opinion will be.
Shame really but can't blame him. Have been really impressed with his recent performances and has justified his selection ahead of Ralls.
Guess we'll be looking for a few midfielders in the summer.
you'd hope so but it was obvious we needed a right back as soon as we all left for the pub after Reading last season but here we are are nearly a year later still relying on Peltier (who to be fair was excellent against London FC)Quote:

At least those in row Z of the Canton and Grange End will feel a bit safer as he won't be shooting at them next season.
If he's not playing for us, I'd rather him be in a league where there's no chance of facing him!
Might still have the threat of being taken out by a Harry Artur effort mind 😂Quote:

I will wish Gunnarsson well, but I would like us to find a midfielder with better passing ability than him, that way we might retain possession a bit better.
Your memory is obviously better than mine..Quote:

It's not like we haven't won without him this season....... Oh wait.......Quote:

An eye for a pass (if the technique is somewhat lacking) such as that for Reid Vs Bournemouth, and the exact mental attitude we need. As fans we say as long as the players give 100% every time, we're happy, they can't do anymore. He's possibly the only player I've known to truly give 100 every single minute of every game, he's the one who's incapable of giving less. Yeah I think he's pretty irreplaceable
Of course he's replaceableQuote:

His body has taking a battering in our name.
Good luck to him ,he always put a shift in, never let us down ,we always looked solid when he played.
Thanks Aron ( our Icelandic warrior)
First few seasons he didn't look capable but has had some excellent seasons with us.
Forest last season in the run inQuote:

Good luck to him, and good move for both him and the club. Lets hope he is replace with someone with more than 70% pass rate.
Thanks, Gunnar! He's nearly going to get 300 appearances for the club, and he's given us 8 years of loyal service.
Scored some big goals, Forest last season, Wolves this spring to mind and he leaves it all on the pitch. He even got 8 in 12-13 during our last promotion. Sorry to see him go, we've still not won a game without him.
So, that's one goal this season and one goal last season. As I suggested, a good memory is required.Quote:

Let's hope we can find another of similar ilk.
They were huge goals, which is what the original point was. I know you don't rate him but you don't have to be an arse about it.Quote:

I wished him well and said his last game was one of the best I'd seen him play, other than that, I was trying to be subjective.
He's scored more goals for us in the League than any of our current players. I was think of the one v Man City , first game 2013/14, last season at home to Forest, and this season v Wolves.Quote:

While its a great pay day, surely he isnt at that stage of his career yet, playing in some tinpot Qatar league that players head to for a final payday contract
I notice Bony is in the team
