that is daylight robbery
Think it's a little more than speculated but ultimately it's in line with what Wolves were offering so clearly seen as his market value. We rightly rejected that back in the summer but if anything his value has gone backwards.
Is he worth more than that to us, potentially. But he goes into last year of his contract in summer and no suggestion that he'll sign a new one.
I'm more concerned that he's going somewhere where he's unlikely to even start but I guess that's his decision.
it is also ANOTHER senior player that will need to be replaced in the summer. to add to the 10 who are already leaving.
madness to sell unless we have to financially
who can we sign for 3.5m to replace him? even league one players go for more than that. I really can't see the logic of this
I agree, £3.5 mio is a steal and also a shame as it’s good to see Wales’s striker playing for the capital city team . If we want to sign Hugill from Norwich at the end of the season we’ll probably have to pay as much and despite his performance yesterday there’s no way he’s as good a striker as Moore . Makes no sense unless there’s a problem with him being at the club
But on the basis that he hasnt consistently played this season and not hit the form of this year what will his value be in the summer - that's if we can get a tune out of him between now and then - my guess is he would up his game just before the Wales playoffs and we won't see much of him after that
We are in a relegation fight and we need players who are up for that
Doesn’t seem much.
Not sure it’s ideal for wales either as can’t see him being 1st choice.
Kieffer who , he is no Moore in my thoughts , I feel very disappointed and underwhelmed by his attitude towards us , good luck to him . oh I wont be clapping him a red shirt either .
Thankfully we had a number 9 on the pitch yesterday who looked better than him
Surely we can get more than that for him.
Come on Ken Choo, get your car salesman colleagues to haggle the price up for us.
Criminally low fee. We waited 10 years for a striker who could score 20 goals in a season and now we let him go for practically nothing in football terms.
He hasn't been so consistent this season.
Hopefully we have already found a decent replacement for him
At least we are replacing him 👀
This ^^
From feeling pretty euphoric after last night's performance, waking up to this news is like a kick in the teeth.
If he doesn't feel he wants to be here now, a few weeks on the bench should change his mind.
I wasn't too happy with the 5 mil reported last week but 3.5 mil is an absolute steal and if he goes for that then it shows we are not looking much further than the end of this season.
Another way to look at it is that it's a clean slate and a great opportunity for the manager to shape a squad that plays in his image (whether it's Morison or someone else).
One of the big problems we've had in recent seasons is managers being hamstrung with players from previous regimes that can't adapt.
Being linked with Leyton Orient's Harry Smith as a potential replacement.
Probably pay them £3.5m for him!
£3.5m for a player soon to turn 30 who has had one good season in his entire career.
I imagine we have taken a lower amount on the basis that it’s cash up front.
Money received will be the first down payment on the Sala fee so so don’t expect to see any of it spent on a replacement.
we probably have just about enough cover until the summer. it might be a better idea to offer a young foreign striker who is out of contract in the summer a precontract deal now.
although I'm not sure our scouting network have remembered to renew their passports
This has reminded me of the time when we loaned Kenwyne Jones to Bournemouth to help them get promoted.
Essentially, Cardiff City have been the same for most of the existence, selling their best players often for less than their value. We waited more than ten years for a player to score twenty goals in a season for us and we then sell him for a fee which will barely make a profit for us once Wigan have taken their cut - madness.
Market conditions now are totally different, particularly from when we signed Madine but also from when Moore arrived here. To even compare the three scenarios as similar shows a basic lack of understanding as to what has happened in the last two years. If Moore is sold for around the fee quoted (and he hasn't signed yet) then we will have made a reasonable profit at a time when many teams at our level aren’t even in the market and are trying to offload existing players for anything they can get. If Moore wants to sign for a club that has less fans, poorer facilities than we have and has been struggling to maintain a play off place recently, then that's up to him but if they don't get back up this season, then they will struggle to hold onto their better players and their finances will plunge as they go into the final year of parachute payments. FFP will then come into play, as it did a few years ago when they were heavily fined. There is no way a small club like them can run as they are now with their gates and income. They appear to be gambling everything on getting up this season - just like Derby and look where thats got them.
