Harris should know what takes to be a successful striker and it seems he wanted Moore when at Millwall.
Could be our man
I'm not sure I'd pay £5 million for Moore, but I don't think we could do better for a proven Championship target man at the price Wigan are willing to sell him for. They paid £3 million for him last summer and he's coming off the back of a season where he has scored twelve times for club and country and yet he's available for almost a million pounds less than that.Originally Posted by Cowbridge Blue
I don't think anyone should think we're signing a twenty goals a season man, but, unless, we got lucky with a lower league punt or had a young loan striker who did a lot better than expected, we're not going to get one of those for less than £10 million. Moore's got decent feet for a big man and no one could call this season's Wigan side a long ball team, so he can adopt to different ways of playing - I'd be looking at one or two more Wigan players if I were City.
Whatever happens in the close season we're not going to move completely away from a direct element to our game. As target men go, with good feet who can hold the ball up well -and at sensible money - and, seems to want to come here, I'd say yes please..
This
and hes also a good age at 27.
He ticks a lot of boxes. A target man who can play, wants to come here (allegedly), knows the league and is affordable (allegedly).
Not the most exciting prospect, but sound.
Sign Kieffer for 2m, and you can always take a punt on someone as well. I'd definitely look at Lowe, Byrne and Morsy. Antonee Robinson would be lovely but he'll go PL.
What we must realize is that Moore is very good at creating chances for others so he would need back up if his move here was successful. Currently I am not sure any of our players fit the bill so we would need further signings. In this current climate, £2M is a good punt
If Etheridge and Day leave, we need a competition for Smithies and David Marshall would certainly do that, Jamal Lowe would be a half decent signing to help provide the ammunition that Kiefer Moore would need, or/and Jed Wallace from Millwall
I'd like to see Sanderson stay but would need another RB as cover
Unless we scour the overseas leagues again and get lucky then there may not be many better options at that price.
As long as he scores more for us than his namesake Ronnie, I think he'll do well.
That falla at Charlton, was knocking them in, but I don't like the fact he wouldn't sign an extension.
No loyalty in football these days
Would you turn down the chance to double your wage to stay working for the same company?
This is his side of the story

Didn't realise he was nearing pensioners age.
it's a no from me.
He's 30, so yes he is in football terms. It will be his last 'big' move.
Out of interest, does loyalty work the other way for you? What about if a club doesn't renew a player's contract?
Joe Williams would be a good signing for midfield
I see Kieran Dowell has already gone to Norwich
Williams, I knew I'd forgotten someone but thought he was on loan. Dowell has gone to Norwich from Everton, which is fair enough!
People that don't see this logic baffle me.
Moore has the highest number of aerial duel wins per 90 in the league. Given our reliance on set pieces he would certainly have something to offer.
(in previous seasons Paterson has been right up there too)
I'm not his biggest fan, nor does he represent the type of football I'd ideally see us play, but for 2 million I wouldn't be opposed to this at all.
For 2m today, it's an absolute steal. He holds the ball up and it bounces off Glatzel.
That's the big negative for me. If we sign him it's a statement we are going to carry on with a direct way of playing which always seems to fail in the EPL and can be mind-numbing to watch.
Is that how you would describe Wigan's play this season - especially since the end of lockdown? I haven't watched much of them - but what I did see I wouldn't have described as totally 'direct' and certainly not mind-numbing to watch. They were a good, balanced and flexible side - able to be direct and to play football. I think that also describes the way Harris wants Cardiff to play - and the past 11 games are evidence of that.
Maybe an Adam Le Fondre type in addition........well maybe not ! But I know what you mean.
