I'm hoping that his last few Wales performances have been down to a lack of game time so far this season rather than a lack of quality. When he's had regular games under his bet at this level he's been quality and the exact thing that we've been missing, I'm looking forward to this coming off.Originally Posted by the other bob wilson
Id be pissed off if we pay any sort of loan fee to them. They can feck off.
I’m taking it as he’s not quite as connected as he once was, which’d be a shame
Done deal
Let's hope were picking up a lad with the right attitude and desire to play for us, he won't come cheap, I do wonder with his talent why it hasn't sparked interest elsewhere for his signature.??
I disagree with these loan fees but accepting they are inevitable these days it is pretty reasonable.
Odds of 1/5 would suggest it's more than likely.

Cmon Bluebirds- make my day.
Dunno how reliable this site is, but it's saying Wilson is in Cardiff for a medical.

Paul Joyce saying it’s done, so it’s done.
We are interested in him too but seeing the same as you. Cardiff medical. A very good loan signing and the loan fee is fair
I wonder if it's a case of staying in the game until deadline day, at which point the fee might be different
It's going to take him a month or two to get up to speed but a very good player at championship level with still room to grow if we get an unlikely promotion.
We're told we're looking at two players and could still end up with no one. Trouble is, I think we're two players away from being as good as last year when, despite finishing fifth, we squeezed into the play-offs. Are the standards of last year good enough to get back into play-offs this year?
I think we are a side that could finish anywhere between 5th and 22nd.
James Pearce in the Athletic saying we've paid £1m and are covering his wages. I'm very excited though, he's a Premier League talent.

This dubious link suggests he's on 60k - I can't imagine we'd be prepared to pay that much.
It's probably not correct though is it?
Sky Sports breaking news headline is Liverpool agree 1.2m loan move with Cardiff.
You are apparently paying his wages too but it’s a fair deal for a top end Championship player.
I'm tired of worrying or thinking too much in terms of the clubs finances, do enough of that balancing at home. So as a supporter of Cardiff City I think that would be a terrific signing, just what we need.
One of the most exciting signings we've had in a while if it comes off.
Dont agree. Ridiculous paying that sort of loan fee.
imagine we'd signed him on a 3 year contract, for 3 times that loan fee, nobody would be complaining then?
the only thing we don't get is any resale value, but that doesn't seem to have been much of a consideration in many of our signings over the past 5 years
We paid £3 million for Vydra on loan for a season a few years ago. Liverpool value Wilson at £15 million plus having turned down a £12 million bid from Burnley. I think this is a very decent deal for Cardiff and would have felt that way if Reading had signed him. He is worth the loan fee.
It compares favourably to other deals in recent years.
Take Flint for example...
Signed for £4m in the summer of 2019 on a 3 year contract. £1m/year salary cost. So total cost £7m... £2.3m a year.
Total cost of Wilson deal £1.2m plus 7 months salary...£2.3m?!
One gives us a chance at promotion, the other doesn't.
Isaac Vassell, 3m fee, 1m a year wages and he will have played about 10 minutes.
