Kieffer Moore - SIGNS FOR BOURNEMOUTH. CONFIRMED

[The Lone Gunman]

Surridge seems to have made it to Twitter now.

That will be ironic as he was being held up as an example of a player who was signed for a daft fee in an earlier Kieffer Moore thread.

Seems an odd one as he’s a regular on the Stoke bench and they don’t seem to have signed any other strikers.

he's still pretty young which must boost his fee, certainly ahead of where Kieffer.moore was at the same age.

Michael O'Neill was asked about transfers after the game on Friday night, and said he expected to be busy today.

Surridge wasn't even on the bench.

Bournemouth are also said to be close to a loan deal for Norwich midfielder Todd Cantwell. They’re clearly going for it.

Now there's a player. I don't really understand what Parker sees in Moore. He's obviously not an EPL player. But I suppose at £3.5M, why not?

It’s a gamble worth paying. £3.5m now could help secure a £100m + promotion. If they go up they then loan him back to a championship club

Agree. But it won't be easy to loan him out if he's making £25 grand a week.

I pulled that figure from my arse by the way.

Wales striker Kieffer Moore is leaving Cardiff City for Championship promotion-chasers Bournemouth.

[LeningradCowboy]

At least he can't score against us this season.

[FormerlyJohnnyBreadhead]

Seeing that he hasn't taken up vaccinations, i would say potential buyers may be worried by that

That's a fair point and I wonder if it has put some clubs off, especially given the amount of games he's missed with us. Several clubs - including Man Utd - have said they're factoring this into their recruitment policy from now on so it's not an unreasonable assumption.

Scott Parker getting by on a shoestring budget as ever!

[celticknight]

If Covid Moore has a medical this morning he'll probably fail it.

Cantwell isn't a Premier League player either judging by his (lack of) performances for Norwich this season.

[Nobody's Rep]

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.

Do we know what the cut is for Wigan??

[Dorcus]

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.

I'm not in the least bit concerned if he doesn't start. After his childish sulking this season he can rot on the bench as far as I care.

[Michael Morris]

Bournemouth play Peterborough, Derby and Reading in consecutive games in March. If Kieffer scores the winner in each of those he will have helped more than moping around with us.

[Bobby Dandruff]

According to this source we've accepted a £3.5m bid for him.

Disgustingly low.

Didn't Wolves offer £10m for him at the end of the summer?

That is quite a significant drop in value over a relatively short period of time

We were asking for over £10m and Wolves didn't think that Moore was worth it.

Sky and a few twitter sources are saying £3.5m

BBC and Wales Online are saying £5m

My guess is that Sky are getting their leaks from Bournemouth and BBC/WOL are getting theirs from Cardiff.

Probably complicated by add-ons and the Wigan cut.

[celticknight]

Apparently the fee is £5m if Bournemouth go up.

He's gone from 20 goals in 42 appearances last year to 5 goals in 24, Covid twice and an ankle injury. It doesn't take a huge leap of faith to see why his value dropped.

[ccfcwelshlad]

Be shocked if we let anyone else out of first team squad with amount of games coming up.

not that impressed with either deal this morning tbh

I hope we aren't paying much in loan fees for these deals. it is all very short sighted

Moore wants to go, and he's out of contract in 2023. It's now or never. It's disappointing but what can you do?

Unfortunately, we've dug ourselves into too deep of a hole to be anything other than short-sighted. The mission now is to be out of the bottom three in May. That's it.

I don't know what the long term view on Moore should be though? The short sighted thing would be to keep him, or you could certainly argue that.
