Cost us a transfer fee of around £2m (& a significant amount in wages) & we got 3 goals in return, very poor value for money!
Thank f--k for that I say. Now watch him score against next season.

Another OGS legend moves on when will this end .
At least its saved us £75k in wages make that £92,600
No £25k a week, 26 days left on his contract when he signed for Bolton.
Multiply £25k by 52 divide by 365, x 26 = £92600
Sorry to be so pedantic
No, he has officially signed for Bolton, city gave him a free transfer, therefore no more wages for him from when he signed for Bolton
Why would Bolton pay Cardiff £92,600 when they don't need to? He was always going to sign for them. I seriously doubt anyone else was chasing his signature (certainly not in the Championship). Aren't most signings of players whose contracts end on 30 June and announced in May or June done with effect from 1st July? You may be right but it makes no sense to me - especially for a club still under a transfer embargo and careful of every penny.
Thanks for everything Adam, I still fondly remember that time you........
Doesn't 'giving a free transfer' mean paying off the rest of the contract? Or at least coming to an agreement about it.
I'd be surprised if any modern footballer, who is still entitled to getting on for £100k from his old club under the terms of the contract he had there, would voluntarily waive such a sum - I would have thought that he would be getting at least a portion of that money under the terms of the deal that allowed him to leave a few weeks early.
