You are apparently paying his wages too but it’s a fair deal for a top end Championship player.Originally Posted by Hilts

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
Yeah around £4m permanent fair price. Id have been happy with that.
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.
No chance. Top end Championship players go for a lot more than that. Just look at what West Ham are paying for Benarahma.
Think he will be perfect playing off just behind big Kieffer Moore 👍
I’m taking it as he’s not quite as connected as he once was, which’d be a shame
Done deal
Should keep us away from the relegation trap door...🤗🤗
Hell of a statement by the club. So happy with this.
BLOODY HELL.....
Buzzing with this - great signing , finally some ambition from the board. Would love another attacker in
I just can’t get exited until it’s confirmed. There are a lot of clubs on the drive from Liverpool to Cardiff

Don't think we needed a 3rd thread to talk about Wilson signing.
Just been confirmed on BBC News 👌
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.
He's worth at least 12m to Burnley, we've paid a 10th of that. We don't get any resale value but we get a terrific player and apparently we have first option to sign him if we go up. I mean, we won't go up but still. It is a tremendously exciting deal, he got 15 in 41 for Derby. Nice to have another welsh player, too.
Isaac Vassell, 3m fee, 1m a year wages and he will have played about 10 minutes.
Amazed stoke didn’t try and kidnap him as he passed the dump.....
Yep. Would have been very happy if Reading had signed him on this deal. He is earning more than I thought but you will only be paying his wages for about 28 weeks so circa £1.7 million.
I agree, doubt it though. Apprantly we are paying all of wilsons 60k a week wage!!!!!!!!!!!!Woodrow
I thought the 1.2m was an odd figure but with those wages, I think it's probably 3m all in then!
