It’s all a matter of fitness but if we can get him fit he is way above Championship standard.

This is the standard of player you sometimes take a gamble on rather than Macheda, Lambert, etc.

You’d need a miracle to get him fit.

Worse then Robbie Fowler


You’re probably right but if it’s pay per play or even 6 months with an extension clause in our favour I’d definitely take him.


I agree don't know if it's true but pay as u play would be good I think. Put a £1 coin slot on him like the buy as u view tv's used to have :lol:

And that final sentence should be signalling massive alarm bells.

All this talk of pay as you play deals has any player actually signed one?

Almost every football is on one. "Appearance bonus"

Basically if he wants 20K arguments sake, you offer 5K with 15K appearance. It's down to him if he feels his fitness is there.

Appearance bonuses aren’t pay as you play.

Michael Owen at Manu the only one I can think of

I may be wrong but, didn't we sign Ratcliffe on a pay as you play deal?? Or someone from that era?? Doesn't really matter, just trying to remember any of these kind of deals. :bluebird:

Well if true i hope he isnt the only striker we are signing because he is not reliable.

How many former Wurzels are we going to have in the squad? :o :o

If Etheridge leaves maybe we should look at Basso?

Absolutely ridiculous signing.

He needs to retire, and I’d want him nowhere near Cardiff! Rather spend our wage bill on someone that’ll play more than 5 games a season.

We've had a few of those over the past few seasons

Dikacoi, Freddy Gounongbe and the current resident of the physio's table, Jazz Richards.

I laughed at that ''medical booked'' thread. I would say every fan of any club can say a medical is booked at this time of year and the majority will be correct within the week or two, its the transfer window ffs :lol:

However I wouldn't bet against it, he fits the Warnock style perfectly if he can be fit for long enough. The problem is he is shot as a footballer now, if he doesn't retire in the next season or two it would be a huge shock. Nobody is going anywhere near him for that reason.

Steve Bruce interested in taking him to Newcastle. I think that is far more likely to happen.
