BREAKING " GARY MADINE "

Moan moan moan, moan when he's here about how much he cost, then the same moan when he goes

This is positive news, we've moved on a player that didn't fit and potentially can utilise some wages for a player that Harris wants!

Don't forget he helped get us promoted and his fee would have been more than covered from the Sky money in the Premier League!

Good luck Madine, all the best wherever you go

This post is far too sensible. However, its does represent the view of the vast majority of reasonable club supporters. Unfortunately this site more and more has become the domain of miserable moaners who obviously have really crap lives, and want to make everyone else as miserable as they are.

Probably a little more successful and dynamic than this management team maybe?

Obviously not as far as Abramovich is concerned? but not fure ehg people are surprised at madine situation hes not going to be ahead of glatzel or ward so may as well free up wages for the players we need.

As reported elsewhere Gary Madine Salary £12000 pw.Bang average for championship so sorry to all the moaners who think its cost us loads to get rid of him.

It was always going to end up as a payoff as no one would take him/nor would he agree to leave given his lucrative Cardiff contract. Instead Cardiff will have paid a large percentage of his prospective earnings for the time remaining on his deal and leave him to find a club at a much lower salary. Basically Gary is laughing his arse off

I'm sure Gary Madine won't be (quote) "laughing his arse off", as I'm pretty sure he wanted to play football but I guess people (particularly negative ones like you) will take that view

From the start, Madine hasn't truly been given a chance at the club and even after he 'did a job' for Sheffield United last season, he wasn't used on at City despite our other strikers firing more blanks than a Eunuch on heat

The fee and/or wages paid weren't of his making and I am not aware that he made any fuss in his time here; certainly not in the media, which is where most go to bleat about how unfairly they are being treated

But I do agree that it was always going to end up as a 'mutual agreement' due the wages City themselves paid him


Good luck to the guy, I say; and I hope he fixes himself up with a club soon enough

I’m sorry Sven. Your view is no more valid that mine unless you purport to know Gary personally. Of course he’s laughing he’s gained his wages in advance (minus some maybe) and free to pick up a wage elsewhere. Don’t knock assumptions made by others when you are assuming yourself. My assessment is that he is one of the worst buys we have ever made and even you would struggle to discredit that opinion

Choice is keep him on wages bill or get rid enabling others to come in? Football finance us on its own when it comes to contracts and people can only speculate as to what it will cost club maybe just maybe theres a clause in his severance that he repays it back if he gets signing on fee at another club this is been done before if remember correctly? It just allows both parties to move on amicably.

Nathan Blake will be gutted, he picked him to start on Sunday!

couple of things...if he just wanted to pick up wages and not play...A } why on earth did he go out on loan { when others have refused } ...and B} why accept whatever money has been negotiated now...he clearly wants to play.
worse buys..? he wasn't brought in to be first choice ahead of someone we sold for 8mill and was valued even higher at the time ,he was brought to give us that extra option and back up...how winning promotion which he contributed to can then be a worse buy is mind blowing.

Strange as it may seem,so would I.
He can win headers,he can hold the ball up,there is no end product as we all know (But miracles do happen) but get out there for 60 minutes and bully them Jack bastards before making way for Ward or Glatzel.

same here mate..strange thing is Harris went out of his way to big Madine up a few times....said he was the best player on the park after he came on at Brentford. yet gone less than a month later ?????????

Never Settled At Cardiff Hense The Reason That He Never Scored For Us. I Wish Him On His Way And Im Sure He Will Do Good Elsewhere, Maybe Millwall Or QPR. It Shows Also That The Club Struggled To Sell Him For Any Money So They Just Let Him Go For Nothing.

Next To Leave Hopefully Bogle AND Vassell Because They Still Have Too Many Strikers. The club Only Need 2 Strikers And We Have That In Paterson, Glatzel AND Danny Ward. PLUS Reid On Loan But Doubtful He Would Stay Unless We Get Promoted Via The Play-Offs.

Perhaps in future we should do loans only rather than been stuck with a player such as madine for 6 mill nobody wants, same as murphy 11 million who would pay that for him today.

One the many we have wasted millions on in recent years when cheaper options were available.

In the real world , he has just been made redundant.
So a pay off , of maybe 35% of wages due, probably £150k.
If he can find work soon (which he will) good luck to him .

Warnocks signings leave a lot to be desired whenever he spent significant money.

we did try to loan Madine..and tried offering less...and then moved on to other more expensive targets that were even more expensive than we thought which we were not prepared to pay...so it came down to if you want to strengthen your squad to go up you pay the dollar..
football isn't this magic world where its a unilateral decision mate.. teams are allowed to say no..players are allowed to say no..

Strange goings on at the club. Harris seemed to like Madine and talk him up, he starts playing quite well after months in the wilderness then he disappears From the squad again and now paid to leave.

It appears he may well be one of the players called out for not being proffesional.

I heard there were issues with a few of our players the night before the QPR game last week.

If true, then I can see one or two more leaving in the same manner.

Club really haven’t a clue,cost 6 million and leaves for nothing,no wonder there is no money available for transfers,how many players is that now that have walked away for nothing

Don’t be a doughnut now we’ve made that back and more after promotion.

That’s ok then,promotion payments cover it lol,we may as well let everyone leave for nothing because we got promotion,and you call me a doughnut lol

Well no the club aren’t letting everybody leave for nothing are they.

They’ve released one player.

So if they get of Murphy,who we paid £11 million for,That in your eyes would be ok because in your view,promotion money would cover it,some people haven’t got a clue

If that's true and coupled with the NH "it will not happen on my watch again" speech this may be the reason for the apparent downing of tools at QPR and manager reaction?

so if .. but we haven't, lets not jump the gun here..

Clearly they won’t get rid of Murphy,my point was,irrelevant of the money we received for getting promotion,getting rid of a player that cost 6 million is madness,and it’s not just happened once its happened numerous times in the past and with different managers

Im sure everyone will agree his signing was a massive failure but at times he did produce a good performance, Leeds away his first game and Forest away this year, but for the money we paid the odd few assists and good performances here and there just isnt good enough.

All the best to him though, apparently off up to Sunderland to join up with Phil Parkinson.

im not sure what has happened here , but its not straight forward, its less than a month when Madine came on against Brentford and Harris described him as the best player on the pitch.. its also very early in the window to be writing off any chance of selling or loaning especially when there were a number of managers interested in taking him on loan this time last season { including Harris } .. beats me

So confused with NH...best player on pitch then gone??!

I cant think of a player who has given less value for money we paid

based on appearances and no goals yes failure..
he wasn't brought in to be a first choice striker though.. and I doubt to even be a option striker should we go up...
he was brought in to be back up/take pressure off/ be an option...he played we won ,we went up. he wasn't great but didn't need to be to help us get those extra 1 or 2 points..
did a similar job for Sheffield last season..

What an absolutely astonishing waste of money!

Transfer fee, wages and now probably a pay off as well for a return of virtually nothing whatsoever!

I would imagine that is what Vincent Tan has said almost word for word to both NHs! And who would blame him?

Interestingly quite a few on here seem sad to see him go. This is in stark contrast to when Ken Zahore went! Seems very strange when you think of their contribution and their sell on values. Why I wonder?

I think there’s only one or two in this category mate.
For me, there’s zero argument about Madine being anything but a waste of money and I imagine Tan has been fuming.

i haven't seen anyone say they were sad..
surprised but not sad...don't think anyone saw him as our number 1 forward

Agreed . IAbsolute fact , if you consider what his recruitments are worth now he has wasted millions Of Tans money that he is now trying to pull back, I just heard about Madine, can’t believe we couldn’t even get 500k for him, just sums up the player judgement and budgeting of the man some on here call a legend. . Would have been a positive step to have got anew face or two through the loan system to freshen the squad up for Sunday. But maybe more movement through Warnocks departures lounge first..........

Best of luck to him.....sometimes certain players and certain clubs simply don’t click.
As fir the money etc , that’s football !
Mr Tan can afford it...
