There are far more better players for this supposedly £4m fee eg Rhodes, Le Fondre, Lambert


Rhodes and Lambert 4m :lol: yeah ok.

Maynard scored a few beauties against us last season. a strike rate of 1 in less than 3 for an average side. I think hes a 20 goal a season man if we get him.

I would hope we could get someone better for 4m

Like who?

4m buys you f**k all these days. We paid 4m for chops and Maynard is in the same mould.

Bristol got 250k in Jan as opposed to f**k all in July.


We paid a total of £4m for a 15 goal highest scoring midfielder in La Liga from last season and the best defender from the 4th best defence from the same league.

So with all due respect, £4m can get you plenty of quality better than Nicky Maynard .

You have Premier League football, you're able to attract foreign players like that


Oh yeah, that's right :mrgreen:

Realistically Nick Maynard and/or Jay Bothroyd

Both proven at this level

Charlie Austin anither

Rhodes and Lambert are not realistic

Re: West Ham asking for 4 million for Maynard

Yes Bothroyd, on a free, class player , just needs a malky kick up the arse :old:

My only concern is the "going back" factor.

Malky would never sign Jay, not his type of player/persona unfortunately.

They got him for a fraction of his value as he his contract was due to expire in summer.

I tend to agree but on reasonable wages and a free transfer I think JB is worth the gamble :ayatollah:

I just don't think Maynard is going to happen (hope I am wrong) but judging by recent history....the way the club gets players is they sneak them through with little competition from other clubs.


Seems to me under the Malky era....when a player is linked to Cardiff, and there is speculation, the club losess or is outbid, or "was never really interested".

I hope there is a plan B...it just feels like the club tries to sign one player at a time...
