' Gary Medel hints he wants to quit '

Friday 04th July 2014

Gary Medel has hinted he wants out of Cardiff City after his World Cup heroics – and admitted there is interest from Italy after being linked to a shock move to Inter Milan.

Chile star Medel was speaking for the first time since playing through the pain barrier against Brazil only to see his pre-tournament ambition of lifting the World Cup end in tears with a penalty shoot-out defeat to the hosts.

His performances at the finals has seen a surge of interest in the 26-year-old who had already been on the wish-list of Valencia, Celta Vigo and Besiktas before a ball was kicked in Brazil.

While Valencia were leading the race for ‘El Pitbull’ Serie A giants Inter now appear to be right in the hunt with Cardiff City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer already braced for his departure after the club’s relegation from the Premier League allowed a escape clause to be activated.

And, speaking in his homeland on his future, Medel said: “I remain a player of Cardiff, but now doors are open to play elsewhere and I hope that happens. Nothing has been said yet but I am wanted in Italy and that is a good possibility.”

The news comes just hours after Harry Redknapp revealed he had triggered a similar escape clause in Steven Caulker’s contract believed to be worth around £8m, stating he agreed a fee with Cardiff and the decision to join up with Rio Ferdinand in a new-look QPR defence was down to him.

Cardiff had warned they wanted to recoup most of the £11m splashed out on Medel when he was brought to South Wales from La Liga side Sevilla last summer, the Europa League winners having also shown an interest in a reunion with their former star.

But it is thought Solskjaer – who yesterday conceded he was “powerless” to stop stars such as Medel, Caulker and Fraizer Campbell leaving due to the relegation clauses in contract – is already planning for life without Medel.

Cardiff returned to pre-season training this week although Medel will be granted extra time-off after his international duty, although the player is still suffering with the thigh strain that he put to one side to battle against Brazil.

“I am recovering slowly, I’m getting treatment and I hope to evolve well in about a month,” he said. “The injury is serious because it is tear, but I think recovery is in about a month so I’ll be well for the season.

“For now I will have treatment in Chile, then when I go on vacation and I will continue the treatment outside.”

Try not to each too much dinner on holiday Gary

Not really a hint as an adamant statement that he wants to leave!

We knew what this was anyway. He was the expensive whore we hired for a night. It was never going to end in marriage. It could have gone better, but we part on amicable terms.

He strikes me as being the sort of player who'll pile on the weight if he's inactive for a month or so back home in his native country. I doubt that any new club will get a fit and ready Gary Medel at the start of the season.

All the best Gary Medel and thank you for your efforts as a Cardiff City Player. The only regret I have is that I wish we could have played you in your favourable position as you did so well in World Cup.

I salute you with our special two hand salute

He would have got slaughtered in the prem at centre back. His height would be a major issue.

I sometimes think these translated reports come across totally wrong.

He may have said that he was aware of interest in Spain and Italy but at the moment I am a Cardiff City player. You know how the press like to pump up a story.

Tan gets a rough ride for what he says when it is sometimes due to his broken English. Still a Pillock though.

"I hope the doors open"!

Always felt he would be off if we got relegated. Felt the same if we stayed up. Thought we might be able to keep him if we stayed up as he was not inspiring last season. However even if we stayed up this world cup has put an end for us to keep him.

Give a couple of seasons I we will all forget him.

Over-rated waste of money mercenary who did virtually nothing in the second half of the season.

Saw the World Cup as an opportunity to put himself in the shop window and, fair play to him, took that opportunity well.

Showed during the World Cup what he could have done for Cardiff if he could have been arsed. Unfortunately his attitude, particularly after Christmas, showed that he really didn't give a shit for the club.

Good riddance Gary - thanks for almost nothing.

What a ridiculous statement!
Medel competed with the best of the best and came out with distinction in the World Cup!!

I could leave a link to almost any report on Medel and it would be positive, so where does your lack of support for a Cardiff player come???

Never knew what to think of Medel.

What a ridiculous statement!
Medel competed with the best of the best and came out with distinction in the World Cup!!

Absolutely isn't a ridiculous statement.

If you knew anything about football, you'd understand that different leagues have different styles & just because a player has had a good few games in the World Cup, doesn't mean that he would make it week in, week out in the premier league. There are PLENTY examples of this.

Medel's lack of pace and lack of height would see him slaughtered as a centre back in the premiership. By the way, his lack of height was also highlighted against Australia (I think) where Medel totally missed a defensive header and allowed them to score.

Lack of support? Get a grip. I'm just saying he would be no good as a CB in the premiership and better utilised as a CDM. It looks like both CCFC managers last season agreed with me too.

So now you are saying that The World Cup is not as competitive or tough as the PL. LAUGHABLE.

Don't forget that there are more PL players there than from any other league.

I believe in natural selection. Let's see if any top flight clubs come in for him. Of course, I know nothing about football, whereas you are the guru, so if you are right and I'm so completely wrong, he will stay at Cardiff because he's not good enough for the PL.

I'm fed up of reading negative comments about Cardiff players by armchair critics who have never played professional football. If you are a supporter, support!!!

The season went downhill for Medel when Malky went and the table started to look grim. He realised he was being played out of position alongside players who couldn't support him. Despite this, his passing accuracy was probably the highest in the team (about 88% if my memory serves me correctly).

My prediction (unfortunately): He will be snapped up by a mid to lower PL club or go to a top flight outfit in one of the prestige leagues elsewhere. Just remember that if one bid comes in from any of these, you are wrong!

So now you are saying that The World Cup is not as competitive or tough as the PL. LAUGHABLE.

again, you're making yourself look silly. Where Did I say he wasn't good enough for the premier league? Your arguments will have much more kudos if you stopped making things up.

he wasn't being played out of position. He doesn't suit the English leagues as a centre back. Pure and simple.

My prediction (unfortunately): He will be snapped up by a mid to lower PL club or go to a top flight outfit in one of the prestige leagues elsewhere. Just remember that if one bud comes in from any of these, you are wrong!


no I'm not. I'd only be wrong if he moved to a premiership team and had a stormer playing in defence. You need to learn to read.

Chuckles telling other people they are stupid and should learn to read is very brave. Alex you are so brave and one hell of of a man of courage and superior education and those smiling/mocking faces are cool.

Listen now Chubbles: You stated Medel would be slaughtered because of his lack of pace and height. That directly implies he isn't good enough. Don't try to dress it up any other way. Learn to read what you have written!

The high number of PL players at The World Cup is highly relevant and Medel acquitted himself tremendously under far worse conditions than we have in the UK. He missed a defensive header. Big deal!! So if Marshall lets goals in, he is not a good keeper??? Yet more words of wisdom.

You say now he doesn't suit the English leagues (plural). It gets worse! So by direct implication, he wouldn't do well at a lower English league??? You really are pushing the envelope here. What you are again implying is Medel isn't good enough to play in Championship (i.e. Cardiff).

Negative comments are allowed, but you take it to the ultimate level. No positive comments and directly critical of individual players.

If we receive one bid from a top flight club, you are wrong in the eyes of that manager, chairman and their board. If he plays in a different system, I believe he will flourish, but of course, who can predict the season any player will have with any great certainty?

Just to underline how sweeping your statements have been, here are Medel's stats for the tournament:

Tackles won 75%
Pass accuracy 90%
Duels won 59%
Fouls concede per game 0.71
378 minutes played
9 interceptions
Duels won 25
AERIAL DUELS WON 14
Clearances 40
Total passes 271
No yellow or red cards.

His last game was played with a muscle tear which was heavily strapped and resulted in him being stretchered off towards the end of the game. However, he returned to the pitch for the penalties to support his team. The photographs of him, inconsolable when they lost are iconic. You could learn a lesson from this display of support!

By the way, I can read. Can you think?

Think you can put that down as a direct hit.

no it doesn't. Twist it all you like. Please provide a quote where I have said he's not good enough for the premier league? You can't, can you. as I said, learn to read.

I said he would get slaughtered at Centre back. I stand by that too. The two managers seem to think so too, neither played him there.

absolute rubbish. The amount of prem players at the WC doesn't mean Medel would be a good CB.

It is a big deal. It's a prime example how a lack of height affects him at CB. They problem would be exacerbated at premiership level.

You say now he doesn't suit the English leagues (plural). It gets worse! So by direct implication, he wouldn't do well at a lower English league??? You really are pushing the envelope here. What you are again implying is Medel isn't good enough to play in Championship (i.e. Cardiff).

again, you're making wild and nonsensical assumptions. I don't think he would suit the English game at centre back. I've provided reasons why and all you've done is have a paddy by reading things incorrectly and making yourself look like fool in the process.

Negative comments are allowed, but you take it to the ultimate level. No positive comments and directly critical of individual players.

more lies. What a shame. I will be critical of players, wherever I see fit. If you can't handle opinions, maybe a message board isn't for you. I think Medel would be gash as a CB in the prem. Deal with it.

If we receive one bid from a top flight club, you are wrong in the eyes of that manager, chairman and their board. If he plays in a different system, I believe he will flourish, but of course, who can predict the season any player will have with any great certainty?

incorrect. I will only be wrong if Medel has an excellent SEASON at CB at premiership level. Never have I said he isn't good enough for the premiership. I actually think he was excellent & his work often went unnoticed. In fact, he was most noticeable by his a sense & how worse we were when he didn't play.

You mock the monumental effort put in by Medel (or you are, as per usual, patronising me; your English is limited and ambiguous).

You stated Medel was too short and lacks the pace required. There was nothing positive in your original post. I am twisting nothing. You have now back-pedalled by saying he was excellent. Make your mind up!!

The players he has faced at The World Cup are, by definition, world class and he has done well.

The fact both Cardiff managers wouldn't play him at CB is no endorsement of your opinion, because he performed below his best and we were relegated in last place. Must try harder Chubbs!

I clearly stated that it is very difficult to predict a player's season beforehand because of factors like injuries, personal problems, squad cohesion and of course, playing position.

If you are right, then Medel won't be a prospect for a top flight club. Whether he plays CB or not is a matter io where the new club needs someone because by your own assessment, he did well last season and was noticeable by his absence at times and has gone on to play magnificently for Chile in The World Cup. Your assertion that it is a different style only proves my point that he is flexible and, when motivated, can play in a different position with aplomb.

A message board is definitely the place for me, if only to balance views. I can certainly handle debate. You, however, resort to inaccurate insults. I can read. If I interpret, extrapolate, infer or contextualise text, that is high order reading, not lies or illiteracy.

I had at least one endorsement from another poster, so I can't be too far from the mark.

Have a nice day!

absolutely. You really are struggling to understand this. Your English must be quite basic. I said he was too short and lacked the pace TO BE A CENTRAL DEFENDER IN THE PREMIERSHIP. The capitals are the key to the point. In the role he did play, however, I thought he was quite excellent.

The players he has faced at The World Cup are, by definition, world class and he has done well.

totally different style to the premiership and English game, which I have said several times now. I forget though, that you seemingly have limited comprehension levels.

The fact both Cardiff managers wouldn't play him at CB is no endorsement of your opinion, because he performed below his best and we were relegated in last place. Must try harder Chubbs!

surely by that notion, if they thought playing him there could have improved matters, they would have done. Must try harder Wally!

If you are right, then Medel won't be a prospect for a top flight club.

wrong again. I will try and break it down for you to make it easier to understand.

Someone said we should have played him at Centre back.
I disagreed and said he would be poor at Centre back.
I think he will be fine in another team at premiership level, but in the role he played in & not at CB.
The only way I will be proved wrong is if he has a fantastic season playing at CB in the premiership.

Whether he plays CB or not is a matter io where the new club needs someone because by your own assessment, he did well last season and was noticeable by his absence at times and has gone on to play magnificently for Chile in The World Cup.

so,e interesting spin there.

I am getting a little tired of chuckles already. He seems to diss decent comments for no reason at all. I really dont know what he gets out of it. He is so trivial to.

More patronising, inaccurate dross in my opinion, but there again, you will forgive me for not going over the salient points of my previous posts.

Medel is a quality player who, in my opinion, will be sought after by top flight clubs in the near future. He will fulfil a role within that club well if the system allows him to demonstrate his considerable skills on the field. He can play as a defender or further up the field, as demonstrated in the World Cup and PL respectively.

I refute your suggestion that he would be slaughtered as a CB, again an opinion to which I am entitled as much as you are to state the opposite.

I haven't lied at all, merely interpreted what you wrote. My command of the English language has been sufficient for me to communicate effectively and efficiently in a demanding professional environment for decades. Your continual assertions about my lack of reading skills make you look less than rational unfortunately.

Finally, before you criticise someone's ability to read, try using Capital letters at the beginning of sentences.

More patronising, inaccurate dross in my opinion, but there again, you will forgive me for not going over the salient points of my previous posts.

your posts aren't THAT bad.

Medel is a quality player who, in my opinion, will be sought after by top flight clubs in the near future. He will fulfil a role within that club well if the system allows him to demonstrate his considerable skills on the field. He can play as a defender or further up the field, as demonstrated in the World Cup and PL respectively.

Not as a centre back in the premiership though, in my opinion.

I refute your suggestion that he would be slaughtered as a CB, again an opinion to which I am entitled as much as you are to state the opposite.

good for you. Well stop crying about my opinion then.

I haven't lied at all, merely interpreted what you wrote. My command of the English language has been sufficient for me to communicate effectively and efficiently in a demanding professional environment for decades. Your continual assertions about my lack of reading skills make you look less than rational unfortunately.


you have.

Finally, before you criticise someone's ability to read, try using Capital letters at the beginning of sentences.

bless.

Not bothered, just hope we get as much as we can back.

At last, some sense!

His performance in the World Cup will do us no harm in that respect.

Tell me more! I love a good read (apparently my literacy skills need attention, according to Einstein).
