Did we pay a transfer fee?

I think they'll be a clear out if Slade can get rid

Mike, I think about £300,000 but I am not 100% sure?

I thought it was the 100k it could be more and the 100k is what we owe them

I can't fault Slade for 'trying' Revell in the Championship, but it didn't work and that is a shame for player, manager and fans alike!

If Slade is starting to "get the message" on certain players, then that can only be a good thing and I hope that will now include giving certain other 'squad' members a go, e.g. Kennedy and maybe even the lad Tamas

We'll never know how good they might be unless we try them and (if I'm being honest) my expectations for the rest of this season are not overly ambitious, so we may as well look at the future :thumbup:

Do we have to give them 100k for them to take the donkey off us?

Isn't it the other way around?

Re: ' Alex Revell ' Leaving for?

Wed Jan 06, 2016 3:58 pm

175k he cost and now we're selling for 100k with more championship experience in a top half team slade and tan have no idea what so ever

If true, watch him score against us a la Maynard :roll:

Always thought it was a weird signing before he even kicked a ball for us.

Wasn't given a chance after the injuries.

Re: ' Alex Revell ' Leaving for?

Wed Jan 06, 2016 5:26 pm

Revell just not good enough and macheda sadly too injury prone looks like we are trimming the squad right down hopefully to get a few decent signings that will push us on

Re: ' Alex Revell ' Leaving for?

Wez, We paid £175,000 for Revell.

Will the Slade apologists be giving him credit for getting Revell off the wage bill even though he put the useless donkey on the wage bill in the first place, and will be making a loss on him?

I'm sure Lawnmower will try his best.

Yes most clubs are 150m in debt because of poor football decisions Allan :roll:
Anyway I couldn't care about other clubs let them discuss it on their forums. This is a Cardiff city forum is it not? Where we give our opinions on Cardiff City? Or are we not allowed to do that by your logic?

Re: ' Alex Revell ' Leaving for?

Wed Jan 06, 2016 8:22 pm

Yes Polo, could imagine I am going to cry over 75,000 loss on him, that's jack s**t in football.

It's the best for him and the club, I personally think the guy is really top bloke off the field and a good character just a shame it didn't work out for him here.. he works hard but doesn't have that edge on him like Kenwyne does, Revell for the type of striker he is needs to pose a threat aerial wise and needs to bully the oppositions defence which he doesn't do much of.

No doubt this is one of Slades not so good signings but luckily we didn't pay much and it's not one we can really cry over financially.

Along with Macheda, I do wish he was used more but sadly he is injury prone and be better off without.. but in this current time we will be left with Mason and Watt as actual senior strikers with experience.. personally think if we do get rid of these two (Revell and Macheda) we should recall Le Fondre.

Who gives a shit what he's like off the field. :roll:

At the end of the day he's absolutely shit and should never have been signed in the first place.

It was tongue in cheek you clown. Taking the piss of his apologists.

There's always an excuse for Slade, usually how much he's saved us, but signing players we don't use and then sell for less, or loan to other clubs isn't saving money!!!

Same as Doyle "at least he's off the wage bill". What about the million quid we paid for him?!?
