UPDATED DEAL DONE: BREAKING NEWS ADAM LE FONDRE GONE

Tue Aug 30, 2016 8:37 pm

Adam Le Fondre
Delighted to announce I'm signing for @LaticsOfficial! Thanks for the well wishes @CardiffCityFC fans! Didn't work out for me but that's
Can't wait to get my season fully up and running with @LaticsOfficial and get back to scoring goals!!


Bit more from Le Fondre

It’s probably no surprise that I have left Cardiff because they told me I was able to leave so it’s good to get the move.

This move is going to give me a platform to perform again and consistently play football. There is a lot of hard work in front of me and a lot of goals to score, but that’s what I am here to do.

The manager and the chairman have grand plans for the club, it’s still a big calling and it’s something for me to really sink my teeth into and get going in.



UPDATED

Cardiff City Football Club can confirm that Adam Le Fondre has completed a season-long loan deal to Wigan Athletic, subject to international clearance.

As part of this loan agreement, Adam is ineligible to play against Cardiff City Football Club while with the Latics.

We’d like to wish Adam luck while at the DW Stadium.

Cardiff City striker Adam Le Fondre is joining Championship rivals Wigan Athletic.




' BREAKING NEWS ADAM LE FONDRE GONE '

I believe Wigan Athletic have agreed a deal to sign Cardiff City striker Adam Le Fondre on a season long loan.

Fellow Championship Club Wigan have supposedly agreed to pay 70% of Le Fondre wages.

Le Fondre's wages are approx £25,000 a week.

Cardiff City no longer want a transfer fee they just want him gone from the club, plus reducing City's wages vastly.

Le Fondre was on the bench for Cardiff City v Reading, but has mainly trained with Cardiff City's DVP squad.

City have made it clear they want him gone and I believe the feeling is mutual.

Wigan Athletic have agreed a deal to sign Cardiff City striker Adam Le Fondre on loan, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

Le Fondre has been frozen out of things at Cardiff this summer spending most of pre-season playing and training with the development squad with the club willing to let him move on.

The 29-year-old was a surprise inclusion on the bench for the recent defeat to Reading, but he does not figure in Paul Trollope's plans going forward.

Le Fondre spent last season out on loan at Wolverhampton Wanderers and he scored three goals in 26 appearances for the Molineux outfit.

The former Reading and Rotherham striker has struggled to make an impact at Cardiff since joining the club in the summer of 2014, making just 21 appearances for the Welsh club.

Cardiff are willing to let Le Fondre leave before the close of the transfer as they pursue a move for Norwich City striker Kyle Lafferty.

Agree with that Wez but it's been an expensive exercise getting rid of Dikgacoi, Macheda and Le Fondre is still on the books and still costing us money.

Club is full of bullshit

It smells so bad, it's keeping supporters away.


Tan got duped into buying, then tried to do is own thing and failed.
Now it's - bare bones before bail out.

Actions speak much louder than words.

You may be right -

The championship is a very difficult place and a couple of poor decisions can get you in a spiral and get you relegated.

I hope that we cut our cloth properly, but even a good cheap team needs a strong spine.

Bare bones will increase empty seats, more empty seats will increase bare bones........

Every window you see all clubs signing decent players you feel we should of gone for gets to deadline day we don't get no one proper anticlimax

Great news if Alf has gone. The club now needs to sign some players to get the fans excited and show they are serious about a push for promotion, unfortunately I can't see the likes of Campbell being brought back.

Re: ' BREAKING NEWS ADAM LE FONDRE GONE '

Tue Aug 30, 2016 9:25 pm

I hope the club don't think that Lafferty will be the answer to our goal scoring problems
We could have signed a striker months ago but the club thought Fred and Zahore was the answer
Campbell and Grabbham are both available and I reckon we could get Lambert on loan
It will be interesting who we do sign by the end of the window
This will determine how much ambition we have
I wouldn't be surprised if more players leave than come in
Right Vincent Tan surprise us and sign some decent players
Oh f**k I just woke up it was all a dream we only signed Lafferty

An interesting 24 hours ahead :thumbup:

Can't see it, but I'd love Campbell back here and it would send out a positive signal from the club to both playing staff and paying supporters alike :ayatollah:

Re: ' BREAKING NEWS ADAM LE FONDRE GONE '

Think we need more than just one decent striker. Injuries and suspensions are bound to kick in sometime, and we don't have even have a particularly strong first eleven, never mind strength in depth.
