JUNIOR HOILETT – £3 MILLION

Football League

Vital Cardiff

Attacking midfielder Hoilett was an audacious free transfer signing by Warnock just days after he was confirmed as Bluebirds boss.


Junior Hoilett joined the Bluebirds until June 2017.


The former QPR winger had departed Loftus Road at the end of last season after failing to agree a new contract.

It had been reported that Hoilett was holding out for a move to a Premier League but as the season was progressing there was no sign of that desired big money move into the top flight for the 26 year old.

Warnock, who managed Hoilett at QPR, persuaded the Canadian international to agree terms with the Bluebirds and sign on a free transfer.

The fact that Hoilett is now valued at close to £3 million shows that either Cardiff got an absolute steal or the winger is one of the most overrated players on the market in the Championship.

Only time will tell.

Who values him at £3m?

Just to put some context on this, I was asked to write an article by Football League World on Cardiff City player values that were surprising. We were asked to use Transfermarkt as a guideline. So the value comes from there. I thought £3 million was a bit obscene considering we got him on a free just a few weeks back so thought I'd shove him in. Here is the article in its entirety...

A few transfer valuations on that website were surprising. Obviously not gospel but generally a good indicator.

I though he was on a short term contract until Jan 17 which would make his transfer value £0? Mind you if that is not the case and someone offered £3m in Jan then it would represent the signing of the century

He's contracted until June

No chance, sign him up in January If doing the business. He's just what we have needed and isn't up to speed yet, watch him fly when he gets up to speed and Warnock establishes this team.
