Sounds like a kitchen cleaner product - but may be worth a punt.

Cardiff City linked with want-away Wigan Athletic midfielder Max Power
By Jordan Jones


Cardiff City, Sheffield Wednesday and Rangers are all tracking the situation of Wigan Athletic midfielder Max Power after being frozen out at the club.


The 24 year-old who joined the Lactics back in 2015 is seeking a move away from the club after declaring his desire to play at a higher-level following the clubs immediate relegation to League One.

Power has seemingly already been replaced as the club brought in Wolverhampton Wanderers and Wales U21 international midfielder Lee Evans to the club on a season-long loan.

Simon Jones of the Daily Mail has said that the former Tranmere youth is available for a cut-price of £500,000 which could tempt clubs due to the minimal risk involved with such a small fee.

Cardiff though, may offer a different way of payment with Neil Warnock keen to see the clubs fringe players leave the club and could use a number of players as a way of structuring the deal.

Craig Noone, Declan John and Stuart O’Keefe have all been told they are free to move elsewhere after being deemed surplus to requirements, with both John and O’Keefe the more realistic, having had experience at that level in recent years.

Speaking after the Livingston game, Neil Warnock spoke of how transfer movement was unlikely before the clubs game against Burton Albion but hasn’t ruled out swapping any of his unwanted players as part of a swap deal.

“If we could swap someone or something like that. You don’t know what’s round the corner really but I think it’ll be around the end of the month.”

Last season, Power made 42 appearances for the club, where he assisted his team mates seven time.

Power was also a part of Wigan’s League One title winning side a year before where he made a huge impact as he scored six times and assisted eight.

The central-midfielder still has two-years left on his contract but with the club happy to accept £500,000 then a move could be negotiated with ease as manager Paul Cook accepts the fate of one of his players.

Noone and Fred for Power

My mate is a Cardiff fan but he now lives in Wigan as he plays RL for Swinton Lions. He's said that he's a brilliant player but could be out of our price range...

Nooone is a scouser so could welcome a move near Liverpool

Surprised to hear that figure. Thought it would be closer to 2 - 3 mill

Could be the leader, we've been crying out for. Plenty of aggression and passion.

He can't be that brilliant if he plays for Wigan and Rangers are one of the clubs bidding for him???

We're Cardiff City not Chelsea. We need a centre midfielder badly and I'd be happy if we signed him

Swap for noone

Must be more to the story like the player has a history of being 'difficult?' which would appeal to Warnock's managerial instincts.

Swap for noone

CN's wages of £25kpw will be the stumbling block in that deal.

I'm sure there could be negotiations. We pay some wages?

This is a statement he put out a while ago, might help people understand why he is for sale.

Thanks!

Wigan League One? At a maximum they could pay £5kpw leaving us to pick up a £20kpw tab and God knows about any bonuses etc.

Perhaps CN would also take a drop in wages? Just putting possibles out there.

Nooone is a scouser so could welcome a move near Liverpool

Even closer than that. Noone is from Skelmersdale, and has close ties with Skelmersdale FC, which is 5 miles from Wigan.

Swap for noone

Not sure where these figures come from...Warnock admitted sometime ago that Manga was our top earner on Aprrox £20k per week so can't see how Nooney would be on £25k

If I was to have a guess and it would be a complete guess because only the player, his agent and the club would know for definite...I would guess about £15k a week (but still a stumbling block I agree)

The £25kpw is an amount which is banded about on the message board on a regular basis. It might be an estimate which would put it on par with your £15kpw another estimate? Either way his salary is prohibitive to a move to League One, unless we pick up the tab in the same way we did with Rickie Lambert.

Exactly where my brain went first too!

Can you imagine that being sung as a chant! Maaaxxx Power he's a name you want to touch... it'd be awesome
