TRANSFER TALK: GARY MADINE TO SHEFF UTD?

Gary Madine: Sheffield United set to sign Cardiff City striker on loan
By James Shield


Cardiff City striker Gary Madine is set to join Championship side Sheffield United on loan.

Former Sheffield Wednesday forward Madine joined Cardiff from Bolton in a deal worth about £6m in January 2018.

The 28-year-old has struggled to make a mark with the Bluebirds and has only started one Carabao Cup game for the Premier League club this season.

The deal is expected to be until the end of the season, with a view to a permanent transfer in the summer.

Madine has made 19 appearances for Cardiff in total but has yet to score for them.

He played 113 games for Wednesday between 2010 and 2015 and would join a Blades side which is third in the Championship table.


Anthony Pilkington could also leave Cardiff in January, with second-tier clubs Blackburn, Ipswich and Wigan all thought to have an interest in the 30-year-old.

Pilkington has made 111 appearances for Cardiff since joining in 2014 but was left out of their 25-man Premier League squad.

Does he need a lift

How the fu.... did we pay all that money for him. Got to be a confidence thing???? Only so many times you can keep saying please sir can i Have some more. VT replies fu Off.

Ex Sheffield Wed as well, ouch

Would be a great move for him, us and Sheffield Utd if this came off. It hasn’t quite happened for him here as yet but I think a spell on loan would work wonders for him and if he does come back to us could prove the answer for the rest of his career. I hope so as I do like him.

I agree and a loan move would be spot on IMHO, as it gives the lad an opportunity to get back in the groove and any decision on his expensive future can be left to the summer when we will know in which league we will be playing in next season

Don't recall anyone form inside the club questioning his commitment or attitude either?

It’s been reported as loan with option to buy

With him & Damour supposedly going out of the 25, there's 2 spots up for grabs.

Should Richards be axed as he is continually injured and a waste of a spot in the 25 squad?

Same could apply to Ward.

Nah Ward a solid back up for where we are.

I would say all together this window we should lose

Madine
Damour
Connolly
Peltier
Richards

I say Peltier because I’m sure Warnock can quite easily get a better replacement for close to nothing -in terms of transfer fees -(1m or less)

Having a medical now

if we lost pelts richards connolly how short would u like our cover on defence

would rather zohore been shipped out over madine ppl slate madine but he still outscored zohore last season

Surely a striker is coming in with Madine going out on loan or leaves us with Paterson and Reid the only fit strikers because ward and zohore both injured

Good luck to him, it’s not his fault we paid so much for him.

Good move for both.

Warnock obviously has issue or doesn't think he is up to it even when he makes the bench he is rarely used.

Almost half of Madine's goals for Bolton were Pens. Im sure Sheffield United are just signing him because he won a flick on to assist Pilkington's goal against them last season. Glad he's going and hopefully we can recruit 1-2m

does it matter that he scored pens he didnt score for half season but yet still outscored our top striker at club says a lot really if madine is that bad then whats zohore then apart from being overrated whats he scored 9 in about 45-50 games

It matters because it shows that Zohore can actually score more goals in open play than Madine. If you take away Madine's 10 yrd penalty's he only scored about 6 goals. I don't disagree that Zohore has been poor over the last year but at least he's shown potential to be a very good striker when he was ripping up championship defenders for fun. Madine has shown no potential what so ever.
