I can always remember pelts getting it on Twitter when we signed him and he could read all of it as his Twitter was linked to the comments.
If warnock wants him then I trust him. If he doesn't work out then we can worry about that afterwards.
We just get comments of 'just go and get dwight Gayle' as if it's literally as simple as that.
Lets just support the team. It's warnock's last year and if he doesn't get promoted we could end up with any old manager then who could struggle.
So make the most of it whilst we have him. Support him and the team and give us the best chance of promotion.

I think all football fans like to get excited by new signings for their clubs and for most that means signing players that they've heard of or promising young players from some of the bigger teams.
In these days of forums like this and social media like Twitter and Facebook you are going to get a wide variety of views and inevitably they are not all going to be positive. Even if we signed Ronaldo or Messi there would be some who found something to complain about -I bet if you look on the Derby forums there will be some who are critical of their signing of Rooney.
Ultimately footballers are judged by how they perform on the pitch and until a player signs for your team he can only be judged on what he's done before.
Some players with great playing records turn out to be poor when they sign (Fowler and Lambert for example) and some players who haven't been great at their previous clubs turn out to be fantastic when they sign for us (struggling to think of many at the moment - suggestions welcome!) but until they actually play for us people's opinions are going to be based on what the player has done so far.
Remember that the opinions on here and on social media do not reflect the fan base as a whole and I'm sure that all City fans will be hoping that any player signed is going to be a success.

That’s a well thought out post and one I pretty much agree with.
If this Vassell signs then I’m not at all impressed and would be disappointed.
However, this is Warnock and this is cardiff City!
I won’t slag him out, in fact I’ll support him and give him a chance as he could be a gem.
Twitter and Facebook are full of idiots and trolls and are not worth listening to in general.

Spot on. We must have made at least 20 million profit last year and this year we start with up to 45 million than most of the others. If Tan wants to use some of this to repay what is owed to him, fair enough. But be honest about it.
