KIEFFER MOORE:


'I don't want to slander anyone' - Kieffer Moore speaks for first time since Cardiff City claim over Bournemouth move


“One day in the future, I will say something.”

Saturday 5th February 2021




Cardiff have received £3mill upfront and with add ons of £.5mill and £1,5mill, Cardif could eventually get £5mil, which City fans will hope will be spent this summer on new signings.


Bournemouth striker Kieffer Moore batted away questions over the manner of his move away from Cardiff City, claiming he did not want to "slander" anyone with his explanation.

Moore's potential departure away from the Welsh capital city club has been a plot point for the last two transfer windows and his exit had a sense of inevitability surrounding i



Cardiff manager Steve Morison said Moore "effectively forced" through his transfer to Bournemouth after he tabled a transfer request.

Morison said he would prefer to have a group of players together fighting for survival rather than someone whose heart wasn't truly in the cause.

Morison had maintained he did not want to lose Moore, but it was out of hands what the people above decided.

Moore himself hit back on Instagram, signing off his farewell message to Bluebirds fans with a cryptic; "Don't believe everything you read in the paper."


And, in his first interview since joining Scott Parker's side, he said that one day he will explain his version of events surrounding his Cardiff exit.


"I am not going to really speak about that," he told the BBC when asked about Morison's transfer comments. "I don't want to really slander anyone or get into that.

"I am just going to skip the question. one day I will say something, maybe not."



When Wolves were interested in his services last summer, then manager Mick McCarthy said Moore was interested in securing a move to the Premier League.


Kieffer Moore was told last season that he had been sold to Wolves and at the last moment it fell through, Moore has never been the same since on the pitch.

And Moore, 29, revealed the opportunity to play in the top flight was a big pull for him to move to the south coast club.

"I have made it clear that I want to play in the Premier League," he added. "I saw this as an amazing opportunity."

He hasn't really said much there and maybe it's what he hasn't said that counts...

No actual rebuttal, no gratitude and two managers who have saud he 'angled' for a move

I also chuckled when he said he 'always works hard in the gym, so is always ready to play...'

You got us there, Keiffer; it certainly fooled us this season...! ;) :roll:

Two words Kieffer "Gary" "Madine". You are Bournemouth's insurance policy as was the goal machine.


Bournemouth should go up as they certainly have gambled, but not sure what happens with FFP if the wheels fall off.

Kieffer needs to look up what slander means.. and learn to think.

He is a deep thinker; of his own self-interest and certainly not of his employers or those who sang his name...! :(

As much as I want him to do well for Wales he clearly has no loyalty to any club, just personal ambition. That in itself of course is a good thing in any walk of life. However, as a supporter of Cardiff City and due to his poor attitude towards us this season, I hope Bournemouth flop massively in the playoffs. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Really? This move has been angled since the summer Keifer, don't take us for fools. We don't want your excuses just take your money and enjoy warming the bench. Your return to Cardiff in a Wales shirt may not be what you expect if you actually get selected.

This is bullshit from KM. If he had something to say then he would say it, as there's no NDA holding him back.

I can't see him starting many games at Bournemouth. They have 18 league games left, he'll be lucky to start five of them. Solanke is having a very good season and he also has to compete with Dembele, who has the same amount of league goals as Moore and Dembele was playing for a weaker team than us.


I'm grateful for Moore after last season when he did very well. But the way he left will always overshadow that.

Well as slander is defined as a falsehood thats probably a good idea.

Maybe some on here should follow his example.

Yep, slander is telling untruths, crack on on Keiffer we’ve heard the truth do let’s hear the lies !!

Let me think, “I didn’t want to go”, “ I gave everything for the team”, “It was nothing to do with money” ………..

All of them patently untrue.

I’m sure there will be more but can’t be arsed to add them !!!!!

Don’t blame him one bit for wanting to move ….
He’s had crap service when he’s played and in a tweak devoid of creativity ..
How many on here wouldn’t take the move from a bottom 5 club to a top 5 club and a chance to play in the PL??
If he was their son, I bet no many would advise him to stay!!
He did a great job for us last season and was the first player to score 20 goals in a season in years ….

Nothing wrong with ambition and if you can’t get what you want one way then you have to find a different solution

KM needs to understand that sometimes it's better to say nothing or play the "Game" ans say the right things at the right time. To try and introduce the "Slander" word in answer to the question about deciding to leave Cardiff sort of tells me "He doth protest to much".

There is no doubt that he did submit a transfer request and that did force the hand of the club to let him go. There is also no doubt that this season his performances have fallen below the level we saw last season, so why has that happened? Certainly having the likes of Wilson, Ojo, Murphy, Hoilett and Bennett supplying him helped but this season for me he cut a frustrated figure and at times looked more than a little disinterested. He walked off the pitch at Bournemouth and didn't look back.

One thing I'm certain about and that is this season he hasn't shown an ounce of the desire Uche displayed at Barnsley to score the goal Wednesday evening. Only KM can answer why to that one.

Wolves apparently 10 million for Moore at the start of this season - and we turned them down.

If you speak the truth Kiefar - you wont be slandering anyone. So tell us what really happened ?

Or maybe you wont as you dont want to incriminate yourself. Good luck at Bournemouth - you are going to need lots of it as they are employing you to score goals.
