Now we’ve stayed up it really is the best bit of business the club has or probably will ever do getting £6m for him. If we had gone down rightly it could have been questioned but not any longer.

 

Bang average and we’ve had Cardiff’s trousers round their ankles for sure.

You're not wrong, the money we got for him is great

 

To be fair, the money that we've got for our last 3 sales has been pretty decent

 

Madine: £6M~£8M ......incredible, as he's nothing special

Holding: £2M~£3M...... he's not moved on too much at Arsenal, but at the time, great money for a player that had been part of pretty much our worst defence ever

Clough: £3M.....looking more and more like a result as each day goes by, I have a horrible feeling that he's just one of those players that's never going to really make it and live up to his hype

 

Everytime each one of those players was sold, people thought it was the end of the world, and we still managed to survive and stay afloat. I dread to think where we would be had we not received all that transfer cash

A couple of months before he was sold we were all worried that Madine was facing another prison sentence after some pub nonsense.

 

He's not the sort of character you can rely on and for £6m we are well rid.

aye, but we arent talking about rolling back the clock where he becomes our problem

 

we have the 6 million and we have cardiffs cnut

 

fwiw, i think we will have lukaku up front next season

if we signed billy sharp this board would be creaming itself

 

madine was easily the equal of sharp in his time with us last season

 

Over the last 2 seasons

 

Sharp 72 Games 39 Goals

Madine 71 games 14 goals

 

8 of those Goals for Madine were scored in his purple patch of 15 games which got us the fee

 

we'd be excited over Sharp down to the sheer fact he scored more than double in the same period. anyone would 

 

Thank Fcuk hes gone

which is why i said

 

in his time with us last season

 

anybody arguing we werent a better team with madine in it is in denial

 

its generally the ones who wrote him off and refused to see how much we had improved him

 

 

 

im hopeful we can get better this summer but to doubt his value to our team is bollocks

His value to the team was more about how we play rather than him being anything close to prolific. Yes his involvement was then missed when he went as we didnt then adapt to him going playing wise.

 

as i said earlier its time for this team to evolve. both from a personnel perspective and fingers crossed with a slightly more positive approach. Considering taking Madine back on any deal even if he became available would be a step back in my eyes.

 

Ken was pretty clear it was GM's decision to leave so i would also hope it would be 'thanks but no thanks' if it was ever proposed

What do our scouts actually do?

Have any of them actually considered strikers from abroad,

 

Doesn’t always have be a big Brexit striker, need to expand ourselves. Come on.

Let’s get some flair in the team.

I’m suspecting Ken has more than most of us but less than the Saudi royal family, hardly news hey.

 

Well he needs to stand aside and let one of these Billionaires that are queuing up to buy us take over then doesn't he

Posted

Obviously not a pot to p%ss in.   Investment my arse

 

I know i'll regret this....but here goes.

 

Do you think that KA should stand aside and let a wealthy backer take over.....if so, which one?

 

I reckon we should go for Bill Gates
