Ramarena Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 According to the Daily Hate. Among the other signings is full-back Brayford, who arrived from Championship side Derby County in the summer. Cardiff paid £1.75m, plus £500,000 in additional clauses, to sign one of the most promising players in the Football League. Brayford, 25, was regarded so highly at Pride Park that they were reluctant to let him quit for less than £3m. Eventually he signed for Cardiff in July. They will pay him £416,000 in signing-on fees over the course of his contract and the agent will pick up £281,000. Brayford, who is paid £18,000 a week, has not played in the top flight and wants to leave. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2530177/EXCLUSIVE-Revealed-The-50m-deals-cost-Malky-Mackay-Cardiff-job.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The interesting thing about this article is, having signed Bradford which now appears to have been the managers' decision, why has Mackay only selected him twice. Injury may have been a factor but surely not for the entire season to date? Also, the fee mentioned is a lot higher than most of us had believed it to be - possibly journalistic licence?

How many fans want him back now??? I wonder how that compares to Wisdom's wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The fee paid includes a signing on fee and payment to the agent.... The fee to us was therefore somewhat less. Silly move at the time, and looking an even sillier move now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 If he comes back to us, it will be the best deal for both clubs, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 18,000 a week. How many fans want him back now??? I wonder how that compares to Wisdom's wages. Probably less than Wisdom's wages. Didn't Sam Rush say we were only paying a small percentage of Wisdom's wage and there was no way we would be able to pay the full amount?

Wolfie20 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I might be in the minority here but I always thought Brayford was one of our defensive weaknesses - excellent going forward but not up to the quality of what's needed to take us into a genuine playoff challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Wisdom or Brayford il be happy. Brayford's wages would be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyDyer Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Think we have a better right back in wisdom. He'll do until we've got promoted. For 18k a week there are better RBs than Brayford. If he can't get in the Cardiff side, he'll struggle in our europa league charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I'd love Brayford back, perhaps not for 18,000 grand a week - but certainly 10,000 ish (which I assumed he got here anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Who is to say we would have to pay him £18,000 a week to have him back? I am sure based on his circumstances he wouldn't mind accepting a pay cut to join us again. £13,000 a week I reckon. He is hardly in a position to demand any more than that.

GlastoEls Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Wisdom by far the superior player to Brayford, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Wisdom by far the superior player to Brayford, no?you do have a good point there, but chances of us keeping Wisdom next year on loan are slim, unless we get promoted, then we may get him again, but would Liverpool want him playing in the Prem?
