YorkshireRam Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 While I wouldn't have been against the signing, £2 million for a 28 year old that has only (just) hit double figures at this level once isn't exactly incredible value... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they will be more unknown players I think. I don't see us shopping in the Championship for players. Some times that is a good thing keeps teams guessing.

This is exactly my sentiment. I wouldn't have been against this signing but certainly not at this price. He'll probably get Cardiff promoted now and I'll have to eat my words.

Cheers for now Gangway D melting on the terrace Really don't get what he offers that Glatzel doesn't though, he'll be a handy player but for that money i'd want someone slightly younger or more proven. If we're splashing 7 figures, i'd rather see us go for Toney but there'll be big competition; otherwise find a bargain from abroad in a cheaper price bracket. Spending £2m on potential mediocrity is the last thing we need right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly better value but market values were very different a year ago, i'd wager Moore would have been £3/4m upfront similar to Waghorn. It's all relative to performance output anyway; If Moore is the difference between 7th and 6th (or 3rd and 2nd), £2m is an absolute steal in terms of impact, but if they finish midtable and he contributes 8-10 goals as form suggests, it's more likely to be £2m wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I think everyone at the time knew we massively overpaid for Waghorn - friends of mine from Scotland who watch their footy regularly could not believe he went for anywhere near that price,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab a dab doo Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 One more big lump to add to all the others at Cardiff. Get your tin hats on and stand by for more aerial bombards for anyone who plays them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
