Gary Madine (1 Viewer)

[Briles]

Just seen has left Cardiff by mutual consent.

Didn't do too well for them by all accounts.

Worth grabbing on a free if we could afford his wages?

Is he going to Sunderland or something

Is he going to Sunderland or something

Nothing been confirmed, just hearsay on their forums I believe.

 

[wal3590]

absolutely not

 

[clint van damme]

in this league, definitely, but we couldn't afford his wages.

 

[SkyBlueCRJ]

No. He was on £12K a week at Cardiff.

 

[skybluesam66]

didnt do much last time here in this league

 

[Cigarfingers]

Last thing we wanna do is sign someone for the sake of signing someone then have to sell a regular to pay for them

 

[covcity4life]

isnt he a trouble maker?

could affect squad morale

Well that depends, how many arrests/convinctions for assault do you need before you are considered a trouble maker?

Yeah, the trouble is he’s utter shite.

As Bolton fans jokingly nicknamed him.... "Gary Madine..... the washing machine'

 

[coop]

No thank you

Why? Nowhere near as good as Biamou, so what could he add. Wasn't great on his first visit!

Wages

That’s really not the only reason for not signing him.

 

[cc84cov]

That’s really not the only reason for not signing him.

Also he’s shit

I’ll take Leon Clarke tho

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I’ll take Leon Clarke tho

I’ve already had the tattoo of him ‘uncrossed out’! Can’t wait!

 

[torchomatic]

Ah yes, the "goal machine".

I hope that's a joke, he's a better player than Biamou as his career record suggests.

Can you remember when he was here? Utter shite!!

 

[Grendel]

Can you remember when he was here? Utter shite!!

He scored 3 goals in 10 games

I assume the Biamou comment is a joke

 

[fernandopartridge]

Can you remember when he was here? Utter shite!!

Yeah I can, thought he was OK in both spells albeit very young in his first. The second time he was playing in a very poor side indeed but did OK. He's a better player than Biamou who is hugely overrated on here.

 

[fatso]

People banging on about wages is rediculous, he's just LEFT Cardiff, therefore he is UNEMPLOYED, therefore he's on NO WAGES.
Whatever he was on before is totally irrelevant now.
FFS, I give up, some people are clueless.



However, I still wouldn't have him back.

Even if he halved his wage demands it would be too much for us and most clubs at this level, he's not going to accept a vast drop when he's 29 and really in his peak earning days.

Madine’s record in the Championship is similar to Biamou’s at L2. In L1 his record is about 1 in 3 - I can’t believe he’s actually being compared to Biamou

Shame he’s not still at Cardiff we could swap him for Biamou

His record in the Championship is very similar to Biamou’s at L2.

In L1 he has around a 1 in 3 record

That changed from “Gary Madine the goal machine” as he banged a few goals in at some point for them.

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

Cardiff paid a big fee for him which they have written off? What a waste. I didn’t think he was very good, particularly second time around.

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

They paid something insane like £6m for him, quite a sum to write off for them.

 

[The coventrian]

No he's shite.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Presumably he’s had a decent wedge to pay off his contract also.

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

Yeah you'd think so. I remember thinking it was a big fee at the time considering he'd not exactly been hammering them in.

Id doubt City could match his wage demands but even if we could he surely isn't match fit which would be a big risk to take on a January signing
