Nicky Maynard [Cardiff agree fee with West Ham]

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Madness.

It's obvious we just cannot compete with the money Cardiff et al are chucking about.

@FourthOfficial_: Rumours doing the rounds that Craig Bellamy could be set to announce his retirement despite only just signing for Cardiff

Lol

No one will want to face us in our first home game next season, we keep ending careers. This year it's Bellamy, last year it was Billy Sharp...

 

[empire]

the fee for players isnt the problem,its the wages that are,we will not break our wage structure

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

we will not break our wage structure

I know people like to whinge, but this fills me with a lot of confidence. We are still getting quality players in but we're not spunking vast amounts of money on wages and plunging into debt.

I've discussed this on here with another chap before I cant remember who, but The owners of Cardiff are very shady, i believe they have said they would put up 80million if the changes took place which they requested, however the 80million is to be invested as debt and if Cardiff don't go up the debt falls into the hands of the club. it is a little more detailed than that of course.

however if they don't go up, they are screwed.

It was a good point and a great game in my opinion. I enjoyed the Cardiff match a million times more than I did Barnsley. Give me high-quality football even if we possibly don't win over the lower league shit that Barnsley served up.

To be fair, I'm rather hoping Palace serve up a similar level of shit when we play them this season.

 

[SeagullSongs]

Isn't that their 10th signing of the summer?
A 10th place finish this season isn't looking like such a bad prospect after all...

 

[Falkor]

Maynard only going to help Finance west ham move for Carroll which now looks highly likely to happen

 

[Spimunk]

Maynard off to join Nooney

According to BBC

BBC Sport - Cardiff City set to capture West Hams Nicky Maynard

 

[Mungo_Jerry]

Cardiff are fcked if they don't go up this season and Mackay gone by Xmas if they're not top 2. Sounds like Portsmouth all over again. Give me a stable club any day. 5 years from now I'd rather be Swansea than Pompey.

 

[moggy]

Was supposedly still in big SAMs plans last month.....don't things change quickly

 

[Triggaaar]

Around £2.5m to £3m, that's the sort of fee I'd think we could compete with. Maybe wages were the issue or we've already got other options lined up.

Cardiff are fcked if they don't go up this season

I don't see why. There's nothing to suggest their owners can't afford this.
