If that was the case, a loan deal would have suited us. Still hopeful we can get Whelan in as well, just not sure if it's an either / or situation or whether we would be in a position to sign both, if possible.

droid Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) So haven’t bothered watching YouTube videos of him as we’ve been stung by that before, however did watch an interview with him on signing for Cardiff 2 years or so ago. “I like defence and to attack, I bring a lot energy” Could be exactly what we’re looking for.

Zico Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I haven’t seen him play so can’t get too excited but the Cardiff fans seem to like him and he sounds like he can give us the bite in midfield to let Walker and Clare play.

martoon Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Exciting signing if it goes through, particularly if permanent. A wee bit of research suggests he's a cut above what we already have and of a quality that's above what our budget would traditionally allow. Craig has signed well this window. No doubt about it. If he can get this squad functioning and, with luck, avoiding long term injuries, we could be in for a good season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's only got a year left on his Cardiff contract and they're willing to let him go out on loan for that year, it's pretty much irrelevant to them if he goes on a permanent deal instead, other than the financial details. He's not going to be getting the same wages from us as he's been on, so if he comes on loan, Cardiff are likely to have to keep paying a substantial percentage of his contracted wages for the season, topping up what we're willing and able to pay. On the other hand, if it's a permanent deal, they might have to pay him a lump sum in partial settlement of his contract. The bottom line is though, either way he leaves Cardiff for good.
