Gary Madine

When we talk about failed strikers, it is difficult to look past Gary Madine, let's face it.
He tried and he tried, but the longer it went on, the back of the net appeared smaller and smaller in the eyes of Madine.
Warnock signed him from Bolton for a sizeable £6m back in January 2018, but failed to score a single goal in the 28 appearances he had in a Cardiff City shirt.
After a miserable two years, punctuated by a loan move during which he helped Sheffield United earn Premier League promotion, Madine was finally cut from his contract early this January.
Again, the transfer fee didn't help him, but for a man who makes a living scoring goals, not finding the back of the net in almost 30 games is frankly unforgivable.
A £6m mistake and a player who will not look back fondly on his time in South Wales.
Neither will the fans.
