Crayfish wrote:My concern about signing him and paying money for him ,minor thing really, is that he a bit crap. His last two clubs have been Hearts and Middlesbrough. He scored 5 goals in 40 games for them and has 2 in 20 for Middlesbrough. He is basically a hard working lower division donkey who is pretty useless at this level. My guess is he was one of Warnocks more idiotic signings for Middlesbrough and they are trying to get their money back.

If we sign him I expect him to be almost wholly useless for us and given our fianancial situation we may have to sign one or two players like that but to pay money for him would be crazy.

Although he was quite good at CCS earlier this season in general I tend to agree with this.
What we need if Moore goes is a striker who’s got a half decent record at this level.
Mind you we were told Collins was like that :roll:

Steve Morison contracted Chris Wilder yesterday and was told yes he is available due to their new sign.

Morison was told Boro want around £500,000.

Morison asked if we could do a deal on having on loan and wages arrangements.

Wilder said he is for sale, no offer was put in from Cardiff.

Meanwhile Millwall and Hull have since shown interest.

Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder has confirmed Cardiff City are interested in signing Uche Ikpeazu on loan.


"We are looking at around offers of £500,000 for striker Uche Ikpeazu, Cardiff I understand want him on loan and an agreement on his wages, it will be put to my board."

"Millwall, West Brom and Hull have also shown interest."



Friday 28th January 2022



This Forum reported this week that Cardiff had made contact with Boro on Wednesday morning regarding taking the out-of-favour striker on loan until the end of the season.

The Bluebirds are keen to add to their forward ranks before the closing of the transfer window on Monday and the 26-year-old is a player they are particularly interest in.

Cardiff were keen on Ikpeazu last summer, too, but eventually opted to sign free agent James Collins following the end of his contract at Luton Town.

But Cardiff may well get their man this time around. The Bluebirds are understood to be keen on signing the player on a temporary basis, while Boro are keen to offload him permanently and would prefer a sale.


We understand, though, a deal will only be struck with Cardiff if Boro allow him to leave on loan. Millwall, West Brom and Hull City are the other clubs thought to be interested.



CHRIS WILDER:

“There’s been interest from Cardiff,” said Wilder this morning. “In fact, there’s been interest from a few Championship clubs.

“It’s for the best for the boy to go and play football, 100 per cent. He’s not involved with us, I’ve made it perfectly clear, so that decision now rests with the boy and his agent.”

"We are looking at around offers of £500,000 for striker Uche Ikpeazu, Cardiff I understand want him on loan and an agreement on his wages, it will be put to my board."

Cardiff's pursuit of Uche Ikpeazu is off


“They only wanted to sell him or if a loan we pay all his wages, so we move on.”

Is this actually true? As far as I recall virtually everyone thought Moore was a great signing (and they were right) and we got a bargain thanks to Wigans problems. I may be wrong but I can’t remember anyone saying Moore was unproven and the transfer committee had got it wrong. Who were these people? If there were any they were in a tiny minority.

I mean to be fair there are some who criticise Tan whatever he does so it probably is.

I thought that but I was quoting from their message board.
I think he could be a good signing especially if Giles comes back.

I have read Doughty is going from Wolves to Stoke so they’ll be keeping Giles.

Boro confirmed about Uche?




Steve Morison:

Yeah he is a player who did well against us previously.

We have looked at loads of options, we need help.

It’s not something we are going to be able to do. They want a permanent deal and we are not in that market, we cant buy, only loan at this moment,

Not surprised they are not bothered he has never started a league game for them and only came on as a substitute five times to no great effect. They must barely know who he is. Seems an odd signing even as a loan. Who at Cardiff even had heard of him?
