Looking on you tube he is a striker playing through the middle?

You beat me to it mate. Seems handy and if he can play on the wing too he must be quick.

He’s definitely a striker.

It was my mistake, a few people initially said he was a winger but he’s not :thumbright:

Think forward is probably a better description. Can play through the middle or on the wing. 12 goals last year at Liege isn't bad.

Looks like the cat is out of the bag on Wilfred Kanga then. Cardiff have been fearful of another team making an 11th hour attempt to gazump them, hence kept it closely under wraps. But all things being equal he’ll be a Bluebird by Tuesday night, the striker they’ve wanted

Looks good on YouTube, good in the air and quick. :bluescarf:

Don't know much about him but looks decent enough.

Valued at 4 million…. Apparently they have turned down 5 million euros this summer already.

Clever business for us to include option to buy hopefully we are learning from our mistakes by letting to many good loan players walk away after successful spells

Scored the same number of goals (12) as Issac Davies for a better team in the Belgium League and yet most people on here don’t rate one of our own but think we have made a great signing?

Better pedigree maybe? Different type of striker? I’ve seen Davies play and don’t rate him.

To be fair to IGov he did call this one.

I’ve just checked the post he said to look closely at and there is a K an A a N a G and another A in the content of the post.

Yes be interesting to see where they’ve turned down 5million euros and sent him on loan ??

If they did there must be an obligation to buy from us maybe ?

Sort of a fair point.

I’m one who doesn’t rate Davies and stand by that.

Will wait until I see Kanga play before I judge him. But his market value and the fact he’s around prime age for a striker encourages me. Also appears to have physical strength so unlikely to be bullied by Championship centre backs, you can’t say the same about Davies.

Would also add that Ugbo scored more than Daka and Iheanacho last season, doesn’t make him a better player.

I did see a German journalist tweet something about a month ago that they wanted €6m for him.

We have an option to buy in the deal but no obligation.

I wonder if this new guy and Davies will play up top together.

Things are looking up.
I bet he’s got a leap on him.

Why can we never bring in a prolific striker that can actually shoot us up the league?

Mc cormack. Bothroyd. Chopra ,Earnie , Dale, Moore ,Thorne was a top end spend.
