OFFICIAL “ CARDIFF CITY SIGN WILL FISH “

£1m initial fee plus up to £2m on add-ons, Manchester United have a 30% sell on fee




We are delighted to welcome Will Fish to Cardiff City Football Club.

The central defender joins from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

The 21-year-old has signed a four-year contract with the Bluebirds, lasting until the summer of 2028.

Will came through the ranks at Old Trafford and made his First Team debut for the Red Devils in May 2021.

Since then, the defender has gained experience on loan at Stockport County and Hibernian, making 66 appearances for the latter across two seasons.

Speaking about his move to the Welsh capital, Will said: “I’m delighted. It took a while to get it over the line, but now I’m here, I can’t wait to get going and embrace it.

"It’s a huge club. The direction that the Club want to go in, you’ve seen a lot of good signings in this window. Being a part of that is really exciting and I’m happy to be here. Hopefully, I can do my best for the team.

"I’ve spoken to people that have played here in the past and they only said good things. I’ve heard amazing things about the fans. I spoke to David Marshall, who was here and the fans love him. That just shows that if you do well, they’ll back you forever. I just can’t wait to step out on the pitch.

“Marshy has played the game for a long time. I dropped him a text and the first thing he said was what an amazing football club it is. Marshy, when you speak to him, you know that what he tells you is right, so I have full belief that I’m making the right decision.”

After adding his seventh signing of the window, City boss Erol Bulut said: “He is a young defender, who has been at Manchester United for many years, so has had a good education from them.

"For the last two years he was in Hibernian, so we watched him and we were interested in him in January too.

“We hope that he will progress with us in a good way. He is still 21 years old, just starting his career and he is good on the ball, good in duels, so he will add to our playing style.

"Of course, he has to push to be in the team. He is not quite ready to play yet, so he will be with us after the international break and hopefully he can add positive things to our game.”

Welcome to the Welsh capital, Will!

He's come to the right plaice. It's a bream move for the lad. Hope Bulut gets a tuna out of him!

It appears premier league clubs are letting these youngsters go at reasonable price but putting a higher sell on clause to sweeten the sale. Either that they're being greedy...

Didn’t Annis say we paid nothing upfront and glen was told to put out a fee?

Lets hope he'll scale to great heights for us. I hope we've netted a good one. Hopefully he'll get the cod for Saturday.

On a more serious note, I see that Bulut says he isn't ready for the first team! Why??

He picked up an injury on tour.

Welcome

That may well be right.

I’m only going off what Fabrizio Romano put out, he may well have got the information from Dalman as well or saw what was being said. I don’t know.

Not really a big issue because he’ll only miss two league games. Unlikely to have been involved on Sunday anyway because he won’t have signed in time to have many training sessions with the team.

It was known that he wouldn’t be ready immediately because of the injury he got on Man Utd’s tour in the US.

He did not say that, what he did say is he would not be ready for sunday

Another player signed who isn't fit to start.

He is fit but what Bulut did say is he would not be ready for sunday he does not have an injury!

Hard to tell how good some of these signings are. Either way though it's nice to see us spend a bit of money. Possibly as well (add ons not incl) it looks like the McGuiness fee we received upfront has covered all the upfront fees paid out which is great.

Ideal scenario is we get a left back and striker in on loan, and shift out Wintle, Rhino and Romeo.
Would also expect more youngsters to leave on loan to get some first team game time. That leaves us with a good squad to take into the season.

Just need Mr B to come good now and get this team to click. If he can do that before Sunday, amazing!!!

Correct

Ok thanks Annis

I'm not sure he would get in front of Chambers, Daland or Goutas anyway.
