Complete Homer Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Wonder if Cardiff matched his demands out of desperation or if Hoilett was struggling to attract interest. Cardiff is in a relegation battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardiff is in a relegation battle Desperation is my guess. I think the the owner Vincent Tan, who spent plenty of money trying to get to the Premier League (and who quickly got relegated back to the Championship after he got there) will spend plenty more money to avoid falling into League 1.

He made sensible signings of relatively low profile players who added a lot to the squad. I doubt that Warnock would have offered Hoilett anywhere near the £50 kpw that QPR were reportedly paying him so my guess is that the truth is somewhere in between. At this point, I'm just glad Hoilett will be playing again. Hopefully he approaches his next move in a different way. dyslexic nam and Ruffian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Judging by Cardiff City forums it seems they are quite excited that Hoilett has signed. I think that is more of a reflection on how bad the club has been as opposed to how good Hoilett has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Wow..after all that he ends up with Cardiff? I wonder if they caves to his outlandish salary expectations. he should get plenty of time on the pitch which is good - hopefully they avoid relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Arguably as destructive an environment as QPR as a club. Nice ground and set up though. Just glad he is employed again and will be a starter there as Warnock rates him from QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Has anyone heard how many years the deal is for? Hopefully he gets some regular playing time, they end up mid-table (they were predicted to finish 8th by Sky Sports, and he doesn't find himself without a club 4 years down the road when we need him in top match fitness.

gator Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Not a whole lot of love for the departed Hoilett at QPR, this isn't uncommon when a player moves to a league rival though: http://www.wearetherangersboys.com/forum/showthread.php?194290-Hoilett-to-Cardiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he joined us, a great deal of our good attacking play has been coming through him. Nice to see that discrepancy between club and country working in our favour for once! (even if the club is our beloved Rangers!). Agree Doug, no complaints of him in a Canada jersey and as you know or if you read back several pages in this thread, I was very skeptical due to his QPR form! We do have another QPR fan on this board btw, he's Brian, Areathrasher! Edited October 7, 2016 by gator Lofty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I know when Hoilett first signed I was not happy about the delay in him committing to Canada, the reasons why he chose so, and would only sway my opinion if he consistently committed to the maple leaf. After a year, I think I've come around to him, to the point where I am excited that he has signed with Cardiff City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I hope he partners well with Chamakh; since I saw him play in Ligue 1 (and not later in the Premier League), I always rated him highly! They could work wonders together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zem Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Making his debut at home against Bristol (who are currently 5th). It's the end of the first half, he's apparently been very good so far, causing all sorts of problems for the Robins down the left flank. Cardiff are up 1-0 on a penalty, their first goal at home in two months. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
