Good luck to him. However he wouldn't have been sold to our nearest rivals if it had been thought he'd have stayed fit enough and been good enough to be our first choice championship left back. Lets hope we got a decent deal over the fee.
As Rhoys still had 3 years left on his contract at CAFC, this was the solution to a injury hit career for us. If after the 9 different injuries over the last 3 seasons, Feet,ankle, hamstring, Thigh etc, Wiggins was back at 100 % fine, but it took him quite a few games to peak,(his words) then another injury would come along. As i said before, Wiggins at his best was a great sight, but you can't ignore the facts.
Hasn't been the same player since the injuries so not that sad to see him go, but genuinely hope he does well - fantastic pro for us and in the promotion season he was brilliant.
I'm lead to believe the fee was no way near 750k and more towards the 250k mark.
I don't rate him since the injuries he has had...IMO he did not look the player he was at all. Lots of mistakes,easy to get past..Before his injuries he was a very good player..
We could of cashed in at the right time... Unfortunately you no how it is... player who could be prone to injuries teams look to off load....
So just two men standing. One with the knee issue and the other in the autumn of his Career. I hope Chris plays at least another 150 games for us and JJ is involved in coaching from next season with CAFC.
I really liked Wiggins. He deserves better. Will miss him. I do wish him well
I don't understand this comment. He is moving from a team where he was probably third choice, to a club where he will be challenging to be a starter. How on earth does he "deserve better"? Maybe he is on improved wages too? Do you know he isn't?
Hopefully a change of medical scene might do him good - sorry to see him go. Try as might I just can't whip up the same enthusiasm about the current band of motley imports as the likes of YK, Morro, Wiggins, Cort, BWP etc...realize that times move on and even this team were newboys that swept out the likes of Francis, Doherty, Hayes and Bailey. Still it was a special era - one of the best in modern CAFC times.
Gutted to see him go. A real class player in a completely different league to Fox. Would have kept him personally, if he can get his injuries in check he will easily be one of the best LB's in this division. That said, if he is on good money and our budget is tight then it is probably a necessity.
Leaves us woefully weak on the left side with Harriet on the way out, Moussa continually injured, Edwards and THD far too young/inexperienced to know whether they will ever make it. That leaves Bergditch who is, as yet unproven but seems to have good pedigree, Fox who gives everything and I will always support but to me is League 1 player and worryingly Cousins being played out of position.
Our first 11 looks fine but the squad is still pretty weak I fear.

And Caballos can play wide left. How many left sided players do we need.
And that's not even including Archie Edwards, who is going to be knocking on the door very soon...

They've got one of our players who has a League One winning medal so means that they are now the League One Champions from that season

This leaves solly, Jackson and to an extent cousins from the league 1 season...

One of the big earners here too so more of a benefit to our wage structure
Anyway, everybody knows it's a MASSIVE move...
