How a World Cup could change things for you: Gary Medel, Cardiff City’s courageous 26-year old defender, has made the headlines thanks to some praiseworthy performances for Chile in the World Cup in Brazil. According to the Chilean news portal La Nacion, the former Universidad Catolica player is now followed by Inter, and the club is ready to spend 11 million euro to take the player to Italy. Walter Mazzarri appreciates the player’s versatily: in fact Medel is equally adept in playing as a centre back, as he did for Chile in Brazil, and as a holding midfielder, the role he usually covers for Cardiff City. The Chilean source concludes with warning Inter that there are several other clubs looking at Gary Medel.

We are willing to spend 11 milion on an unproven player but do not want to pay 4-5 million to buy a proven and reliable defender like Rolando? I don’t think so.
Buy player after WC is not good business.
11 million? are you kidding me?!
Cardiff relegated from EPL, and he had below-avarege ratings even amongst those players… he had 4 good WC matches, for christ’s sake…
and the thing is, we kind of full in CB.
