The player who was once 'the most valuable striker in England' now facing Cardiff City crunch

Since Neil Warnock left Cardiff City, the club have only spent more on Kieffer Moore than Max Watters. It highlights just how much Cardiff invested in the promising youngster when he joined from Crawley Town 14 months ago.

At that time, Crawley chief Erdem Konyar said Watters was the "most valuable striker in England" during a spell which would see him net 16 goals in 19 games for the League Two outfit before earning a move to the Welsh capital.

“I got a call from a club from a higher league last week and they asked how much. I said £1mllion. He laughed me off. He’s got a hat-trick since then. If he rings me today I will say £2m," Konyar said the month before Watters' Bluebirds move.
