Swansea fullback Rangel: Cardiff paid too much for Medel

Swansea City fullback Angel Rangel says Cardiff City paid over the odds for Gary Medel.

Rangel is a fan of the former Sevilla man - but not at £11 million.

He told the South Wales Echo: "He's a hard-working player. He's a holding player and aggressive, we know that. He likes contact with other players.

"But I do think Cardiff paid too much money for him because he's a holding midfielder not a goalscorer.

"He is a record signing but I think he has done well, along with Steven Caulker who was great for us. Even at a young age he showed he had great potential at the back.

"I thought he was going to sign for a better team, but he signed for them so fair play."
