Just to highlight that there are bargains out there if you're willing to put the groundwork in. This Argentinian kid is 21 and cost under £1.5 For Norwich from Getafe and he tore Swansea apart yesterday.

The inability of Cardiff City - for whatever reason[s] - to identify and sign these 'gems' from overseas is frustrating. Capital city in the public gaze versus a sleepy backwater..Quote:

Yet seeing Zohore's lack of character disgusts me.
I hope we find a happy medium somewhere and we can somehow incorporate better footballers into our style of play.
We've only seen 7 minutes of Zohore in the last 2 months, in a game that was already unsalvageable, so I'm not sure exactly how much we can read into his character from that.Quote:

Find it crazy people talk about Warnock like this, man got a squad of misfits promoted on a budget.Quote:

Well said sir��
Not sure any criticism is aimed specifically at the Manager - it's the club in general who seem to be at fault..Quote:

Signing players at our end is always going to be a bit of a mixed bag though, Huddersfield seem to shop almost exclusively abroad and most of their summer signings (not including their old loans) don't get a look in.Quote:

Warnock has always wasted a lot of money on signings he does not use so perhaps hes not the best man for a war chest in January.
Hes spent over 40m since last January and only Cunningham started the game last Saturday.
Where did I say don’t question or criticise him?
But the way you talk about him you’d think he’d done **** all and you could do a better job.
I merely pointed out that signing or handing out contracts to older established players is more his style than scouting unknown gems from foreign leagues. Why is that so "crazy" or "ridiculous"?!?!Quote:
