Who writes this stuff? It is absolutely awful. There's spelling mistakes, factual errors and some of it is just plain wrong?

Kimbo is running past Matty Kennedy but they've put Connolly, and somehow in a window where we signed Velikonja, Kimbo was our worst singing.
Please can we have Phil Smith back?
"Some of Cardiff's recent summer signings have been brilliant, but others have not been so good"
Absolutely electric writing.
Not that I'd ever get paid to write anything.
No idea how he can said Saadi is a good signing due to his form for a different team. Then say Guido B is a bad signing. Agree with most.
In fairness, I wanted to pull him up on that but our permanent signings in the summer of 2015 were Saadi, Ajayi, Tamas, Weymans and Blaise. On the basis that Saadi actually played a league game, he's probably the best.Quote:

Kimbo bummers keeping quiet these days
Please tell me thats written by a City blogger and not a paid sports journalist?
I'd forgotten about Weymans. Wasn't he supposed to be a genuine transfer coup, a real star of the future? He's only 19 but we've heard nothing of him since he signed.Quote:

Yes, the unknown quantity sounds more like it. Not knocking the kid whatsoever, but I suspect that if he was a real potential Belgian star of the future, he wouldn't be with us.Quote:

The first 6 were unmitigated disasters and cost combined more money than Cornelius in transfer fees and wages.
I don't know why, but I've got this image in my head now of Weymans being stuck with his suitcases in PSV's reception area while his agent frantically rings around club after club!Quote:

OGS signed Eikrem, Daehli, Berget, Jones, Fabio and Cala in the Prem. Fabio was probably a success, and Daehli could be a good player but the rest, the less said about them the better.Quote:
