If true, it is good to see us trying to get business done early. Free transfer or not, IMO this is positive news.

A free transfer from Rochdale....... Nicking him from under Wigans noses......ffs
God help us
I'm not sure if you noticed, but we're not in the same market as Real Madrid
And that is your answer to our ambition to sign a QPR free cast off like Mackie and a a former Rochdale free transfer winger. Your powers of observation are amazing!!
Are you sure you would prefer to support some other team more in line with your expectation/imagination?
Leicester once bought a forward from Fleetwood.....
That did not turn out to be all that bad.
Twat was offside in the Euros against us last year, but aye, he's been ok.
Simply on the basis of watching Goal Rush every week, I would be very pleased with this signing if true. He has looked brilliant on occasions.
Soz Bob. Think you posted first, but didn't see it. Though according to Bloop, this is an "exclusive" elsewhere so we're both bag out of order.
Has a whiff of believabilty about this one. The player is built like a tank!

Cardiff City set to beat competition for signature of League One winger – reports
http://www.insidewelshfootball.co.uk...ue-one-winger/
Cardiff City are close to completing a move for Rochdale winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing.
The 25 year-old is set to join the club on a free transfer from League One side Rochdale according to the HITC Sport, rejecting advances from Wigan Athletic to instead join the Bluebirds.
The pacey-winged has 10 goals in 49 appearances for the Dale this season, with goals a must for Cardiff City next season if they are to chase promotion.
Cardiff already look set to sign goalkeeper Lee Camp on a free transfer and the signing of Mendez-Laing could start a flurry of transfer dealings from Neil Warnock.
Speaking to the BBC, Warnock said the club had already lined up a number of targets and were in talks with a number of players.
“I’ve agreed a couple of fringe players but I’m looking to sign three or four players to add to that squad in the next few weeks.
“It might be the beginning of June because you can’t really move that quick nowadays but it won’t be for lack of trying.
“I think we could get three or four players in that squad in the team, I think the future is very bright.”
The signing of Mendez-Laing could see a possible departure from Cardiff City as the Bluebirds have a number of wingers at the club. Kadeem Harris has yet to sign a contract extension whilst Junior Hoilett who signed for the club back in November has yet to agree to stay at Cardiff.
To be fair he talked about 3 or 4 early squad type signings , yes lets get new in and old out ,Harris and others delaying on contracts can go in my view .
I get the feeling that this is NW's attitude. Don't think he is a man to be messed around and will be looking to get next seasons squad sorted asap
^^^This.

I'm not sure what Harris/Hoilett's angle is by delaying a deal
They've been decent for us but I can't see them getting picked up by a better club were they to leave
Taken from a Rochdale forum
Trainee at Wolves, but failed to break through into the first team. Went out on loan to lower clubs, including Posh who took a punt and signed him for £100k. Then had issues with Darren Ferguson (Google the details) and signed on a free by Dale in August 2015. Since then has become much more highly regarded. But still a modest 8 league goals this season, and a career record of 0.13 goals per appearance.

interesting part of that
'He has the confidence to knock the ball a few yards in front of his opponent and back himself to beat them for pace'
So basically Kadeem Harris!
Going on his photo's on Google images Colin will do well to keep him out of the pie shop.
He looks a tank I like signings like these if it happens a lower league player want to prove himself in the champ and above.
But are in the same market as Wigan?
It would be nice to be in the same market as a fellow Championship club.
Would be interested to hear what your thoughts were when Warnock signed Bamba and Hoilett on free transfers.
Probably offer more than Noone has for the last 3 seasons.
Really??
Bamba has presided over a -1 goal difference and Hoilett has a record of 33 league apps scoring 2 goals. Which is incidentally almost exactly the same as NOone this season (33 apps 2 goals) so no i dont think its a strong point you make? I would be far more impressed with say Ben Turner joining tiny burton on a free and presiding over a defence conceding only 2 more goals than us?? Or Scott Malone another Cardiff reject reaching the play offs with Fulham? Huds at Hudersfield Now they were three very good free transfers picked up from us
My god, you're a miserable c**t.
I do wonder if he actually supports Cardiff as all he seems to do is spread as much negativity about the club as he possibly can
Grow up you cretin..... Dont talk to me about negativity you and ot hers were spreading heap loads of it last season !!
And you are a moron but i will have a brain in the morning you on the other hand??
