Solid signing but we need a bit of class in midfield.
We need numbers too, and that’s a decent fee for someone who can do a job.
Definitely need a little bit of class in there too though.
Taken me a bit by surprise but can't help feeling that either Gunnar or Marko will not be signing. Either way we need more quality in midfield. Bryson will be a squad player.
I like bryson his energy and non stop running will be needed when we're chasing shadows in some games
I'm a bit underwhelmed
I like him and I hope this is true
Likewise.
I like Bryson's workrate and attitude, but we need more than an ankle-biting terrier.
Then again, I expected a bit more from him last season based on what I had seen of him for Derby in previous seasons - and maybe he has that 'more' to offer? Or is that just wishful thinking?
Back filling for year after next perhaps, solid performer ,not premiership quality ,but will be able to come off the bench with energy and commitement to close out a games , and cover for potential departure of Gunnerson , at that price he's cheap buy.
Seems a big fee for a ‘squad player’ who wasn’t 1st choice in the Championship, unwanted by Derby and not a youngster either.
As suggested it seems to say Gunnar won’t be signing
I'm disappointed by the resigning of Bryson. As you say, he arrives seconds too late, the opposition just pass it easily around him, he doesn't even have a sense as to where the ball might be played next, so as to try to cut off that option.
His passing and ball retention not great either - actually, it's a bit unfair to criticise his ball retention as he seldom gets hold of the ball in the first place!
I can only hope he comes on in the last 10 minutes of games to hussle the opposition, that's all he's good for.
Underwhelming.
I agree with virtually every word of that. I would say that Bryson did improve a bit towards the end of the season, but I don't get why we should be interested in a box to box midfielder who will be 32 during the coming season and has never played in the Premier League in his life. However, although I'm sure our manager will not lose one second's sleep about this if he finds out, it's just more proof that Neil Warnock's idea of what makes a good central midfield player would appear to be vary an awful lot from mine!
I thought central midfield was the weakest part of the team last season, but by, apparently, putting this offer in for Bryson, having talks with Liverpool about Grujic coming here for a second loan spell and offering Gunnar what we are told is a very good deal, our manager has to be saying that he was satisfied with how things went in that part of the team doesn't he?
All things considered, I'm pretty satisfied with our signings up to now and, having expressed my bafflement at some of his selections before the start of matches we ended up winning last season, I accept that he may just know more about the game than me, but I fear that good work in other positions could be undermined if we go into the Premier League season with a central midfield that, too often. struggled to impose itself in the Championship.
The fee is peanuts for someone who knows us, won't have a problem integrating and can do a decent job. He's a better passer of the ball than Gunnarsson and works his ass off. I'll be happy if he does join.
I understand this signing but I'm sure all of us can agree we are waiting for more.
Cardiff definitely need to strengthen central midfield beyond this potential signing of Bryson. They also need to bolster right back and add an option upfront. Hoping Cardiff can attract some real quality before the window closes on August 9th.
We need 25 players how many have we got so far ?
