Lack of rumours - The rumour thread

[North Cardiff Blue]

Quite. If hes not spamming the board with his obsession with Drakeford hes cutting and pasting the board to death.

And you're spamming it with negativity and moaning misery

Wake up it's 11:35 - Drippy has long gone, you mention him more than me now!

And everyone is a moan or gripe to drag everyone down to your miserable level.

Thought he did a solid job at Luton, I’d suggest he’d come straight in as the #1

Would also free up a loan space assuming Runnerson goes back.

[the other bob wilson]

Presumably his contract is up in the summer, so I can’t see there being much of a fee involved.

We need a keeper if Runarsson is going to be released from his loan and I assume Horvarth would be first choice, but is he that much better than Alnwick? I honestly don’t know because he didn’t make much impression on me last season when he was at Luton - can’t remember him having much to do in his two games against us, he was beaten from a long way out by Sawyers down here, but it didn’t strike me as a goalkeeping error at the time.

Was thinking the same. Would be 3 loan spots available then with Panzo and Ugbo already gone. That could be the route this window is heading.

Played almost every game in their promotion season so can't be too bad.
Won a penalty shootout at Wembley to clinch promotion (although as I recall Coventry scored their 1st 5 then skied one.)

there is a school of thought that if we are not going up this season (we aren't) then we may as well send all the loanees back and play the youngsters instead

This does depend on who we can get in permanently

I hope we do.

we should be in building for the future mode, whether that is via recruitment or development of existing players

I’d keep Grant, Bowler and Runnersson can go tomorrow

Exactly, we have little chance of going up this season. Let's not fill the squad with expensive gambles who could blight future recruitment/budgets

[PhyllisStant]

Kostas Manolas - just paid up his contract with current club. Another addition to the CCFC Greek massive?

A 32 year old centre back, just what we need. Contract terminated on 17th Jan according to Wikipedia

[the other bob wilson]

He’s played for some big clubs and the Style of play entry here makes him sound too good for us.

Used to watch him when he was Roma, quality player, but that was 5 years ago and more.

I sense that’s sarcasm but we only need someone as back up.

They make him sound like Franco Baresi, edited by his mother i reckon

This is what i think, although relegation still isn't out of the question for us. Especially the way we're playing

Isn't Oliver Denham the backup?

[2b2bdoo]

Isn't Oliver Denham the backup?

I wouldn’t have thought so. He struggled before he left and hasn’t done anything on loan. Probably be pushing to start in the U23.
