Greg Halford - Signing confirmed

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Any good at the old bicycle kick?

[Llanedeyrnblue]

Played under Warnock last season presumably. Certainly fits the versatile criteria.

He can fix bikes too

It'll be interesting to see how this develops.

Ridiculous signing and further demonstrates the direction the club continues it journey on .......

Watch out sonny - he's handy.



I trust NW to know exactly why he's signed the guy, and what he expects from the signing.

Welcome Greg.

The Wurzel seem to hate him so that's good enough for me.

Welcome Greg

Weve signed a defender from Rotherham who is 32. Rotherham are hardly setting the league on fire with their defensive record - so this one is a bit puzzling to be honest. Coming in for cover for Manga I guess who will be away for most of January - if not the rest of the season.

Seeing as 'our Neil' has worked with him before - he must have something about him.

Bamba is 32 and he'd been released by his former club. Assuming the transfer fee is minimal or he was a free transfer, given his experience and flexibility and our current position, this seems a very sensible signing.

Off to the development squad before the end of the month is my guess.

Looks like he's played everywhere on the pitch except left back and left midfield during his career - he's even trained part time as a goalkeeper during his time at Portsmouth and Sheffield United.

Thats a relief then. First day in training get him doing solely shooting practice, we might need him to do a Paul Went

Another real tough no compromise footballer in the Gunnerson , Sol Bamba mold, I can see where we are going as a unit , we will be an uncomfortable side to play against soon.

Using him as a defensive midfielder to close out games, especially when you add in the long throw he'll bring, may be very useful. He could also act as a third CB in a similar scenario or a second/third striker if we're going the other way.

Versatile, cheap, known by Warnock. It is a low risk signing.

I have always hated Halford. I always hated Warnock.

But now they are ours.

This is a great fit for Cardiff City. For the first time for a while I care about my club. The Villa game was brilliant entertainment.

It would be difficult to logically explain this feeling about the "fit". But illogically I do like it.

I heard a rumour that Rotherham told him to get on his bike when he said he wanted to leave

Even better than the Jessops one ;)


Sounds like Warnock is looking to put together a band of gutsy battlers.

That is what most of us like I'd wager, and what we have missed for a fair few seasons.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF!!!!!!!!

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF!!!!!!!!

We've heard. What about Cardiff?

[Barry Shitpeas]

2-0

A quick look shows that, since being beaten once again in Cardiff back in mid October you have won just 2 of your 14 games. I can see why you're so confident.

By the way I'm going 1-1.
