the only annoying part is if he gets it together and fulfills his potential here then we almost certainly won't get him back
Just some of the things being said about us after the Kipre news:
“ Cardiff are gunna struggle👍 no chance all these players click”
“Quantity over quality”
Whilst I think I agree, no offence but a lot of conjecture there. No idea what wages were paying or how wanted they were. It's the easiest window ever to pick up players with no transfer fee. Every club from the middle of the PL slashing their budgets and spending really.
We just got to hope we've picked up the right players and personally, I think his choices so far seem pretty good
There's a clear style developing, unlike when we hit the premier league, built on size and physicality and then purchase Bobby ****ing Reid.
Oh no definitely, which is why I said “I believe” and “some”. The reason I do believe is because I’ve seen other clubs linked with some of the players we’ve signed and I do believe the cost cutting to be real.
Interesting about this being the easiest window, hadn’t crossed my mind. It’s been wild so far.
WoL are reporting that we are taking Cedric Kipre, of West Bromwich Albion, on a season-long loan. He is a centre back and doesn't seem to have covered himself in glory anywhere that he's played.
I'd take Grabban or Lyle Taylor - they'd be an upgrade on what we currently have. Both in their 30s but have decent goal scoring records and having a bit of experience up front wouldn't be a bad thing.
Not that it's going to happen but I just looked at some videos of Rhys Healey playing for Toulouse and, my word, he's some player now. There's lots of rumours of him moving back to the UK back it looks like Toulouse want a decent fee.
I wonder if Morison is waiting for other clubs to sign the striker they want to make another available. I’m sure Norwich will sign a striker so makes you wonder if Hugill would be available, if he happy with him and another.
Looks as if we've signed this centre half from WBA, on loan, which leaves a striker or two.
Really dont fancy those mentioned from Notts Forest. Surely we can do better. With 4 loans still up for grabs, Morison must have an eye on a Premier loan.
I watched healy in 30+ games last season and he isn't the answer, OK he scored a lot of goals in comfortably the best team in tbe league, but the standard was awful and van bommen and spierings layed 10 chances a game on for him, whenever he didn't play ratao and oniawo scored those goals instead.
Tbf my spellings are probably way off but the mid season arrival of ratao just showed how interchangeable the forwards were with midfielders of that quality
I'll defer to your superior knowledge on that pair.
As another poster has said we might be waiting for other clubs in a bit of a transfer merry go-round which isn't ideal as often business isn't concluded until the season is underway and you often don't get your first choice targets. They've done brilliantly so far to get deals done early but I think who we get in to lead our line could make or break our season. At times last year we were creating lot but nobody was converting. Hope we can get someone in soon.

Finally we have a name to think about. Could Cole Stockton be our new striker?
