City sign Arsenal defender

[Michael Morris]

City bring in emergency loan central defender Semi Ajayi from Arsenal until end of season.

[Colonel Cærdiffi]

They given us a Semi.

[Steve R]

Wood you believe it?

[surge]

Is this the one that has been touting himself around the country?

[jon1959]

They given us a Semi.'Anyway, good luck to him, and after seeing what a Coq can do at Charlton, Cardiff will be hoping a good Semi will help stiffen up their defence between now and the end of the season'.

Is this the one that has been touting himself around the country? Short term he should be on the bench instead of Gabbidon.

On trial with Sunderland in January (has he 'touted' himself anywhere else?) and out of contract with Arsenal this summer.I think its just cheap cover for Connolly.

Honestly this baffles me we let out a experienced defender on loan to free up wages , then we sign another defender on loan when there is no real point as the season is effectively over for us and we end up spending more wages on someone else , only at Cardiff http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/homer.gif

I guess we are having a good look at him as a replacement for one of our better paid defenders.

And because the loan for Connolly probably has an agreement to purchase at a pre-agreed figure at the next transfer window.The emergency part is now simply the old fashioned terminology of this loan system, it doesn't apply now in any sense of the word.

Can't believe they can get away with claiming an 'emergency loan' when the club created the 'emergency'!?I was reading something the other day about Britain being the only place that has the emergency loan system and that UEAFA or FIFA wants to stop it when the current agreement ends soon. Then we'll have to be like every other country and only sign players during the transfer window.

Well done City, got a player and his high wages out with a potential fee as well, brought in a young prospect in who has potential, think Connolly was very decent squad player, we move on.
