The Transfer Window Rumours thread

[MOZZER2]

No doubt there will be lots of speculation in the coming days maybe keep this thread open for any news and targets that fellow posters see and hear about ?

I'll start looks like we missed out on Jordan Williams

Portsmouth have won the race to sign Barnsley defender Jordan Williams on a free transfer ahead of West Brom and Cardiff

We’re in for a Scottish midfielder that I’d not heard of before until ten minutes ago according to this.

Raheem Conte has signed a new contract with the Bluebirds

The 21-year-old has agreed a one-year deal in the Welsh capital, with the option included for a further year!

Interesting that WOL indicate that bulut and the board will sit down next week to thrash out transfer plans - if this is true I wonder what has been happening to date as surely this was one of the agreements that bulut wanted nailed down before he signed according to "sauces"

Re: As the Transfer Window Opens Today

We should be used to football speak by now so 'nailed down' translates as please give me money now as I don't know what's happening.

That's shocking if true. Transfer plans for the summer should have started weeks ago

Shocking if you're new to Cardiff City. Shocking if you expect a decent level of foresight and planning at a football club.

Not shocking at all with this regime.

Agreed, that article came as a surprise - complacent is the word that springs to mind.

Based on recent behaviour say over the last three or four seasons it's like the board don't want success as surely they can't believe that this approach is a recipe for success - revolving door of managers, money wasted paying them off, delays in appointing managers, reliance in loans, slow or late recruitment, allowing ourselves to fall into an embargo, lack of understanding of the FFP rules, lack of communication with the fans, etc and some of these repeated as errors or misjudgements

Staggering really but as someone else said not a surprise anymore

Re: As the Transfer Window Opens Today

Still, I've heard that plans are well in hand. Can't moan about that though.

What are the chances of it being true, bearing in mind that it is WOL reporting it.

Re: As the Transfer Window Opens Today

WOL also ‘reported’ that City were in for Williams from Barnsley but further down the exact same article stated that ‘contacts at the club stated that this reported interest was wide of the mark’. They dont have a clue.

But in the absence of anything else from the club then people will fill the silence - and don't say why should the club tell us their plans as they are asking for money from us and those on the fence probably want some assurances that the shit show of recent seasons is going to change - for mugs like me I'm already in and paid up
