Cardiff City are close to signing England international Calum Chambers from Aston Villa

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

Will it be ‘QPR Ace signs for the City’? Why are they always ‘Aces’?

We’ve had a few “jacks”, not sure about “queens” though ?

I seem to recall Jordan Murphy turning him inside out a number of times in the 4-2 win against Fulham in 2018 until he was substituted.

Yes, I just checked that because it was my recollection as well. He was taken off after just twenty six minutes that afternoon and I think it was put down to an injury, but such was the chasing he was being given by Murphy, there would have been no surprise if it had been tactical.

That said, Chambers was a clear winner of Fulham’s Player of the Season award that year after he spent most of the time playing in central midfield.

Ten years ago, the notion that Chambers would be strongly linked with a Championship club during the summer of 2024 would have seemed ridiculous as he was winning full England caps and was signing for Arsenal as a nineteen year old. So, clearly, something has gone a bit wrong with his career, but, even allowing for this,it seems an ambitious signing by City of a type I was not expecting - I wonder if Aaron Ramsey has been involved in some way if the reports this morning are true

I'd expect Ramsey has had an involvement, plenty of interest much like Willock. Was a name heard last season ahead of signing Nat Phillips, as apparently Chambers wasn't keen to go out on loan/wanted to fight for his place at Villa.

If not Ramsey, maybe Bulut dusted off one of Morison's presentations.

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

Will we have a players signed section, rather than trawling through this one when we signed something

Yes, I just read that Emery said he could go last January, but he opted to stay and fight for his place.

I’d forgotten about Willock and Arsenal, but he would definitely have been there at the same time as Ramsey wouldn’t he - heard anything about us being in for Xhaka or Iwobi?

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

Chambers would be a great signing, and along with Wilcock, shows real intent from the club.

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

If the thread on the QPR fan site is anything to go by, it seems like Ainsworth bombed him out due to a lack of effort.

That was an interesting read. Willock sounds like a talent for sure, but it’ll be interesting to see what Bulut does with him given the comments about his work rate, or rather the lack of it.

Read that about Karlan Grant from a West Brom forum, and he put a shift in every game for us.

Hardly a statement of intent. The fellas career has been on the downward slide for years and he just seemed content to pick up a wage knowing he was hardly going to get a game for Villa.

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

If these 2 signings come off, a very good start to the window. May be on frees, but will be on big wages, for us.
Still desperate for that striker, or two, otherwise we will be in same boat as last year.

When there's reportedly been plenty of interest from clubs better than our own, I'd say it is a statement.

A stament of intent to do what? Pay silly wages to beat off the opposition?
