The Transfer Window Rumours thread

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

Interesting from Bulut in his press conference.

He has decided Eli King is not aggressive enough - and wants him to spend a year away working on that!

League One it is then.

Andy Rinomhota to stay. 'A fighter' according to Bulut and it seems a versatile squad player. He played right back in pre-season?

I suspect a large part of this decision is that we were unlikely to see much of either this season, same with Joel Colwill. If we are going to have a bit part player it makes sense for that person to be Rinomota, with the hope the other 2 go and develop and can properly challenge next year. Ralls and Ramsey (if he extends) will be yet another year older.

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/...sfers-33522129

needs to play for a counter attacking side to make use of his main asset - his pace.
Blackburn seemed to use szmodics very well in that respect so there might be something in it (although he would need to find a level of consistency that we haven't seen from him yet)

rangers was totally the wrong move for him

Disagree. Great experience for the lad. At 22 and 23 years old he’s played nearly 60 games including European competition for a massive club with huge expectations. Regardless of what you think of the SPL it’s pressure and scrutiny every week playing for a club like that. He’s also made a decent amount of money already in his career I assume.

Meanwhile our 21/22/23 year olds, one of whom is an ex Cardiff team mate of Mattondo and who we’ve bizarrely given a two year deal to, are being sent out on loans to the likes of Stevenage, Cheltenham and Newport to get experience.

Yeah fair points, and 6 goals and 10 assists for Rangers in 60 games is actually better than I thought he had done.

I just think at the right club he could do even better

Staying at Cardiff wasn't really a better option.

He's done better club hopping as he's not very good.

This Freds been quiet for a few days so I’ll add a couple into it.

Ryan Wintle being looked at by Millwall

& City back looking at Ali Al-Hamadi on loan from Ipswich, we lost out to them in January.

It's the calm before the storm Des, I'd be trying to sign Al-Hamadi rather than loan him, can't see him getting much game time at Ipswich now.

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

Owen Beck anyone? Only 22, good attacking left back, Liverpool looking to move him on for a couple of million and was in the SPL Team of the Year despite playing for Dundee. We need a left back and have some cash

Joining Blackburn on loan

I'm a touch concerned we don't seem to be looking at a left back, I like O'Dowda and he's done well in a position that isn't his own but there were times on Sunday where it was apparent that he isn't a defender and I wouldn't be confident going into a season with him & Collins as our left back options

To be fair, we also have Bagan, Tsunoda (when fit) and a couple of decent youngsters (Tom Davies and Luey Giles) who can cover LB. Good mix of attack and defensive minded players.

On the right, we have Ng, Chambers(?), Fish(?), and Kpakio, assuming Romeo is not in the picture. Other than Kpakio, I don't think we have a particularly attacking option there.

Stoke look like they picked a winner with Lewis Koumas.

And vice versa. He has been a flash in the pan , as he has been his whole career .
Suddenly he starts to look a bit like a footballer this season , a big bit I may add and we have to off load his wages . If he continues in the same vain he has started the season he will be a major asset wherever he ends up. Good for Wales also.

Whilst we are on Rangers I am surprised no one has snapped up Cantwell . He wants away from Rangers , doesn't like Scotland apparently, a bit of a dick on social media but a top footballer , in a similar mold to our own Mr Colwill. Fantastic skill, game changing passing ability

there were Rangers fans on twitter earlier saying they should hold out for 20m for Matondo.
