The Transfer Rumour Thread

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

We only bought him 3 seasons ago for £1.75mill can't see a world where, other than a free transfer he leaves us. Same with Willock, Chambers, Howarth & Alnwick

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

The red card at Norwich was kind of the straw that broke it for me regarding Chambers. I love him as a CDM, but the weekly payment is just too high for League One, and he's genuinely awful in the CB role. Begrudgingly, I would sell to solve the wages situation.

I'm not ready to write off Talla straight away. We must not forget that we're a League One team now, we're going to have less viable options to pick from. I'd give him a chance.

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

Who the feck is offering anything for Ethan Horvath? Hasn't been a regular goalie for years and statistically and by the eye test one of the worst goalies in the entire Championship last year. Robertson and Colwill also shown nothing to show they are Championship regulars for a top half side.

well that's a matter of opinion regarding Horvath but still got 2 years to run on his contract and has played champions league and Europa League football in his career . Probably on a decent wage too

Been talk of a current championship side interested .

My personnel opinion is we should look elsewhere for league 1 anyway for a new goalkeeper

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

I still rate Alnwick honestly, criminally underrated and rarely has a bad game. But yes, we do need a Horvath replacement, just for the wages alone.

Hang on... you want to get rid of a player who you love when he's playing in our midfield?

Chambers' performances were so bad at the heart of our defence that, when he was switched to midfield, it was almost like a case of 'things couldn't get any worse'.

He reaches the heights of mediocrity at best in midfield. What are his strengths as a player, I genuinely don't know?

Got to agree with this, in an ideal world we’d be able to off load a few of our current squad and save the wages
Usually you’d ask who will buy them, with our performance this last season, you’d be asking who wants them??

We didn’t have enough battlers, enough players with a bit of fight in them and in truth enough players who actually gave a shinny shite!!

Our recruiting off late has been shocking with one or two notable exceptions

Will these guys care? Will they bollocks

No stomach for a fight, no interest in trying to improve themselves and no professional pride

There might be a few of them on the phone to their agents to get a move away, good luck with that

Collectively they are a shambolic group

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

5 million Robinson, is a fairy tale, as I said the squad is not worth 5 million! Robinson is a million quid at best and that's with add ons. There's a reason we are a lower league club! We have lower league players!!

The squad is worth much much more than £5m. Salech is worth that on his own. Robinson is a proven goalscorer in the Championship. I would say £2.5 - £3m for him.

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

Any player with a proven goal-scoring record is worth money. Robinson and Salech would both fetch good money, though £5m for Robbo might be stretching it a bit. If it was me, I'd look at bids for Robinson, but try to keep Salech.

Chambers has had fantastic presence and build-up play in the CDM role, it's a role that plays more to his strengths as a player. He was consistently getting among our top 3 rated players on the pitch every game in the role.

The problem is wages. I've seen anywhere from £33k to £45k speculated, and in League One, that's insane money. Given we obviously need to cut costs next season, that's going to have to be one of the decisions we make.

Yep he was pretty solid for us this season and would be more than happy keeping him our no1.

Much more important problems to solve

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

Here’s the reason we need to keep Salech & Robinson plus find at least another 2 strikers who can score in L1
City are at least 30 goals per season light of being a contender.

Birmingham had 22 different goalscorers, 8 of them had 5 or more goals.

Last 5 seasons.

Birmingham 84. Wrexham 67 ….. Cardiff 48
Portsmouth 78, Derby 78 ….. Cardiff 53
Plymouth 82, Ipswich 101 ….. Cardiff 41
Wigan 82, Rotherham 70 ….. Cardiff 50
Hull 80, Peterborough 83 ….. Cardiff 66

there's a fundamental flaw with this logic

We need to move Robinson on. Davies hasn't had much of a chance yet to show his potential, and we have Reindorf as an option also. Robinson just eats too much into the wage bill and we could fetch a decent price for him still.

Don't forget Simic, he looked a tidy finisher when playing for U21's , I'm surprised he didn't get a chance towards the end of the season.

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

Now the season is done and dusted let's see what's in store for the in's and out's of our club ahead of next season . I'll kick off with this rumour

Callum Robinson is on Wrexham's radar

if true 5 million in todays market ?

Wrexham will be able to get Prem players that aren't in fav or looking for more playing time. Why! Exposure. You can't get better exposure outside!! the prem than Wrexham atm.

Croeso i Caerdydd season 1 anyone?
