We’re being linked with this bloke, although it looks like there’s Championship interest in him.

Signing a traditional, experienced no.5 is the only position the team/squad is crying out for. This chap appears to fit the bill. I've never seen him play, though.

Hopefully he knows how to actually defend, something we've really missed

Simic linked with a move to Osijek in Croatia.

What a fecking bizarre piece of business that would be. Sign a player for 2m euros (according to Transfermarkt), send him to Belgium, hardly play him, bring him back to Cardiff in the middle of a crisis, never play him, flog him off for (presumably) a loss. If anything underlines how this club is run it would be that.

It would be extreme Cardiff, even for Cardiff.

If we get this through the door, could be some good business. He and Fish could be our starters, giving Bagan some flexibility also.

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

Robinson and O'Dowda linked again with moves back to old clubs (Preston and Oxford).

yeah just seen that . Apparently Huddersfield were in the running too along with us

looking at the transfer news the last few days lots of players moving around whilst we're still in limbo

I have a gut feeling like last year year the players we sign before the August kick off will be signed too late

at the stage now we're less than 2 weeks before the players return back to light training

You did see the other 10 positions being played at a poor standard last last season? Or was I watching something else?

We are now a level below, so this group of players will come across opposition who will make the mistakes before we do, and i'm not attempting humour by saying that. Plenty of them will recover some form at league 1 level. The biggest concern is how many of these players are on the slide, which encompasses confidence, belief in ability and a lack of apprehension in possession, things that were abundant last season. My hope is that this group has 'Bottomed out' which should mean that the only way is up (to quote yazz and the plastic population) i still have my reservations, and i've been calling this group of players out for a long time, But maybe, just maybe, a new coach, a different mind set and some confidence can lift this bunch.

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

Sell Robinson for some OK cash.

O'Dowda, I'd miss him, but not against selling him.

I'd hope the club try to keep Robinson, as i'd say that he comes out of the mess with some credit. Same with Salech. The rest can go as far a i'm concerned, i'd not be bothered about that.

I hope you are right but from what I witnessed last season, was a group who couldn't raise a glass in a bar. Dropping down one division will not make them better players or give them a better attitude. The vast majority have pinched a living from the club for years. If they prove me wrong I will be delighted.

Let's see how many are pursued by other clubs, that will highlight how "in demand" they are,

This must be the start of the long-awaited ‘Callum Raid’ on Cardiff City!

First Callum Robinson and Callum O’Dowda, then they’ll come for Calum Chambers, and before you know it some Championship predator will be in for Callum Wintle, Callum Willock, Callum Daaland and the jewel in the crown, Callum Horvath!

Life is so cruel! :hehe:

For me, the must keeps are Salech, Robertson and Fish as they are a future core who have many years ahead of them. Obviously, circumstances can change, but I've seen enough with all three that quality is there and they can grow into having a positive role at the club.

I think it's time to cash out on Robinson, we need to cut costs, and he's 30 now.
