Bluebirds transfer rumours

Re: Bluebirds transfer rumours

Collins played 30 times in the Bundesliga 2 seasons ago. Let's hope he adapts a bit quicker to the Championship than the last player we signed from Germany...

Re: Bluebirds transfer rumours

Signing all these lower league players, journeymen and unheard of foreigners will either be a stroke of genius or end in relegation. Maybe they will come later in the window but we’ve got to sign some proven players as well.

I've said for a while that if you keep signing League 1 and 2 players (or poor/old Championship ones) you'll end up with a League 1 or 2 side. Not strictly true if you sign the best ones but last year we flirted with relegation.

To be fair he's got lots to sign to make up the numbers and at least he's getting in early, unlike some years when we're still faffing around in August.

I always remind myself that this board is not generally how the stadium feels on match days - it helps me a lot and I remain "excited" for the season ahead 👍👍

Makes not one bit of sense.

That’s most probably because you haven’t had your second cup of coffee and are not fully awake yet

30 appearances in 2019/20 while SC Paderborn finished rock bottom of the Bundesliga, 19 appearances this season as they finished mid-table in 2. Bundesliga - the division Robert Glatzel has scored bags of goals in. Collins is 28 in August.

I’d say this is the least inspiring signing so far, but hopefully he’s being brought in mainly as cover for Bagan.

I am nearly home from work, I most definitely am on the ball today.

This season he missed games due to AFCON, and also there was a contract dispute (ie he didn't want to sign one!). He's also made 7 starts fro Nigeria since the start of 2019 (and missed 2 because he had COVID). Glen Williams suggesting he's here because of his versatility, which suggests to me he is a squad player?

Re: Bluebirds transfer rumours

We have a lot of players to get in with no money apparently.

I can't say I'm excited by any of the signings but given I've seen none of them play at all I also can't be too disappointed yet.

At least from what I understand of them there will be more pace in the team. So the football might be poor still but at least it won't be so slow.

Hopefully we can get a few decent loans towards the end of the window.

I've been excited every pre season since 1959 it's what silly supporters do!

Re: Bluebirds transfer rumours

Seems to be plenty of talent floating about

1978 for me and yes it is and now my son for the last 18 years since he was nine is the same - love it and the love the ride 👍

Are you saying well lose the ball faster or more frequently?

And the one before that.

Especially as the coaching staff have not demonstrated much ability to build a team greater then the sum of its parts.

Re: Bluebirds transfer rumours

The Dylan Levitt links seem to have gone quiet. Shame as he would be a great signing for us. What fee do you think Man U/tribunal would demand?
