Next match: Pre-season. Saturday, July 11th | FC Midtjylland (H) @ Cardiff City Stadium, 12:30pm -
All pre-season fixtures
It's quite possible we'll bring another non-striker in over next few days.
Can only hope we are not being led down the garden path with regards to strikers, we've pulled out of other deals taking too long so I presume we have assurances and it's just a matter of timing being right.
That’s got to be that Ajax guy
I can only imagine he’s holding out to get someone in on loan but that may after 2-3 games down
So much good work done early in the window but going into our last friendly with no strikers is just bad. Surely not even dml1364 can be happy with this?
It is a bit mad isn't it. We're left with Watters, who Morison clearly hasn't fancied up to this point, so I'd be surprised if anything bar necessity has changed his mind now, and Harris, who is neither a striker nor a Championship-standard footballer. If we don't get someone with an eye for goal in next week, Norwich are likely to dick us I'd suggest.

You keep saying that we have no strikers but we have. Watters is looking better every game as well. You appear desperate to sign anybody, no matter who he is, how good he is or whether he will fit in to how we want to play. That is a recipe for disaster. There are 39 days left in the transfer window and everybody wants strikers. Also how we get on against Norwich is not going to be decided by who plays up front - it is midfield where it will be won or lost and we are looking good in that department. Stop panicking.

Morison is playing Watters, who is doing well and scoring goals. How can you say Morison doesn't fancy him ?

I like the fact that you are all positive re Cardiff don't necessarily agree with your style of delivery but that's up to you but....
Surely you can see Morison has no choice as regards Watters as he is our only senior striker at the moment - don't get me wrong I hope he comes good as I think there is a striker in there but I'm not sure he has it in him to play a press without the ball all season and that is what may let him down. Not sure what other options he has at his disposal apart from taking a big chance on youth
For me we still need two strikers to give us depth and options and then Harris could be let go as I'm not convinced with him at all

I'll stop the panicking. I've liked what I've seen so far and am fully on the Watters bandwagon.
I don't want us to sign anyone and everyone. I didn't want Michael Smith, Grabban or any of the over-the-hill strikers that WOL mentioned.
But when Morison mentions that he's been working on things since January and that striker was a position of importance, yet we're 6 days out from the season with only one actual striker in our team......
