Re: Bluebirds transfer rumours

the song opportunity is a plus

If he's half as good as the song he will be a great acquisition.

If Bale was at the training ground on Tuesday(?) doing his LAFC medical, he'd have known. I doubt this has come as any surprise to anyone at the club.

Says in this Nation.Cymru article that he wanted to explain his decision to Cardiff before the announcement: https://nation.cymru/sport/gareth-ba...geles-fc-lafc/

Some murmurings about Paddy Lane - winger from Fleetwood Town.

It would make sense as he ticks a lot of boxes we seem to consider. Can play a load of positions including left back (played there for N. Ireland, both wings and attacking mid. Is young, got good physical attributes and is cheap. Question is is anything more expensive than free cheap enough for us?

We’ve paid fees for Tanner (believed to be about £40k) and Romeo (judging by Millwall’s recent spending, it.seems we paid about £3 million for him, but I think maybe a couple of hundred grand is more realistic).

If we’re looking to bring in five loan signings, my guess is that we’ll be spending a seven figure sum in loan fees.

WOL reported that the Mahlon Romeo transfer was 'understood' to be a free - despite being announced at both ends as 'undisclosed'.

Definitely a fee then if WOL are reporting no fee 👍

£3 million!? I’d be amazed and appalled if we spent that sort of money on a single non-forward with the rebuild we are going through. Where did that figure come from, Bob?

Has a bit of Whitts about him. Strikes the ball beautifully

Re: Bluebirds transfer rumours

Sounds like Witcoop got a scoop! Presume the other one he's talking about will be an experienced English centre back from a establish Premier League club, if person I spoke to earlier was correct. Presume Ralls would still be captain.

We've still got the other player abroad that SM had a facetime end of last season .

Add some loans in.. and we'll have a big old squad!

I wonder what happened to this centre back

Darren Witcoop says there was a striker lined up too, that wasn't Maja

Bluebirds' stance on Paddy Lane

Cardiff City have made enquiries about Fleetwood Town youngster Paddy Lane but are not actively pursuing a transfer, WalesOnline has been told.

Reports on Monday stated that Cardiff and Hearts were interested in the 21-year-old Northern Ireland international, with West Ham having previously scouted the midfielder.

However, while Cardiff had taken an initial look at the player, it quickly became apparent Fleetwood's demands far outweighed where Cardiff valued him.

Lane was named the League One player of the year last season, but given it is his first season at that level of football the asking price for his signature was thought to be inflated in the current market, so Cardiff won't be pursuing further.

Watford and Millwall supposed to be chasing KV Kortrijk forward Pape Habib Gueye - valued at £2m

https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-watford-and-millwall-plot-moves-for-pape-habib-gueye-amid-2m-reveal/

Does Vincent Tan still own Kortrijk?

Are we still able to do sweetheart loan deals (or transfers) with them (like Ken Zohore)?

I have never heard of him before - but his record is 11 goals and 4 assists in 51 games - Belgian top division.
