Re: Harry Arter

Yup, unbelievable.

It is slightly less unbelievable if you've seen our central midfielders trying to play.

Re: Harry Arter

Yup, unbelievable.

What's unbelievable is that drama queens in the thread are making it out like Lewj and I are saying Arter can take us to the Premier League 🤣

All we've said is that in our opinion he's better than that we've got but there's some argumentative people on this forum who'd start an argument in an empty Coronavirus affected stadium🤣

I'd say that he probably isn't better than what we already have, and if he is it'll be marginal. I'd rather us look out for a young, hungry midfield player from league 1 or 2, or from a foreign league, rather than a player who is finished.

Me too mate 100%, whether that will happen I doubt very much sadly 🤣

Forest are apparently paying him £38k per week to play for their Under-23s.

Re: Harry Arter

oof

He should be a good player at this level, I'm surprised he can't get in their team.
But that wage is a hell of a lot to be getting no value from.

Re: Harry Arter

And the person criticising the club giving a contract to Tomlin wanted Arter.😂😂😂

38 k a week.

Warnock had a 7 year deal at 48.5k lined up for him

Thing is, we can't blame Warnock for that kind of think. Managers generally last less than 2 years in a job. Many of them aren't going to care if they're saddling the club with years of using up their whole wage bill for players who won't play - if they can get the best players for the season they are in. If they have one good year they'll get a job elsewhere and the mess will be someone else's problem.
The fault lies with the people who allow them to behave like that.

Re: Harry Arter

I’d say Arter is the sort of player who doesn’t have much to offer once his legs start to go and he’s at that stage now. Some of the comments earlier were a bit harsh I thought because I thought though, he was excellent in the season Bournemouth won the league. I also thought he did a decent job when he was here, but, despite us having a footballer in midfield in Camarasa the balance, in true Cardiff style, wasn’t right.

Absolutely this

Just to cast him aside with a label as 'shit footballer' does him a massive disservice.

But I wouldn't like us to sign him

Again another top post

With so much money at stake these days I wonder how long the traditional manager will be in place and more along the lines of coaches and committees as some of the amercian sports do

Yeah well you can see how stoic MM is about the possibility that they’ll sell his best player off without telling him.
Most previous managers would have been going mental at the very suggestion.

If only. I think our scouts are afraid of flying or get seasick. I wish we'd actually go and look at other European league players. And I mean, actually, go and look at them. We're so unimaginative at City.

I watched Moder last night from row A so really close and the guy's tall at 6'2" and can play midfield or wing-back. He's also really quick and looks like an athlete. I liked the way he communicated on the park. He's exactly the type of player we should be signing. The problem is, we think £6M is too expensive and we're skint when in fact if Tan wants to own a football club then bloody well take it seriously (and yes, this is relevant because we wouldn't need to be talking about the like's of Arter if we had a plan).

I think Tan owns a spreadsheet, not a football club. Cardiff City has a weak board with a poor track record and we're just a portfolio asset, not a living, breathing, football club right now. It all feels stale.

It seems we look at loanees (which I don't like) or 30+ signees (which I don't like). Yes, there have been some good signings from L1 & L2 but IMO there'll be more misses than hits which we need to factor in. Buy cheap, buy twice.

Young and hungry - now I do like the sound of that.

You're right, If Tomlin is regarded as finished (sadly) then what are we talking about Arter for?
