Where is Rubin Colwill?

Re: Where is Rubin Colwill?

The guy polarises opinion that’s for sure. Not much middle ground. You either love him or you hate him. I’ve seen this transfer window already described as “the greatest in Cardiff Citys history” . :hehe:

I don't think anyone can say whether it's good or bad yet until we have a few competitive games under our belt.

For it to be as good as the 06-07 window we'll need several of the new siginings becoming fan favourites.
Then we picked up Chopra, Whittingham, McPhail, Roger Johnson, McNaughton, James Chambers and Kerrea Gilbert on loan and a load of other not so successful signings AND made a decent profit that transfer window with the sale of Cameron Jerome.

Yeah that is an insane statement :hehe:

I just wonder at what his ego will be like if his team (and it is undoubtedly HIS team) does well this season, hopefully we'll find out :yikes:

Absolutely he’s doing it his way, which is why I don’t want to see any excuses when it goes tits up.

It always goes tits up in the end - most managers last about 18 months per job. It's a fairly safe bet

No. Did I imply he said that?

Absolutely but most managers don’t get to build their team from scratch

Well in its in a one paragraph post where you talk about him so I would say yes but to be honest that's why I asked the question as I hadn't seen this from him so thanks for clarifying 👍

Yeah, although to be fair, some of them get to spend more than 50k on their first 12 signings too

Re: Where is Rubin Colwill?

Why don’t the interviewers ask Morison about the injuries of Colwill, Adam, Davies and Ralls?

Did they get injured in friendly games? 🤷*♂️ How else do you get injured in pre-season? 🙄

But lots of people are claiming that it has been a good window.

I don’t see how, as we have no idea about nearly all of the players. It is good insofar as we shipped out a load of players on expensive contracts (or more precisely they expired - there is nothing very clever about NOT re-signing/re-newing them!)

Re: Where is Rubin Colwill?

I've got this image in my head of Morison, screaming "are you not entertained?!" like Russel Crowe in Gladiator in the centre circle after we've been thrashed 1-4 but the goal has won Sky's Goal of the Month award.

Re: Where is Rubin Colwill?

we have signed a fair few youngsters ( at least not players wanting 1 last payday ), which is something we have been wishing the club to do for years, so thats a plus

Re: Where is Rubin Colwill?

Is he injured?

My "ITK" contact reckons he'll be sold to fund the purchase of a new striker, Morison doesn't particularly rate him. He also needs to raise money and just about the only player to have had interest shown in by other clubs is Colwill senior and a few bids have been tentatively made.

Not in 2022 post covid they don’t

Seeing as how Morison didn't say it, the insane statement is actually your post"
