WOL saying that offers were refused for several players. If true, then good news. Well done CCFC

Crucially, Cardiff held firm when offers arrived for their homegrown stars. Rubin Colwill, Alex Robertson, Cian Ashford, Dylan Lawlor and Ronan Kpakio all had admirers, with one source saying the “phone wouldn’t stop ringing” for some of them.

Lawlor was sought after by clubs all over Europe and in the UK, RB Salzburg, Stoke City and Rangers were all known admirers. Kpakio has had Premier League clubs and Championship sides monitoring his outstanding start to the season. Top Championship outfits have had their eyes on the other three, too.

But each approach, some more serious than offers, was rebuffed.

Yet certain posters on this forum and the other will continue to slate Tan.

He's not trying to run the club into the ground, he's just doing a bit of a shit job.

Some more serious than offers or others? What's more serious than an offer? A kidnap?

Can you not slate someone for doing a shit job? Or is that OK now?

:hehe: I thought that Surely we would have heard rumblings on Twatter if our players had been subject to offers from other clubs. I'm not saying that it didn't happen, but i'm sure we would have heard about it a bit more specifically. I onlt heard interest for Ashford.

I thought you were gonna say that I’d posted an extra “in” that wasn’t required 😁

The snakey car salesman has been on the blower to his chief propagandist Abbandanto and Tans apologists on here lap it up. :hehe:

So gullable.

Didn't Wenger offer Ajax £50,000,001 for Suarez after Liverpool offered £50m?

I’d imagine that was a slightly less than serious offer.

They are cut from the same cloth as long as they are given the nod 20 minutes before the official announcement on a signing

I sense the phrase ‘best transfer window ever’ marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of an upcoming Walesonline article.

Apologies for a slightly hazy memory of events 13 years ago. It was £40m+£1 to trigger a £40m clause in his contract

It wasn’t £50m+£1, it wasn’t offered to Ajax and it wasn’t after Liverpool had offered £50m to Ajax, but apart from that…..
