Part of me thinks we don’t need another midfielder, but we haven’t really got a box to box one apart from Joel Colwill - I assume we’re talking a loan?

Should be a squad player for us imo, on for the last 20 etc. He doesn't affect games enough, bit of a water carrier if you like.
Even now I'd put Joel Colwill ahead of him.
Wintle is an excellent player but its crystal clear Bulut is going for pace down the flanks this year if we need to or at least gives us another option which we didn't have last seasonQuote:

agree about Colwill would like to see him feature alot more this season if he don't get loaned out
We need pace, big time. Although not sure what that has to do with Wintle.Quote:

I still don't know why we signed the players we did last year looking at what he is trying to sign this year. We wanted pace and a player to beat a man? So why did the club sign bowler?
Probably time for a clean slate, what's done is done etc. Will judge on how we do in the new season.
Now is the Wintle of our discontent.....
He's not.Quote:

If we are serious with the aim of a top 6 finish, we need better players than Wintle, Turnbull etc in midfield

"If" he has a certain way he wants to play, surely you still recruit the type of player you want just not as good, and upgrade as you are able to? What sense does it make to just fit bums on seats? I think people need to stop making excuses for him.Quote:

I see the report says we’d prefer a permanent deal.Quote:

Hmmm theres always something.Quote:

From Darren Witcoop on Twitter.
Crystal Palace’s teenage midfielder David Ozoh is being tracked by a number of clubs this month. Luton and Plymouth have registered their interest while Cardiff and Derby are also tracking Ozoh in view of a loan deal.
This adds another layer to the rumours.
If we sign this lad, given the young talented midfielders we have, we might as well close our academy.Quote:

This is a good point.Quote:

Cardiff city amongst other clubs have asked Fulham about a season long loan deal for Jay Stansfield.
Bad knee injury sustained while playing against City in December 2020 put him out for ten months. Hasn't really looked the same player since by all accounts.Quote:

Not a squeak since.
Fallen through? Stalled? Gazumped? Nothing was ever imminent? Wishful thinking?
Has Bulut continued with his mastery of 'overpromise - under-deliver'
Most of the links in recent weeks have been with UK players too - nothing I have seen mentions Turkey, Greece or Germany.
'Please Santa, can we have a striker this summer?'
I think if we really are in for the likes of Campbell and Stansfield, we’re on to plan B, at least, when it comes to strikers.Quote:

Leicester City have completed the signing of right winger Matías Soulé freeing up Kasey McAteer to move to Cardiff City next week.
Anyone calling themselves inside ccfc knows nothing I'm sure.Quote:
