I think a combo of Bulut not wanting him (after stuff last season) and Robinson not wanting to be here means there's likely some truth in it. Can't see Robinson staying. But jeez, we need a striker soon.Quote:

40 games for the pair. Started 12, taken off 11 times. Substituted on 28 times. Both WBA & Ipswich predominantly brought him on with 20-30 minutes to go. In the games I saw him play for Ipswich, very much an impact player. Quick, direct, likes to cut inside. An upgrade on Josh Bowler but from the left, where he’s no better than O’DowdaQuote:

If it was Clinton Baptiste I'd be impressed.Quote:

Seen this and while I hope Ramsey and ODowda stay fit, they can’t be relied on.Quote:

I just don’t see him being involved.
Adams gone
Who’s next
Vontae Daley-Campbell on trial with Chesterfield.
I agree with this. If we don't get a decent striker through the door then it's going to another long, attritional season. I don't bother with the pre-seasons anymore (friendlies). They tell us nothing. Chambers is exciting. Ramsey won't last the season and we all know it. Etete is rubbish let's be honest. We need a striker (Davies back is great news though). Robinson is finished at City imo.Quote:

I wish they'd reword the havent spent a penny yet.
We haven't spent a penny on transfer fees but I'm certain the signing on fees of Willock and Chambers would be significant and more than the fee we will actually receive for Adams.
Surprised at the low price for Adam's considering he is another "star" who has left the club - I'm sure I have missed us being a champion league club with all the stars we have lost over the last couple of years - I'm sure Glen Williams does it as a wind upQuote:

Bulut looked like someone who was expecting a signing in the next few days at the end of his post Pen Y Bont game interview on the club website.
Cardiff stepping up transfer activity. Manchester City's Alex Robertson another target

Alex spent the first half of the 2021/22 season on loan in the Scottish Premiership with Ross County before returning to the EDS setup.
The midfielder received his first senior international call-up in March 2023 when he was selected as part of the Australia squad for a two-part friendly series against Ecuador.
While born in Scotland, Robertson spent the majority if his early life down under, and qualifies for selection courtesy of his father, Mark, who also represented the Socceroos at senior level.
Alex has joined Portsmouth on a season-long loan for the 2023/24 season.."
