Rumours are that we’re trying to sell Horvath, Tanner, NG, Robinson, Robertson, Tsunoda, Willock & Daland, did I miss anyone?

Cheeky bid from Peter Ridsdale to try and get Robinson back to Preston?

Has anyone actually explained what the NG injury is to keep NG out for an estimated 5 weeks?

We should keep Robertson and I don't really see the point of getting rid of Tanner, don't think we'll fetch much for him.

WOL ****ing useless:

“Speaking during the club's pre-season tour last week, Barry-Murphy outlined his transfer priorities — and made it clear that any incoming signings must significantly raise the standard of the first XI. “Quantity over quality” was the message, a nod to a summer that might not be busy in volume, but must be impactful if Cardiff are to mount a serious promotion push.“

A bit harsh, going on previous seasons they would be spot on.

I guess there will always be players who's heads are turned when offers come in, and you can't blame them.
However, at the moment we seem to have more of a pipeline from the youth teams into the first team than at any point for a long long time -I wonder if that will make it easier to try to keep hold of some of our younger prospects in the future (assuming that pathway continues)

One of the objectives of the new Independent Football Regulator is "to protect and promote the financial resilience of English football as a whole, ensuring that systemic risks and structural issues like the distribution of revenue through the pyramid are managed appropriately", the poaching of young players by bigger clubs from smaller clubs is something he should look at. Clubs losing players they've developed should be properly compensated at the time, and maybe there should be a compulsory minimum % sell-on clause rule.

every successive rule change has conceded more power to the big clubs to counteract the threat of them forming a breakaway league.

As such the FA aren't really equipped to do much for the smaller clubs. It would take a government to redress the balance IMO.

The FA are behind it, they want players at "elite" clubs.

If Cardiff were to give the player a professional contract, does this mean that he can't be poached for a pittance, as at present?

don't they need to be 17 for a pro-contract?

I think it can be offered as part of their scholarship but it can't be signed until they turn 17

Portsmouth are spending £1.2M on a Hungarian midfielder so not sure where this leaves any supposed interest in Robertson. I'm aware this is very flimsy transfer news but these are difficult times.

I really hope the takeover is causing a massive distraction and a lack of focus on transfers. If nothing is happening behind the scenes and the club are just happy with promoting a few of the kids then we really are in for more pain in the foreseeable.

And no doubt Tan will blame the manager/head coach if that happens.

An Athletic reporter (a reporter who writes for The Athletic, not a reporter whose physical fitness is commendable) is claiming we're enquiring about American defender Jonathan Tomkinson. Currently a free agent after being released by Norwich. Has has loan spells at Ross County, Bradford and Stevenage.

Only 79 people have voted so far, but an online poll asking if you expected any signings before we play Peterborough is currently running 32 % yes, 68 % no.

Not ITK, but I reckon, after lasts nights meeting with BBM, there will definitely be 2 in, if not he will be hugely disappointed !!!!!

Nudge nudge, wink, wink
