Didnt Siopsis buy out his contract with his former club? I wonder what his signing on fee was?
I have read that we had to rely on scraps in the summer. Well Bowler , Panzo , Grant would have been taken I reckon by many in this league. Bulut also got that dreadful Runnarson who hed worked with before. Throw in Goutas , Siopsis , Ramsey and its clear hes hardly worked on a shoestring. Hes also been able to extend contracts on certain players.
Excellent post.
His job was to get the best of what we had, obviously limitations upfront but we had/have a very decent squad and I think we did well bringing players in during the summer considering.
Although I think it would be unfair for anyone to suggest the embargo helped us, we would have had a fraction of the players to choose from compared to other clubs.

Isn't that what they did before?

I think the Wintle one has to have been an April fool….surely? Ralls was because it seems obligatory to keep him and he has a painting of himself in his attic.

Thats the million dollar question for Buluts cult followers like Moz and NCB. If we are only playing this anti-football because Bulut cant get the players he wants until the summer, when we are not under embargo, and we dont have to pay over the odds in January, why are giving contracts to two players - Ralls and Wintle - who cant play the football he wants to play?
Add Siopis into the mix, another player who runs around like a headless chicken but struggles with passes beyond 10 yards, and when are we going to see this futsal style exciting football the likes Cardiff fans have never seen before?
its all a load of utter bollox. Hes a passive, negative, saftety first manager and the sooner we are rid the better.

It was a new york times (i think) journalist that i read something ages ago about the next bubble, i think the global transfer fees owed is into the 10 billions, only takes 1 or 2 to fold and the whole system will collapse.
For the championship to be sustainable the average wage needs to be 4k a week, the sooner that is enforced the better. In Spain you have to present your figure in advance and they tell you how much you can spend, its working to stop clubs over spending.
Cardiff could potentially finish as high as 7th, so if we are 6th highest paying that's not bad at all given where we were last year. Again, finishing 8th or 9th would also not be a failure, given the long game in football.
I understand the football is sh1te but this anti-Bulut post using everything they can possibly scrape up to validate their observations is weird. The football is shit, we are having a more successful season, that's it, can we move on.

Solid steady reliable squad players, we would have struggled without those three this season, and they have value, we could get some sort of fee if he can get better then move them on.

I think I'm at the stage now when I just want this season to end. We are safe (brilliant of course) and I'm very pleased for the club and the coffers. As for the fans, it's been dire to watch. Horrible football. I was just messing around on Eric's thread saying I don't care how we score goals next season just so long as we do and we score more than the opposition at more than a few of our home games. I'm that beaten down.

This season has got f*ck all to do with extending their contracts for future years to come.
"If he can get better move them on". Yeah cos we are so good at moving on players surplus to requirements arent we? I mean, we are never saddled with average players draining the wagebill are we?
And you say im on fantasy island then youre talking about getting fees for Wintel and Ralls. :hehe:
