If we get Ramsey fit, a striker and a centre mid, we will get top half. Everyone is 3/4 good players awayQuote:

Scott Twine to Bristol??
Apparently we've just appointed a new head of scouting.
Maybe not the best timing, but there's still 16 days of the transfer window left!

Wonder if Bulut was involved in this appointment you would hope so.Quote:

Too many times in the past we have handed out longer deals to managers just because they hit a purple patch so the club have obviously learned some lessons.
Bulut is hardly pulling up trees that he needs to be tied down asap.
Can't argue with that Mr H. If he does nothing else this season, Bulut needs to prove to the board that he has the motivational skills to get the team performing again and get the crowd on his side.Quote:

It is bizarre. We can’t buy a win and he’s kicking off about wanting a new deal. We’ve got loads of time to sort out if he deserves a new deal and there won’t be a queue of clubs asking for his services at present.Quote:

It’s funny isn’t it, WBA called Grant lazy, in fact I seen a thing on X about Grant and they wouldn’t believe he is anything but lazy.Quote:

Trust Chair Keith Morgan has spoken to senior sources at Cardiff City Football Club to get clarity following issues raised by Bluebirds fans on social media.
Keith Morgan said:
"Having had a conversation with senior club officials, I thought it would be useful to update members on the current position regarding player transfers etc. at Cardiff City Football Club to clarify a few misconceptions on social media over the last few days.
"The club directors are working in close cooperation and agreement with the manager and recruitment team to bring in new players either on loan or permanently and a number of potential deals are at an advanced stage.
"Deals are never straightforward as they have to be agreed with the players involved and their current clubs but it is anticipated that some deals will be finalised and announced in the coming week. The announcements will include players in and out of the club."
He's getting frustrated with many players no doubt, he needs a shake-up and more competition for places.Quote:

Seems far fetched that Luton would agree to let him out on loan, but if they do he'd be a great addition.
Yeah seems unlikely, not sure he’s the left back Bulut would want but could certainly see him on the wing in our team.Quote:
