A few stories circulating that Crewe’s Ryan Wintle has agreed terms with us and will sign on a free pending medical and international clearance. Don’t know much about him other than he’s a pretty highly regarded 24 year old defensive midfielder - and he decided to reject a new contract offer from Crewe.
Do English players require 'international clearance'?Quote:

One of the deals Dalman was talking about signing off on about a fortnight ago? It’s daft really because we’ve been two divisions higher than them for getting on for fifteen years, but I like the idea of us signing a midfield player from Crewe.
If true, he should fit in with our pass it sideways or backwards midfield.Quote:

I wonder if we are moving one of the other 4 senior CMs on then - or planning on using them in another position?Quote:

Wintle can play at the back if needed apparently, but maybe we're going to see more of Pack at centreback?Quote:

Looks like he didn't play there at all last season, but has filled in there a couple of games a season before that.Quote:

Live not far from Crewe and known a Crewe fan who rates him very highly thinks he will have no problem playing in the championship. Regards Wintle as being better than Ng and he turned out well. He was Crewe's player of the season amongst both fans and players last season. Very smart signing.
Something gone awry here !
He’s not over 6ft tall !!!
But has he got an Irish granny?Quote:

Some very complimentary comments from Crewe fans https://twitter.com/cardiffcityfc/st...290869762?s=21
If he's as good as the other Crewe signing Ng hopefully we have another gem.
Dare we dream a good passer in style as well?
Has he ever been to Ipswich?Quote:
