    And what top is this he has on. A training top I suppose but have we always been sponsored by 888?

    Cardiff City Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of central defender Mark McGuinness.

    The 20-year-old joins from Arsenal and has agreed a deal until the summer of 2024. He is Mick McCarthy’s second summer signing.

    McGuinness is an U21 international for the Republic of Ireland. He spent the 2020/21 season on loan with Ipswich Town in League One, appearing in 25 competitive matches and scoring once.

    Seems he was on loan at Ipswich last season, and is quite highly rated.
    1.94 m tall

    Whoscored rates him as very strong on aerial duels and interceptions and strong at passing.

    I had never heard of him before.

    Another Irish player - Mick definitely has a type.

    A twenty year old central defender “strong at passing”??? At Cardiff City??? Surely some mistake???

    oof

    well they all have a mistake in them at that age, probably 18 there.

    We are going to need bodies in this position if we are going to continue with 3 at the back, and I think at least morrisson and flint are out of contract this time next year, so a bit of uncharacteristic forward planning here perhaps.

    it'd be interesting to see how fr Ibrahim Bakare is from the first team as well, he looked very good when on trial for the U23s but then completely disappeared.

    Semi Ajayi came from Arsenal didn't he?

    Never seen him like most but with Flint Morrison and Nelson probably first choice I think Brown and now McGuinness are back up at a good age with hopefully good potential.

    Flint will be 32 in a couple of weeks and Morrison is 30, and Nelson 28.

    Even with Brown we needed more cover. Hopefully he will really shine and grap a first team place, that will make things potentially simpler next summer when Flint and Morrission will both be out of contract.

    For me the one thing that was going to hinder any plans MM has to make City play a bit more football was our inability to make even the simplest pass out from central defence. Hope he's a good enough defender to get a regular start.

    Re: Cardiff sign Mark McGuinness from Arsenal

    Happy with this.

    I'm yet to be convinced by Brown.

    And we have an aging central defence with Flint and Morrison.

    Good pedigree and did well at Ipswich last year.

    Nice to see these kinds of signings

    Sam trade were announced as 'partners' last autumn. At the time they said the name was to appear on the back of the shirts. Are 888 a subsidiary of SamTrade? Maybe that was part of the deal.

    888 is a betting site. That's all I can tell

    Would be great to have a centre back pairing of McGuinness Flint but I guess they won't still be here when I'm dead and gone.

    Re: Cardiff sign Mark McGuinness from Arsenal

    looking on twitter
    Most Arsenal fans seem to be saying he's a good prospect, and were disappointed to be losing him.
    Ipswich fans were saying he has obvious potential but still a bit raw and prone to the odd howler.
    A couple of them didn't think he was ready for the championship - or that he needs an experienced player alongside him (which I guess we can definitely provide)

    Totally agree, I would be both Brown and McGuinness will get a chance at some point so it's for them to keep their place.

    Personally I'd move Flint on, I'm not a fan but that's not going to happen.

    A few more of the right signings and we could have the Blues Band

    Good to hear we are looking to strengthen if not necessarily in the area we most need it.

    Great to hear he can pass but can he play in midfield?
