    he'll be on a ridiculous wage and not good enough for anyone who can afford it.
    a waste but I'd struggle to feel sorry for him when his main problem is he has too much money
    He's in a great position to be fair, can pick up fantastic money in the reserves and if he really wanted to play could take a cut in his salary from the Chelsea inflation.

    I can't blame him whatever he chooses, no real right or wrong.

    I always though Basic could do a job for us. but , like all the the others on that list, would be too expensive in earnings.

    if they don't get any other offers soon they may start to re-evaluate their rates

    Rodrigo Ely sounds like a proper Cardiff lad.


    Nabil Bentaleb is a name I recognize but not sure where
    Rumney?

    Wow. I missed that one. That's incredible. We're they trying to offload him during the last window? The size of Chelsea's player personnel is ridiculous.

    Given our current complete lack of wide players - interesting to see that HRK, Josh Sims and Jordon Ibe are still without a club. All three would certainly improve on what we have and give us some options.

    will they improve us? almost certainly. are we going to get promoted with them.
    no chance. so what's the point in spending the wages in someone else to block youth progression

    I would agree with you if we had some young wingers knocking on the first team door but it's the one area we're light on in both experience and youth.

    the usual way of playing our formation doesn't really need wingers other than the wingbacks.
    the intent in the attacking third is to have one player generally operating in each of the 5 channels across the pitch. so something like
    wingback inside-left centre-forward inside-right wingback
    I think the trouble is our attacks are usually snuffed out before the wingbacks can get up in support.
    we play a specific Mick McCarthy version of this formation though, so God knows how to make that work

    What you’re all missing is: are there any centre-backs available? I hear that Mick is looking to sign another 5 and would swap anyone who’s not a CB, except Bacuna & Collins for them!
