Bluebirds transfer rumours

[AfricanBluebird]

Goalscorers are the most difficult position to fill.

Also, if this is where we think we can exploit the loan market I think we will be disappointed.

Firstly, 'proven' goal scorers are not regularly available on loan. Secondly, unproven strikers (youngsters) coming on loan get recalled pretty quickly if they start banging them in, as goals are so sought after.

Depending on loans alone for our goals is in my opinion stupidity. That's why i think we need to splash out on at least one permanent striker and then perhaps consider a loan.

If we signed a young striker on a half or full season loan how would the club recall the player part way through, if there was no recall clause, which is quite often the case with this type of longer term situation.

I agree, it would be a risky strategy.

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Stoke have signed Flint.

[jon1959]

Stoke have signed Flint.

Only a one year contract though.

I think he would have got longer in League One with Derby (if they ever get the club sale done).

Probably shows Flints confidence that he can earn a longer stretch in the Championship. Or just cashing in on Championship wages while he can?

You just know he's going to score against us next season.

Should be another 2 in next few days apparently. Our first loan and a player we were really close to signing (though not sure how public it went) under Neil Harris.

They're really keen to get as much wrapped as possible over next 10 days or so, ahead of a training camp.

One of them a Millwall, or former Millwall player, then?

[olderblue]

Wallace?

[the other bob wilson]

Wallace?

Be very pleasantly surprised if it was.

[J R Hartley]

Mahlon Romeo is my guess

Interesting that we are still targeting players from two managers ago. Not a dig just interesting as this implies they are club interests that the new manager supports

Does wrapping up everything in the next ten days include Bale and Ramsey 🤔🤔

Can't disagree about much here, however I would say that the area we need to strengthen, and have needed to for the last few seasons, is in the attacking midfield.

Creating chances allows strikers to score goals and, although I wouldn't pass up the chance of a proven goalscorer, a player comfortable on the ball who can pinpoint a pass would be my first choice.

Give any half decent striker enough chances he will get goals.

Oh for a McPhail or a Whittingham....

or a Ramsey!

33 in July a 1 year championship deal seems sensible

Was this one of those rhetorical questions?

Yeah I suppose so.

Bound to.

[ninian opinian]

None of the above Vonte is a bluebird.

[Harry Paget Flashman]

Linked with Aji Alese from West Ham on loan.

Never heard of him but I'm sure someone on here will have seen all his reserve and u23 games for the Hammers.

[ccfcwelshlad]

None of the above Vonte is a bluebird.

Think this is probably the one I was expecting to be a loan as I'd never heard of him!

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Think this is probably the one I was expecting to be a loan as I'd never heard of him!

Career appearances: 13 games.
