Bluebirds transfer rumours

[Maurice Swan]

Morison said something about not wanting 32, 33 and 34 year old strikers.

Absolutely have to agree with that and the rest of his comments.

In general yes, but I think you can afford one or two exceptions in a squad.

Like Sawyers.

God dammit, what could have been.

This time last year, Tom Davies was playing for the first team, wonder how far he is down the pecking order now?

He must be in contention if we can't get someone in by Saturday? Aren't there rules regarding how long you have to recover from a concussion?

We saw that Ng isn't comfortable at left back. The only option I can see other than Davies would be messing the defence around or shoving Ralls/O'Dowda out there

Matej Vydra - 30? Knows the division, not prolific - think he’s back from injury but clubless? Might be wanting a lower premier league club…

I think it is 7 days, it is 14 for normal people. Some rubbish that because they're elite sportspeople they can recover faster, which is absolute cobblers. If it is 7 days, Bagan can't play.

I'd play O'Dowda there. Bit of a waste but we've got enough wingers and we lose loads not having a left footer at left back. Also means we can keep Ng at CB.

yep I'd go with o'dowda and when he inevitably gets injured 8 seconds into the game I'd bring tom Davies on

Ng at centre back is a must, not at all impressed by Simpson and Kipre seemed off it when he was moved to the other side

The issue I have with moving O'Dowda is he's one of our best attacking outlets and he would be wasted at left back, Davies may be inexperienced but he is a left back and I don't recall him looking hugely out of his depth when he played under Mick

I think it was the rearranging of the back four that caused us the most problems yesterday. Putting O'Dowda at left back would have meant less disruption as both Ng and Kipre didn't look comfortable in their new positions.

Jamal Lowe, loan rumour on twitter?

Jamal Lowe, loan rumour on twitter?

Please no

[North Cardiff Blue]

Please no

Desparation point must be approaching!

Hopefully aiming higher, but a planZ.

Jamal Lowe, loan rumour on twitter?

at least he's scored at the CCS

[A Quiet Monkfish]

Much, much better than what we've got.

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

A few weeks ago I'd have said no thanks. Now though, he'd improve us at least.

Burnley, Watford, Norwich and Sunderland all linked too.

We've got to get someone, but by that list so does everyone else!

Cardiff City transfer news Live: Updates as Norwich City striker Jordan Hugill's future shrouded in mystery

Cardiff City have nine days to solve their striker issue.

Manager Steve Morison has brought in 15 players this summer in a complete squad overhaul which has had promising signs so far.

The defeat to Bristol City, though, showed where the Bluebirds are lacking - namely in the final third. They created chances at Ashton Gate but couldn't convert them.

Former loan man Jordan Hugill could be available, with Norwich City manager Dean Smith unsure of what will happen with the forward come deadline day.

We'll have the latest Cardiff transfer gossip for you throughout the day.

Hugill latest
We reported yesterday Dean Smith's quotes on Hugill's future in Norfolk, but for those who missed them, here they are.

"We're not looking to lose any players, that's for sure," he said, speaking ahead of Norwich's Carabao Cup tie with Bournemouth at Carrow Road this evening (Tuesday). "I said there might come a point in this window when players who are not playing might want to go elsewhere. We would assess that and decide whether it is the right thing to do for the football club. That’s the most important thing."

When asked specifically on Hugill's future, he added: "I don't know. Jordan [Hugill] will be available for the squad on Tuesday, he might go and score a hat-trick and all of a sudden he puts his name down and takes his opportunity. And that is what I want at this club."

Tom Davies is going to be a good player, probably better than Bagan. Though, I'm not sure that our current back 4 is an ideal place to blood an 18 year old!

But not as much as the team that’s scored three in six.
