The Transfer Rumour Thread

[Rjk]

So a release clause like I mentioned as one of the options in my original comment?

if we had players who wanted to leave and they had a release clause that could be activated then I'm sure their agents would have made that known by now if they had any sense

[Des Parrot]

is it?

For perspective Osijek are ranked 2 places below TNS in the UEFA rankings

[Des Parrot]

Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split, or Burton and Doncaster? Come on.

Osijek are ranked lower than TNS by UEFA, so the argument could be made the other way!

Doesn’t sound as sexy though, Des. Especially to the stat obsessed nerds like RJK.

All the deals are already arranged ages ago, they just wait until deadline day to announce them as it's more dramatic that way.

So, would be nice for us to start doing business with this new manager. Reading and Bolton have already got a few through the door, they look like decent contenders this year so far.

The next stage after arriving in the building at Cardiff is the physio room rather than the grass and then it is time spent on protocols before getting on the grass

It's the "Cardiff way"

I thought you were going to say in the physio room & stay there for 3 years!

Purposefully didn't give a timescale because as we know we are an inclusive club who takes all sorts so they could as you say, not be seen for three years or be seen for a couple of games and then not seen for extensive periods and anywhere in-between

We are a club that do not discriminate and I for one am proud of that 👍

Have we ever had a quieter transfer rumours thread? Contracts up in less than a week and who knows whether we’re in the running to sign any one

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Nothing matters anymore.

It is all quiet on the transfer front (for us anyway).

Don't forget the obligatory loan to Kortrijk our parent club.

Stop off to Belgium we're just a stop off to Belgium

Damn completely forgot about that part of the pathway

Do we need to include a loan period to Weston super mare first

Kieron Evans has signed for Eastleigh.

Nothing matters anymore.

After the recent Karl Marx thread, I looked at some of his quotes and came across this:
Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when youÂ’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through.

Probably sums up life and the City really.

In fairness I don't really expect us to be doing much.

I think the goal (and one of the big reasons BBM was appointed) was to build a side around that core of young(er) players that are already here.

There's probably 3 or 4 that have asked to leave and possibly 1 or 2 that will attract interest, and our business will probably revolve around replacing those if and when they leave.

Bear in mind too that Dalman has already said they wanted to cut the size of the squad, and it was unlikely the out of contract players would be replaced.

Of course, whether or not this is the right approach is up for debate, but it explains why our transfer activity is so quiet.

But have they penned a deal

Or inked one?

Or indeed put pen to paper

rumoured by the same people who said he was definitely going to a Croatian club earlier in the week?

Different rumour-mongers I think 😁
