Crucially, Cardiff held firm when offers arrived for their homegrown stars. Rubin Colwill, Alex Robertson, Cian Ashford, Dylan Lawlor and Ronan Kpakio all had admirers, with one source saying the “phone wouldn’t stop ringing” for some of them.
Lawlor was sought after by clubs all over Europe and in the UK, RB Salzburg, Stoke City and Rangers were all known admirers. Kpakio has had Premier League clubs and Championship sides monitoring his outstanding start to the season. Top Championship outfits have had their eyes on the other three, too.
But each approach, some more serious than offers, was rebuffed.

Some more serious than offers or others? What's more serious than an offer? A kidnap?Originally Posted by BLUEAWAY TOO
Can you not slate someone for doing a shit job? Or is that OK now?
I thought that Surely we would have heard rumblings on Twatter if our players had been subject to offers from other clubs. I'm not saying that it didn't happen, but i'm sure we would have heard about it a bit more specifically. I onlt heard interest for Ashford.
It would be a real breath of fresh air if all the ITK’s weren’t in ITK 😁
I haven’t been ITK since Dave Jones, Jay and a few other players / staff quit the local golf courses
I thought you were gonna say that I’d posted an extra “in” that wasn’t required 😁I haven’t been ITK since Dave Jones, Jay and a few other players / staff quit the local golf courses
The snakey car salesman has been on the blower to his chief propagandist Abbandanto and Tans apologists on here lap it up.
So gullable.

Didn't Wenger offer Ajax £50,000,001 for Suarez after Liverpool offered £50m?
I’d imagine that was a slightly less than serious offer.

They are cut from the same cloth as long as they are given the nod 20 minutes before the official announcement on a signing
I sense the phrase ‘best transfer window ever’ marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of an upcoming Walesonline article.
No
Tomato, tomato.

Apologies for a slightly hazy memory of events 13 years ago. It was £40m+£1 to trigger a £40m clause in his contract
It wasn’t £50m+£1, it wasn’t offered to Ajax and it wasn’t after Liverpool had offered £50m to Ajax, but apart from that…..
it does seem notable that many of our rivals in this league have lost important players during the summer, while we have parted ways with a relatively large number of players, there aren't many who you could say have actually weakened us.
Plymouth have lost the likes of Hardie and Maxi to teams in a higher league
Luton have lost Aasgard, Kaminaki, Bell, McGuiness, Chong etc and replaced them largely with free transfers in their 30s like Nahki Wells, Kal Naismith, George Saville etc
Other teams like Peterborough have seen all of their best players leaving for bigger clubs.
We are in a league where it is very difficult to keep hold of valuable players it seems
And that speak volumes about the recruitment in previous years.
Yes you can slate Tan for doing a shit job. But I interepted Poll Man's post as stating some posters believe Tan is trying to run the club into the ground, maybe deliberately when it is no more than him doing a poor job at running the club. By refusing these offers (if true) then that does signal a very good change of managment for once
Great point
Is he doing a shit job this season? He's appointed BBM and supported him, we are top of the League.
How would his job this season compare with Luton or Plymouth's owner?
Mostly, he's supportive; his problem is that he selects shit Managers more than good ones. This last appointment via a committee involving Dalman and Chesterfield seems to have worked out very well. If that approach were to continue, most fans would be happy.
We'd obviously prefer someone wealthier and more relatable, but that's unlikely to happen for the foreseeable future, especially as the value has probably increased massively over the last two or three months.
Just asking, going by your reply, would you class J R Hartley and Sludge as Tomato, tomato?
