And what top is this he has on. A training top I suppose but have we always been sponsored by 888?

Re: Cardiff sign Mark McGuinness from Arsenal

Cardiff City Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of central defender Mark McGuinness.

The 20-year-old joins from Arsenal and has agreed a deal until the summer of 2024. He is Mick McCarthy’s second summer signing.

McGuinness is an U21 international for the Republic of Ireland. He spent the 2020/21 season on loan with Ipswich Town in League One, appearing in 25 competitive matches and scoring once.

Seems he was on loan at Ipswich last season, and is quite highly rated.
1.94 m tall

Whoscored rates him as very strong on aerial duels and interceptions and strong at passing.

I had never heard of him before.

A twenty year old central defender “strong at passing”??? At Cardiff City??? Surely some mistake???

oof

well they all have a mistake in them at that age, probably 18 there.

We are going to need bodies in this position if we are going to continue with 3 at the back, and I think at least morrisson and flint are out of contract this time next year, so a bit of uncharacteristic forward planning here perhaps.

it'd be interesting to see how fr Ibrahim Bakare is from the first team as well, he looked very good when on trial for the U23s but then completely disappeared.

Semi Ajayi came from Arsenal didn't he?

Re: Cardiff sign Mark McGuinness from Arsenal

Never seen him like most but with Flint Morrison and Nelson probably first choice I think Brown and now McGuinness are back up at a good age with hopefully good potential.

Flint will be 32 in a couple of weeks and Morrison is 30, and Nelson 28.

Even with Brown we needed more cover. Hopefully he will really shine and grap a first team place, that will make things potentially simpler next summer when Flint and Morrission will both be out of contract.

Re: Cardiff sign Mark McGuinness from Arsenal

For me the one thing that was going to hinder any plans MM has to make City play a bit more football was our inability to make even the simplest pass out from central defence. Hope he's a good enough defender to get a regular start.
