I watched Moder last night from row A so really close and the guy's tall at 6'2" and can play midfield or wing-back. He's also really quick and looks like an athlete. I liked the way he communicated on the park. He's exactly the type of player we should be signing. The problem is, we think £6M is too expensive and we're skint when in fact if Tan wants to own a football club then bloody well take it seriously (and yes, this is relevant because we wouldn't need to be talking about the like's of Arter if we had a plan).
I think Tan owns a spreadsheet, not a football club. Cardiff City has a weak board with a poor track record and we're just a portfolio asset, not a living, breathing, football club right now. It all feels stale.
It seems we look at loanees (which I don't like) or 30+ signees (which I don't like). Yes, there have been some good signings from L1 & L2 but IMO there'll be more misses than hits which we need to factor in. Buy cheap, buy twice.
Young and hungry - now I do like the sound of that.
You're right, If Tomlin is regarded as finished (sadly) then what are we talking about Arter for?
