According to SSN, Cardiff in talks to sign Dijon defender Jonathan Panzo.
Im outside Howells School as we speak.
Dai Hunt is speeding towards the stadium, barring punctures , we should have more news soon .
England u21 international who came through Chelsea's youth system.
Left footed centre back, can also play left back. Makes sense.
I wonder if it's loan or perm, Dijon paid a few million for him not that long ago
Not sure why but someone's chosen to write up this detailed scout report on him
https://totalfootballanalysis.com/pl...alysis-tactics
they bought him last season when they were in ligue 1, they were relegted at the end of the season, and French clubs finances have aparently been particularly badly hit by covid, as they stopped the league and didn't resume it.
They are now struggling in ligue 2, so are probably looking to offload any assets as immediate re-promotion looks unlikely (sound familiar?)
If he wants to know anything about Cardiff he only has to speak to his current club captain Brune Ecuele Manga
Interesting report
left footed, good at reading the game, comfortable on the ball, good passing.
These would be all great assets to us if we want to make this formation really work its best.
The only down side would be the apparent lack of pace (which is one area that nelson does well - presuming he'd be replacing Nelson)
If he does well for us this kind of signing would be one that would definitely have a lot of potential to rise in value and quickly.
Left footed centre backs who can defend and pass and dribble are like rocking horse shit at the moment.
Get Bruno to put in a good word. I'd take them on a joint deal
QPR and Stoke also sniffing around apparently.
I really like the look of this signing if we can pull it off. and the fact that 3 CBs are probably leaving in the summer in Morisson, Flint and Brown would mean we'd be pretty much guaranteeing plenty of first team action
may also be relevant that he's coming back from a fairly lengthy knee injury - was out from July until October with a knee problem, and before that from Feb 2020 until Jun 2020 also with a knee problem
Seamus Coleman was a hotter prospect
Apparently he was linked with Derby , Coventry and Swansea when he joined Dijon
Take your time when typing, proof read before pressing ‘post quick reply’. This isn’t having a go, honestly, you’ll be taken more seriously. Seriously you do invite the odd piss take. Take this in whatever vein you think fit but I can assure you I’m posting this with the best intentions
seen a bit of speculation on twitter that this could be a loan with an option to make it permanent
