Bluebirds transfer rumours

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

It does seem possible, probably is what's happening but I just thought because of the level he's come from I thought they may try him in the u23 first, but he's going to have a full pre season to show what he can do so you may well be spot on.

WOL are saying he's joining the 1st team squad (so it must be true!)

[Rhiwbina Blues]

Expect the average age of the first team to be lower and the knock on effect will see 17 to 19 years olds in the u23 squad.

Any player in their 20s should be able to sit on the bench at least

[Rjk]

Spoken like you'd heard of him before you read this thread.

Fair play.

yes, that was the joke

It's been written in enough places. Information is out there.

[dembethewarrior]

I took your post for what it was.

If you was joking fair enough, but the info you stated is all over the internet. You wouldn't really have to be joking to state it.

Another new recruit today https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...geria-23999743

Well we are getting our business done early.

I dont think ive seen any of these players and in fact cant say id heard of any of them until about a month ago.

Lets hope Morison and our scouting system has done a good job.

Morisons going to have no excuses when kick off comes.

That goal the article talks about is on the end of this video

Clearly one of the players Steve Morison was talking about when he said there were a couple that would have supporters looking at Wikipedia entries - Collins'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamilu_Collins

says he has eleven caps for Nigeria, whereas the article says he has twenty five, but it looks like the Wikipedia entry is out of date.

Like each of our signings so far, it's hard to know what to expect from them - I'd not heard of Jamilu Collins until this morning, but I'd say his CV suggests he is someone who will be able to cope with Championship football.

Club saving money on the printing of names on shirts.
One Collins in, one Collins out

Makes not one bit of sense.

That's why we signed Perry Ng, too.

After watching the goal, why am I left thinking “He’s got a foot like a traction engine”?

Signing all these lower league players, journeymen and unheard of foreigners will either be a stroke of genius or end in relegation. Maybe they will come later in the window but we’ve got to sign some proven players as well.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Collins played 30 times in the Bundesliga 2 seasons ago. Let's hope he adapts a bit quicker to the Championship than the last player we signed from Germany...

I've said for a while that if you keep signing League 1 and 2 players (or poor/old Championship ones) you'll end up with a League 1 or 2 side. Not strictly true if you sign the best ones but last year we flirted with relegation.

To be fair he's got lots to sign to make up the numbers and at least he's getting in early, unlike some years when we're still faffing around in August.

I always remind myself that this board is not generally how the stadium feels on match days - it helps me a lot and I remain "excited" for the season ahead 👍👍

That’s most probably because you haven’t had your second cup of coffee and are not fully awake yet

[The Lone Gunman]

Collins played 30 times in the Bundesliga 2 seasons ago..

30 appearances in 2019/20 while SC Paderborn finished rock bottom of the Bundesliga, 19 appearances this season as they finished mid-table in 2. Bundesliga - the division Robert Glatzel has scored bags of goals in. Collins is 28 in August.

I’d say this is the least inspiring signing so far, but hopefully he’s being brought in mainly as cover for Bagan.

I am nearly home from work, I most definitely am on the ball today.

This season he missed games due to AFCON, and also there was a contract dispute (ie he didn't want to sign one!). He's also made 7 starts fro Nigeria since the start of 2019 (and missed 2 because he had COVID). Glen Williams suggesting he's here because of his versatility, which suggests to me he is a squad player?

[Trigger]

We have a lot of players to get in with no money apparently.

I can't say I'm excited by any of the signings but given I've seen none of them play at all I also can't be too disappointed yet.

At least from what I understand of them there will be more pace in the team. So the football might be poor still but at least it won't be so slow.

Hopefully we can get a few decent loans towards the end of the window.

I've been excited every pre season since 1959 it's what silly supporters do!

[dembethewarrior]

Seems to be plenty of talent floating about
