The Official Cardiff City Thread

Searched for one and cant find one.....So here it is!

How excited are we getting?

Ive got to be honest im a little concerned at the lack of signings really!

I really really think there needs to be a CB and LB coming in if we are to stay up! Malky should have nearer £20 millions left to spend. We have been linked to Zouma in France and hes a top prospect so he is a must really! We then need a prem quality LB and if theres any cash left then a RB (sorry Kev).

Thoughts?

[oj121]

Looks like its going to be a good season then if im the only supporter.....

[lenandsons]

or a long one.Good luck to you guys, looking forward to the Swansea VS Cardiff games.

[oj121]

Cheers for the input. Well we have got one of the fullbacks covered now at least!

[The Nur]

A Jack bd signing in

In all seriousness though, best of luck to the reds this year. Swans vs you guys are going to be two matches of the season, no doubt.

[oj121]

Yes should be interesting. Our team coming up is better than yours WAS when you went up and you guys did pretty well!!!! Hoping Malky follows what you guys did and sticks to his principles and plays some proper football. Lets just hope the derby games aren't ruined by idiots!

Really , on what basis?

[oj121]

Sorry Swan if you think I was having a pop. I wasn't. I do believe the team that got promoted has more quality overall than the Swans team that came up a few years ago. Sinclair and Williams were head and shoulders above most of the squad though. With players like Bellamy, Whittingham, Mutch etc I do believe that the Cardiff side is stronger in a promotion for promotion comparison. I am NOT saying I think they are a better team now and it wasn't meant in a derogatory manner. Can we borrow Michu?

Nice signing of Caulker though! Im very happy with that one! Capoue plus another Winger or left back and that will be the squad complete. Not quite so worried anymore. Think Stoke need to start panicking though!

[SwanJack]

We also had Rangel, Britton, Dyer, Taylor, Allen, Pratley and Borini and for that reason I completely disagree with you.

And well done with Caulker, he is a good player, but he wouldn't get a look in now with us seeing as we have Williams, Flores.

[Allblackdup]

Today's South Wales Echo paper has Cardiff linked with Peter Odenwingie as well! Wonder if he'll be camping outside the Vale tonight to get the move...

Then surely you should have comfortably won the league?

Think Caulker is better than Flores (maybe not Williams)

I really REALLY hope Obin-wingey doesn't arrive and blow all squad moral out of the water. Hes not needed!

There was a thread but i was the only one posting in it......

Some words from Malky about Caulker ..

[oj121]

Think Malky may be the guy that can push Caulker on and improve his weaker points. Malky was a decent combative CB and if Caulker listens then I think he will improve no end this season.

[oj121]

Medel.....well at least that's one for the season.

Hes going to be.................interesting to watch to say the least!

I hear him and Canas have "beef" from past teams...

Should liven up the derby a bit

[Le Pop]

As a Palace fan I'm excited but apprehensive...

Do you think Cardiff/Hull/Palace can stay up? We haven't set the transfer market alight, and not bought a single defender yet...

I guess your derby against Swansea is a highlight for you guys, we don't have any real rivals this year (apart from the usual ManUre animosity), so just looking forward to the ride and shocking one or two...

[oj121]

I genuinely think Cardiff will stay up and finish around 12-14th.

Think its going to be tough for the other two teams. Palace are without Zaha and Murray (until he gets properly fit which will take time) and they were your two serious players last year.

Hull are genuinely junk (sorry Hull supporters). I cant see a single flicker of hope...at the moment. Will be down to grit and fight if they survive.

Stoke and Fulham need a serious look over their shoulder. Other than those two a young Villa side could go either way and WBA without goals this season......

[n_const]

Seen that Cardiff are top of the table .... for supporters banned for life Off to the city stadium Wednesday for the Wales game and cant wait.

Gary Medel seems a very good buy im looking forward to seeing him play.

[oj121]

That can work both ways though. At least they are banning their dregs and trying to clean up!
