Cardiff, somewhat surprisingly, this week sanctioned a move that saw defender Matthew Connolly join Championship leaders Watford on loan.
This loan arrangement, which appeared to come completely out of the blue, was agreed to see him spent the remainder of the season at Vicarage Road. You would assume this is a 'loan with the option' at the end of it? Although Russell Slade has said it was 'a business decision' and he could still have a future with Cardiff.
Connolly's versatility, as he can play right along the back four, would have appealed to Watford so you can't say that it's a surprise a side chasing promotion wanted him but it was a surprise that we let him go! He had played five of our last six-matches, including the full 90-minutes of our one-one draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday.
A strange one, you would also have to assume that this was a move that he wanted to make?
Back at the Cardiff City Stadium though is Rhys Healey; he was due to see out the season on loan with Colchester in League 1 but the strikers been recalled by Slade. It remains to be seen if he'll be involved in the first-team squad though? If he wasn't why recall him!
