Cardiff City target former Swansea City star David Cotterill as they look to bring Birmingham City man home

WalesOnline understands the 27-year-old is on Cardiff’s radar as they look to make their first significant signing of the summer.

He is absolute crap. We really are starting to pay the price for returning to blue.

He's not the best or most exciting player to watch but his final ball and crossing are excellent.

If we are playing with Kenwyn Jones and Eion Doyle up front I can see why Slade would want a player with the quality he would bring in terms of delivering the ball into dangerous areas.

so crap he was statistically one of the most creative players in the championship.

He was great for Wales. A good signing I'd say...if he comes. Could be just a walesonline invention though.

Can someone explain how 9 goals and 8 assists. (More than Whittingham) and more than Harris, Pilkington and Noone combined. Is 'scraping the barrell'?

I agree and would love some optimism that some of the players who we are looking at can perform. Look at Murphy last season shit for 8 yrs, awesome last year.
I think Cotterell can be a good asset :ayatollah:

Apart from Quinn and Ameobi (which were actually publicised on this forum BEFORE WalesOnline posted), every single person that we have been linked with through WalesOnline has been nonsense. Everything they post is pure speculation in terms of transfer 'news'. I wouldn't think too much into this Cotterill rumour.

I take it then that either you rate Cotterill as a player or that Tan still loves us despite having to back down over the rebrand. Or maybe both because it takes all sorts...

Slade tried to sign him in Jan, fee was agreed but they couldn't sort out personal terms.

100% wants the move

Not sure 'significant' is the right word to describe this transfer.

Re: ' CARDIFF CITY TARGET FORMER SWANSEA STAR '

Fri Jul 03, 2015 4:33 pm

He is a big City fan.

Don't believe he,s been a star player anywhere though!

On a par with what we have. Not better

Re: ' CARDIFF CITY TARGET FORMER SWANSEA STAR '

Meh, I'd take him

A good signing this would be but lets be honest some on here would pick holes if we signed Mesi or Roalado lol

Re: ' CARDIFF CITY TARGET FORMER SWANSEA STAR '

An improvement on what we've got. The best player in a very average Birmingham team last year, who despite finishing 2 points above us were very poor at times last year :sladein:

He's crap agree with above, we are going backwards at pace......

Re: ' CARDIFF CITY TARGET FORMER SWANSEA STAR '

David's got 1 year left on his contract we have enquired for him but Birmingham want to much money for him at the moment so cardiff have left it.. be interesting to see if we offer more.

Apparently they want 2.5 million when if January they wanted just over a million

Someone doesn't want to believe the truth, no matter how obvious it is.

Re: ' CARDIFF CITY TARGET FORMER SWANSEA STAR '

Bumped into him earlier, true he wanted to come in January, seems it fell down at the Birmingham end.

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=159820 told you he will be after the scraps

Re: ' CARDIFF CITY TARGET FORMER SWANSEA STAR '

I like him , played very well against us at St. Andrews ..

Re: ' CARDIFF CITY TARGET FORMER SWANSEA STAR '

Average championship player at best , Rodgers bombed him out as soon he realised he promised more than he could deliver

He is definitely not crap. He would be a good player for us.

Is he only 27. I thought he must be 30 something. Decent signing

Re: ' CARDIFF CITY TARGET FORMER SWANSEA STAR '

Not for me, TBH! I believe he once said he would "never" play for Cardiff city FC after he felt rejected as a youngster and had to move into a caravan! ;)

In fairness, I actually think he's a decent player though! :thumbup:
