' CCFC - NO MORE PLAYERS TO BE SIGNED '

Cardiff City will not be bringing in any new players during the loan window senior sources at the club have informed WalesOnline.

08/10/2015

There had been speculation manager Russell Slade would look to add to his options with a midfielder and striker both reportedly a target.

But we understand the Bluebirds’ hierarchy in particular now sees the Cardiff squad as complete for the moment and more than capable of excelling in this season’s Championship. There is a belief the quality and depth of squad is now in place to push at the top end of the table without bringing in any more new faces ahead of the closing of the loan window on November 25.

Slade has indeed confounded many of his critics by guiding the Bluebirds to an impressive start to a season that is the former Leyton Orient boss’ first full one in charge in the Welsh capital.



With ten games played Cardiff currently sit eighth in the table having lost only two matches so far this term. In their final outing ahead of the international break Slade's men earned a battling 1-1 draw at table-topping Brighton.

We have also been told a meeting will be held in December between Slade and the club’s board to devise a strategy ahead of the opening of the January transfer window at the start of the new year.

Cardiff’s position in the table then will be taken into account, but early indications are Slade may not see too much room for manoeuvre when it comes to bringing in new players then either.

The thought within the club is that even if the Bluebirds do encounter injuries, there are still plenty of players within the squad capable of stepping into the starting XI to cover absentees without a dip in quality.

I agree that the squad is good enough but I do think that the new striker needs to hit the ground running

Totally agree Wez - 1-2 signings could make the difference this season

agree ,as long as slade gets the best out of the squad we should be near promotion ,I do think if t be new striker and machdea find form they will be like new signings

I've said from day one,this squad is quality and is prob the best in the Championship,even without Slades 12-13 players.

Dalman said to us at Brighton,he felt we did not need any new players and that Slade had a good enough squad to get us promoted.

He also said even in January they would prob at best only let Slade sign a player with pace if Saadi did not do the job they feel he can do.

The squads good enough Now over to Russell Slade

Says complete for the time being? So room for more maybe?

Just what I think.

I think a striker should have been signed for if Saadi doesn't hit the ground running.

Steve and don't us fans who attend matches actually do this?

Everyone that I sit/ stand by do

Watched them train today down the vale from the jacuzzi area and they are for sure a commited and happy bunch at present. Fabios commitment and intensity in training was a joy to watch, but what was more pleasing was the clear banter between the lads!

Here Here.

David Marshall, Fabio and Bruno Ecuele Manga are up there for the best in their position in the Championship. Kenwyne Jones and Joe Mason both decent up front and got a solid group of experienced midfielders.

Managed correctly and we can be in for a good season!

Let's see where we are in January.

We've still a very good squad

and its over to us fans to get behind slade and the players

Putting the away support aside as they are doing a fantastic job, its the home support which is not fit for purpose. Apparently we are the 'hard core' support as we haven't abandoned the club. However, you wouldn't know it from the atmosphere at CCS.

Therefore you are absolutely right the missing link is us the fans getting behind the team/Slade and we should start pulling our collective weight.

Correct, the vast majority of crowds home and away turn up and are behind slade and the team

The fact that he has used very few players so far means that when injuries occur, or players go stale, then there are suitable and enthusiastic replacements readily available who will be like new players. Macheda, Saadi, Turner and Manga have not really been seen yet. We haven't even seen much of Gunnarsson who will be keen to impress when he does get a chance. I remain quietly confident.

If this story is accurate, then it shows a distinct lack of ambition as well as being shortsighted,because I personally don't think the squad has strength and quality in depth so when injuries happen, and they will, we will struggle
