' CARDIFF CITY STRIKER IDRISS SAADI ??? '

Cardiff City striker Idriss Saadi ,the 23-year-old marksman, what has happened to him? ? ?

Russell Slade,Ken Choo,Mehmet Dalman all had high hopes for Saddi.
I remember Ken Choo saying to me last November that Saddi will be the player we have been missing and his pace will be the answer.

Idriss Saadi signed for Cardiff City over eight months ago, after impressing at French Second Division club Clermont.

Saadi arrived unfit and just getting over an injury,the French under-19 international, who is of Algerian descent has also been niggled with injuries during his current eight month current spell at the Bluebirds.

But the striker was suppose to be the answer to the goals that were needed,plus the extra pace that was missing from Russell Slade's Cardiff City team.

There has been concerns about his current fitness level,Saddi seems to have finally over come his injuries,but does seem to have not impressed Russell Slade in training, enough to bring him in the first team.

There are strong rumours in the club that Saddie could be on his way out this Summer?

Despite making his return at the start of this term, before signing for the Bluebirds for an undisclosed fee, doubts remained over whether he had fully overcome his serious injury.

Not given a chance like so many! Including the youngsters?

Give Slade another contract if we go up lmao, he has done a good job but if we want to move to the next level then get rid.

Saadi looks good has all the attributes, he might not show much in training but we will never know unless he gets a chance.

Wouldn't surprise me if he got his chance due to injuries and scored a few, Slade would then come out and say he always new he was good. Come on Slade be honest, check your account in Panama while you're at it :ayatollah:

Ken Choo has done great for the club in his role but he knows very little about the actual game.

Its not like your hero Tony has a better record of playing kids though is it...

You do realise that we have a younger average age in our side than West Brom by about 4 years.

In fact last season West Brom had the oldest side in the premier league.

But anything to have a go at Slade with eh?

Oh and just for the record before this becomes a Slade versus Pulis thread I'd have loved Pulis to come much like everyone else because he is a City fan and a cracking manager.

But he didnt and the man that did is doing a pretty decent job so he has my support regardless of what x,y or z manager is doing elsewhere.

With regards to Saadi I think that it may be a case of Slade not being prepared to take a risk with so much at stake.

He's proven himself to be cautious in the past and seems to be a believer in keeping a settled side without to much changing unless it's forced upon him.

Add to this the arrival of Zohore who gives us a different option off the bench in that we can go more direct with a big man and Saadi has just slipped down the pecking order again.

That said I really would like to see him get a chance but when the pressure is on to grind out 4 wins out of 6 maybe it's a case of if it ain't broke don't fix it?

After speaking with someone down the club the truth is he is simply not cutting it in training and has not been for quite some time, the same goes for a few boys who people think should be in the team

Lots of people were calling for slades head this season, people saying this person should be given a chance or this person, but we need to remember individuals do not make teams, if they aren't trying in training, if they are not giving 100% then playing them sends the wrong attitude to the rest

Slade has got a group of players he trusts, look at the team at the top of the Premier league, you can name their starting 11 week in week out and the subs, belief in that team is the key

Malty never played hard any of tans signings why should slade if he's not good enough as that's what the manager thinks of him clearly. But let's blame slade anyway its his player :lol:

Annis I never claim to be in the know, rarely do I post on here anything as such but on this one I was told it was a Tan signing. Before people think it's a pop at Tan, far from it and if immers is a tan signing then he did well on that one. :thumbup: I posted how long he would be out despite the club trying to swerve this question, I was correct.

I have been told that Saadi is simply not good enough ( not slades opinion ) by three different people. One of the quotes were " strong quick but terrible and one if the worst I seen not sure who signed him " I am disappointed but so are many. He won't feature in a city shirt. :bluescarf:

I don't think Saadi is a Slade signing.

Just as I don't think Zohore or Immers were Slade signings. I don't think Slade would be looking to Europe for players as all his knowledge and experience is in the lower leagues.

Slade will have chosen Revell and Doyle and we all know how that worked out. i also think Peltier and Malone were Slade signings. Peltier has done quite well but I still think Malone is very suspect with his defending.

O'Keefe has been a decent signing by Slade.

It would appear that Choo and Dalman have not been particularly supportive of Slade and I wonder if there's a little bit of payback by Slade in not picking players he did not have much say in signing in much the same way that Velikonia was not given a chance by Malky because he was a Tan signing rather than a Malky signing.

Or it could just be that Saadi and Velikonia are just shit.

Similar to what I was told by three different people, fans don't see behind the scenes. We all screamed for Kennedy yet he gets sent back from port vale early as no game time because he wasn't good enough. :thumbup:

Gareth, I always believed Saadi was as Dalman and Choo rated him highly and as everyone knows they are not fans of Slade. it's prob Tan who continues to make the bad signings not Slade :lol:

Many of us were excited by Saadi signing

Another quality striker like guerra wasted by slade imo, like someone else said on here slade dosent like taking risks way to conservative and steady eddy manager and has got strange some will say clueless ideas and that is why we will miss out on play offs in my opinion and like his history shows slade will never get this team promoted

But how do you know he is quality? Because he had a decent shot when he played for 15 mins and scored a goal for DVP team?

I trust Slade's opinion. He has been proved right on all the players that were 'controversially' loaned out. So I don't doubt the manager if he thinks Saadi not worth a place upfront
