' UPDATED ' TUESDAY 30TH AUGUST 2016


I can confirm Cardiff City have now been in talks with Kyle Lafferty about personal terms and with Norwich City about a season long loan, but the only stumbling block is Norwich want Cardiff to pay all his wages and City I believe still are only offering half of them.

And Norwich have completed the signing of Portugal international Nelson Oliveira from Benfica on a four-year deal, they now won't want Rafferty even more.








' Cardiff City are on the verge of Signing '

Ive just been told Cardiff City are on the verge of Signing Norwich City's Kyle Lafferty on a season long loan.

Just two obstacles to be solved.

Norwich don't want him to play again them on both matches this season.

Norwich want City to pay his wages in full for the season, City want to pay 50%, so a lot needs sorting there.

Hopefully they sort things out before Wednesday 31st August as no more loan signings after that date,not even emergency ones.

Better than Fred, Ken and Pilkington. On that basis he would be a good signing.

I think the not playing against Norwich is a cert as we usually pull that one when we loan out. If we can get him on 50% wages then it's a brilliant deal

Never proved anything gets club Evelyn but I do favour him than what we have. He is not quick though and feel pace up front is needed

Does'nt score much. But likes to put himself about a bit and battle.

Yet another cheap option...although in fairness this might be a decent signing...but still no pace in the team whatsoever

yes, and for this season these are good attributes

Crazy how fans have been saying for years we need a goal scorer and then this deal becomes likely and they're happy?
The guy doesn't score. He's just another over paid player who will come in and do f**k all. Rather play Alf all season and see what he does.

give the guy a chance ffs

Would rather have a short pacey striker rather than another big lump but it's better than nothing.

Only one problem, he doesn't score goals, and has never been a prolific goal scorer. But if we are happy to sign a player who may score 5 or 6 goals in a season, then Great

This isn't the signing we need. We need a pacey goal scorer something he is not. I don't like talking about new signings like this but this transfer is doomed. Sorry. I think Alf and Pilks up top would be a better option for us.

Jay Bothroyd was very inconsistent and did not settle before becoming one of the best players ive seen in a blue shirt.

At this moment I don think there is much choice out there within out price range so more than willing to give him a shout. If hes hard working and a willing runner he wont go far wrong. Just hope he can chip in with a few at the same time

Mate,thats why we are signing him

Shit striker and a wanker off the field!
Not surprised were going in for him, shows lack of ambition, guarantee he won't get us 10 goals, he'l flop big time!!

Play Le Fondre and get Saadi back.

Also drop the 5 at the back formation

We need a forward or two so bring em in I say

Lafferty and LeFondre might be interesting?

Could be what we need as LeFondre looks better alongside a big man.

I think ppl underestimate him he's a right handful and I think he'll surprise a few with his ability to occupy defenders

I would be happy with this and could even make the 5-3-2 thing work with two proper strikers.

Its been made clear that le fondre will never play for Cardiff again.Left on the bench when we needed a goal says it all
Lafferty will just be another big lump up top,plus what kind of service will he be getting from our midfield that cant pass water

Not a bad signing i think he holds the ball up well , throws himself about and makes space for his team mates but hes not a prolific goal scorer.

Are you two related or friends?

Fraizer Campbell would be great. Latterly just hasn't done it at club level so far. Defo the cheap option. We must sign another striker, or we are DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

People sayin he aint a goalscorer he banged them in for n.ireland in world cup qualifiers so theres evidence he is a goalscorer right there. Aint had a fair crack at norwich hes had appearances off the bench and played out wide. Lafferty and le fondre could be a good combination! Or immers playing in number 10 behind lafferty!

I agree, I had high hopes on Saadi this season, then he went on loan.

Football league rules state he can't play against parent club anyway, so need for Norwich to ask for that

You can be banging goals in at international level against opposition that frankly is barely above League 2 level.

Really it's his goalscoring record at Championship level and above that's the only indicator you can use and that is no better than average.

However I think he has to be a better bet than Fred or Zohore at the moment as neither of them seem to be able to make any telling contribution.
