Will this be it on the striker front?

If Smith signs will this be the final signing in that department, I hope not because in my opinion we are still lacking pace.

Mason, Velikonja, Kim. Bellamy(?) all have pace. Smiths not exactly slow either.

Kims a winger, I assume Bellamy will play on the left wing, Mason can play there but we are still missing pace I think. Smith is not that quick IMO. Still need a Maynard or player in a similar mould. We get that and we'll cause mayhem in the division.

If we're playing with one up top which I think we will given our wealth of Midfield options and quality then the wingers will have more input in the final third.

Bellamy isn't really a winger he's a sort of an everywhere'er?

I'd expect Malky to play him on the left though if and when he signs.

There's so much depth in midfield and upfront now who knows really. We can easily play any formation which should keep opponents guessing, I certainly don't have a clue :ayatollah:

Defiantly lacking some super defenders but the defense we already have is good would be a waste to buy more at a similar level. hoping for some prem loans just to make sure!

The plastic army will not be f*cking satisfied until they sign about 4 30M plus strikers. Chirst almighty we have signed very good players thus far, the mind boggles it really f*cking does.

PS - Messi isn't signing for Cardiff any time soon so don't hold out on getting a Man Yoo ST just incase. Mr "I luvs the bluebirds since FA Cup final day".

On a serious note though, In my opinion we still need pace upfront, someone who can be a game changer, who would keep defenders on their toes. Signings made so far are very good, I agree. Just I'm my opinion I think we just need that player to change games. A plan b if you like

Smith plays out of the wings more than anything at most clubs hes been at but can play upfront but what ive seen of him over the years hes either played left wing or right wing and the odd upfront but i guess he would play out wide for us :ayatollah:

We haven't signed our mystery striker yet, so one more with Smith and Bellamy.
