CITY CLOSING IN ON DEAL

Sun Aug 12, 2012 7:53 pm

Cardiff are in talks with an experienced defender who has PL experience.

He is not the young player I mentioned in the update but a player I would consider to be a squad player but more than capable of holding down a first team spot if/when he displaces one of the regulars.

The deal is not done and is at a delicate stage.

He will add height and strength to the defence should we complete the deal, which barring any hiccups I would imagine would be completed within a couple of days.

I will not divulge his name until the appropriate time.

Squad is certainly getting there :ayatollah:

we need two quality defenders in my opinion carl as its the same defence as last season who always looked like letting in a least a goal a game.
its alright having all this quality in midfield if we cant defend

Matt Kilgallon is a central defender and left-back. Two positions covered. Squad player. Simple!

Killgallon was the first player that came to mind, suppose it could be Danny Shittu aswell. Other possible ones are Clint Hill and Aaron Hughes?
