What's the guys success rate on rumours?
Fri Jan 04, 2013 12:11 am
I think he has had a look on this forum
Fri Jan 04, 2013 12:12 am
I'm not even exicted by the signing but it wouldn't suprise me considering MM been chasing him in January.
He haven't had a look in at Bolton. What do Bolton thinks of him? Do they want him to get into the line up? or?

Well Mr Abraham is linking it on his Twitter...
I'm the leader NOW !!!!!
On a serious note though, this has to be the worst kept secret in South Wales...
Fri Jan 04, 2013 12:20 am
i think he will be a decent signing, he is still young i thought he was older than 21
we wouldve loved him last year, and the argument of we need to buy players who could play in the prem kind of grates me a little because we are not in the prem yet, lets focus on getting there, then we can get players who can play there, if we get them now thats a plus, but why pay way over the odds in january when we could not even make it, he will be a good signing imo

Great.

I remember similar apathy when we signed Jay Bothroyd, he turned out rather well for us in the end..
Fri Jan 04, 2013 12:40 am
I'm undecided on this one. He looked pretty good in the olympics but hes not getting a sniff at bolton after 2 managers so makes you wonder.

I'm hoping Bolton don't have the team backup to let Sordell play his natural game, therefore he isn't playing. Noone was similar, Brighton fans always said he was the lesser of their wingers and they had Lua Lua and Buckley. noone sat on the bench a lot.

And Helgusson and even Noone a little if I remember, he fits the system. Is young and knows where the goal is.

and hes still 21! knows malky, the more i think about it the more exited i am

Will be a great signing with the midfielders we have. Won't do the job like Maynard would but he'll definitely chip inn with a few goals.
Then we'll have 3 Olympic players in our squad
Fri Jan 04, 2013 1:54 am
yes shocked sordell is 21 still
Very good point made about noone,i find it unbelievable he rarely played 90 mins for brighton,clearly an inferior side to ourselves
I truly belive sordell will hit the ground running at cardiff
Fri Jan 04, 2013 5:45 am
Players play well if a manager believes in them. The managers haven't believed in Sordell at Bolton. Its no wonder they are struggling. If he was given a chance he'd probably have scored for fun by now but the managers would rather go for names than people who get the job done, more fool them.
Fri Jan 04, 2013 6:48 am
This is not breaking news im afraid
Fri Jan 04, 2013 7:21 am
Bolton are close to signing craig davies from barnsley,sordells replacement maybe
Fri Jan 04, 2013 10:41 am
If true could be a good bit of business by MM, Correct me if I am wrong but MM was willing to pay 2.5 to 3m for him last year. Surely now with Bolton wanting to off load him Cardiff would get him him at half that price. Remember MM has been very cute in the transfer market and he mentored him at Watford. Surely if you work for a gaffa you respect it will bring out the best in you!!!
He was scoring all of the time when playing regular football, he was never given a chance at Bolton even when Coyle was there.

We will pick him up for £1M.

Noone was on the bench a lot at Brighton, yet right now he's one of the best wingers in the league.
Who says the same can't happen for Sordell? Striking wise of course.
Fri Jan 04, 2013 2:15 pm
Ok. Sordell was very very good at Watford, his strike rate, in this division, for a 20yr old
was excellent.
Whats gone wrong at Bolton? None of us have a clue. We hear he is homesick, does not
like it up North, does not get on with the manager/s etc etc
If Malky can get him back and continue his progression then that must mean he rates him
higher than he rates Joe Mason, and Joe is not far off being a very good player.
If he comes. I believe he will score plenty, and at 21, has time to improve

Spare us the spin Dave, we got lucky missing out on him first time, this will be a most underwhelming signing.

Sordell will be class once his full fitness is regained, and has a malky arm around his shoulder!
He has pace, awareness and good vision. I fully back Malky signing Sordell.
(if it is in fact true)When we were signing the likes of Helguson, Smith, and even Bellamy in some respects, we had all the cardiff city forum managers moaning on here, they were shite, injury prone, past it, slow, do not make our team better??
Look where we are now, utilising Malky's judgment! So we are trying to sign a young, prospective talent and we get the same old response!
I hope
IF we sign him, he does extremely well, hits 10-15 goals and watch people eat their words....
Some of the fans on here make me laugh and cringe all in one go! #fm13Experts!

FM13??
I am still on FM11. If I was to upgrade to FM13 do you think that would make me a better manager/Understand the game more?
Fri Jan 04, 2013 3:00 pm
Amazed that people are negative about this potential signing.
He'll be raring to to and will really contribute to our run-in.
Fri Jan 04, 2013 3:03 pm
a lot of people have bought the darren bent,kenwyn jones/cameon jerome nonsense
sordell would be a great signing

Here, here we have no chance of signing Bent due to his ability which would make him an ideal buy for other prem clubs and his wage demands.
In Malky we trust
