I I see discussion or whether to feel comfortable or concern

Nigel Blues / Nigel Harris:

I see discussion or whether to feel comfortable or concerned Cardiff are yet to make any signing. I start to feel a tad concerned.

There's time but we are the only League 1 club not to have done any deal.

The other 23 clubs have already made 84 first team squad signings.

There have been some excellent freebie signings that could have suited us too. Huddersfield are one of a few going strong.

Hopefully BBM and Team are working towards deals are we are short on experience, League One know how and leadership. Need to address this sooner than later

Playing catch up again annis same old every summer,that paul Abbandonato says we have a good transfer window every summer

My only fear with the manager is he is happy to work with what he has,
and youngsters from the academy we may have a few youngsters in on loans from somewhere, but to date no "old ish" experienced heads.

BBM o ly been here a week.
Give him a chance to look at what he has .
Most players contracted until end of June. 1 day ago

Maybe tan has said no to any signings and to go with what we've got

I have a feeling he's gonna try save as much money as possible and try to sell anyone who's worth a few million

Could be trying to recoup as much money as possible before he sells up

The majority of league 1 teams would have beat us last season. No new signings could mean a middle to bottom table finish. Nothing new tho, the club is an absolute shambles. The only hope is that Bale & Co can persuade Tan to sell, however that would take time to come to fruition. Let's hope we can produce some good performances under BBM.

100%. Plenty of time for signings and BBM needs to see what he has first. Far too much negativity. If it rains some people will blame Tan on this board!

The manager has been here a week.

He’s already convinced the board to change the transfer strategy.

We were never going to have a ton of signings yet - what did people expect?

Plenty of time left, no need to panic.

Crucial that no key players have left yet either.

Our squad is good enough easily for league one if we don't lose any more .not sure we need to sign anymore, bbm just needs to get the best out of the players already here.

That's true.

There are new signings coming in, BBM has torn up the signing list that was in place, he is going to make his own signings, that is why we are a little behind but not something to worry about.
You may be surprised at who we bring in

Is there any delay because of the potential take over I wonder? VT doesn’t want to be spending a penny if he’s close to selling us?

Doesn’t concern me in the slightest.

Early days for BBM. He’ll be looking at what positions we need to improve based on who we have currently. I would argue signing someone in the first week would be rash and possibly could sign someone who isn’t as good as what we’ve already got.

I’d also be confident in the existing squad already being capable of competing at the top end of the table.

A lot of them are young and will improve this season compared to last, they’re playing lesser opposition and (hopefully) finally have a competent coach.

No need for all the doom and gloom IMO. Hope I’m right.

Every season is a total cock up why is this season any different

Love your teasers mate. Keep em coming

Would any of them be first team players though?

Ramsey can't play matches because he's constantly injured.

Ralls wouldn't start, also has a bad injury record.

El Ghazi was dreadful.

Goutas you could argue would be first team but he was always going to leave after Bulut went.



I don't think any are a massive miss.

Cockd it up by not having any of our main players leave? As for cocking it up regarding sighnings who have we sighned to have made a cockup of it? I thought window opened until Sept but must been mistaken and its already closed!
Letting tan choose players would be a cockup but he isn't ....bbm is so you'd think he'll get it right

When Malky arrived he only had 10 first team players on the books.

People need to get some perspective.

Wouldn’t go that far. More like bit part players.

El Ghazi - 27 appearances with 1176 minutes played. Averaging 43 minutes per appearance. Over a 46 game period it drops to 25 minutes.

Ramsey - 11 appearances in all competitions. Don’t need to say any more.

Ralls - 21 appearances. 1150 minutes. Even less than El Ghazi.

Goutas - 36 appearances.

Only Goutas could be seen as a key player. And it was well known that he was leaving.

Goutas will be a miss I think.

Ralls and Ramsey will be a miss off the field but not on it.

El Ghazi was totally underwhelming.

This forum is a grim read recently.

It's chip-paper stuff if we start the season with a strong squad, as that's when it matters... not now.

Next weeks moan - "Never heard of him"

The week after that's moan - "Why have we sold 'insert Championship players name here that doesn't want to be here' for £Millions"

The thread complaining about the backroom staff is hilarious. When did football fans become even privy to backroom staff, never mind critiquing them???

Tan out, absolutely. That won't change if we go up as Champions, but this groundhog day of negativity is beyond.

(For those optimists, keep going. The club needs you!!)

Pointless stressing, lots of player contracts end in June so From July 1st the transfer market will soon see lots of activity..

My point was a reply to Worcester that they where quality players not just nobody's not on about how many games they played and they have to be replaced with not just nobody's.

The point is how important would those players be? Not very in my opinion.

Completely agree with this.

I've said before that it appears some people's hatred of Tan has made them blind to everything else.

I want Tan out but I am still confident with this managerial appointment.

As for the coaches, what really matters is the manager knows and trusts them. It does not matter that they are not names. In a way it helps, because there's nobody behind the scenes who wants to take the manager job - like Riza did with BBM.

It's also nonsense that it's the cheap option. We could have got Buckingham with no compensation but instead paid compensation for both BBM and Riley.

You are also spot on with everything else you say.
