This however would be a great signing.

For what it’s worth, I think there’s wisdom in separating what people have shared about Tan, with what people are sharing about Ken Choo

Plenty of internal stories coming from Cardiff staff about Choo. There’s enough similar stories that have been shared about Ken Choo to corroborate that he’s highly likely a poor manager, treats people poorly, is regularly unavailable but hasn’t delegated enough responsibility out. Everyone is welcome to believe what they’d like about the management, for better or worse.. it’s a matter of who you believe. I’m not inside the club so I can only base my opinion on the stories I do hear

It’s whether those stories are connected to our recruitment of players

Also says that he expects us to sign at least one today.


It's gone from expecting at least three over the last few days to "hopefully" one.


You obviously don't know what "at least" means.

Thankfully I'll be long gone from this forum by the next summer window. Honestly become disillusioned this summer due to the constant point scoring against Tan.


Don't let it get to you too much - it's only a messageboard when all is said and done.

Life would be boring if we all had the same view of everything.

Swansea are now being linked with Reyes Cleary. Another winger who fits the bill. What on earth is going on?

Watching the teams around us getting good business done while we stand still is painful.

Think I might just log back in tomorrow and pray for something positive.

As good as things are performance-wise at the moment, this squad is nowhere near deep enough. A bad run of results or a couple of injuries and BBM would be left with his hands tied, with very few options to change things.

We haven't singed anyone, but it's worth remembering we have managed to keep hold of Etete.

Sensible comments and correct; injuries have already hurt us and will continue to do so without a few more in, although I can't see it happening.

It is a decent squad; we will need to be extremely lucky with injuries and will need to protect the small squad with loads of rotation.

Apparently Edozie turned us down. Not sure how reliable it is.


Man City academy product - at the same time BBM was manager, and he doesn't want to come here.

Shocked, I am. Shocked, I tell you.

I thought I would stay calm today but I’m starting to get frustrated. We have the best manager we’ve had here in years and possibly in my lifetime. All we need to do is support him with a few transfers. He will make us more money that it will cost with the development of the academy lads that will be sold on. Why won’t they back him!!!? Hope this comment looks stupid by midnight when we bring in 2 or three quality players but I just don’t see it

It could be made-up bollocks, though, just to get a last-minute move; anyone can say anything, and they do, or he might be a lazy b*stard who likes to just pick up the pay for doing nowt.

Does sound like it could have been a target, though, but if he's not coming, that's it on to the next.

Yes - all possible.

But the word is very few work with BBM & his team twice.

Ronald is going to Millwall to replace Azeez so that's one gone.

We haven't sold any of our top players.

You’re right we Havnt, but we let one of our best players of last season go for nothing without replacing him in Wintle. (Bielik confirmed he was brought in as a CB) Which is a hell of a lot worse.

That was the manager's decision. Some may disagree with it (I disagreed with the decision to sign a CB although Bielik looks good), but we have to respect the manager's decisions.

Latest from Glen:

“ I'm told that as things stand, it's likely that Cardiff's transfer business is over. That's a big surprise to me and I know it will be a disappointment to many fans.

Like I've said, it's a talented squad with huge promise, but I feel it's very light in key areas.

BBM as recently as Saturday said he wanted to improve the squad further, but it appears targets have been missed or gone elsewhere and the back-up options have not hit the mark.

Still 5 hours to go but barring some big changes, I can't see the situation changing much.“

I just hope we dont lose bbm due to the incompetence of those running the club ,

The promises of better communication was bollocks

The apparent backing of bbm bollocks

These idiots are taking us all for a ride and in my opinion have ruined all the good will built up from last seasons amazing achievements, they all need to go now ,
