it's pretty clear after the Man Utd game that we need another CB but why spend monies when we already have an international CB in Medal?

Medel plays in a three, he doesn't track runners and is woefully out of form.

Ive been watching Bundesliga matches for about 17 years. Rincon inst really a bad player but I seriously don't believe hes good enough to help get us out of the situation we find ourselves.
He has 54 Caps for Venezuela but Hamburg have really been struggling this season...and anybody can look good in a 2 minute Youtube vid...
Maybe if slots in next to Medel they could bring out the best in one-another...
Not against the player but there is a Risk.....worth 2.5 Million apparently

Medel defends his midfield like a centre half. to explain. he sits in the hole and reacts to the
opposing team. Thats ok. I watched Rincon maybe half dozen times when in Germany. nobody
can pass him as Right Back. i think best position is defensive midfield. hard to explain but he
plays 10 metre further up and tries breaking up moves before they start. he is very good for
positioning so when opponents look up for the long early ball they see a team member AND they
see Rincon in the vicinity it makes them maybe thing again. Very very good player better than
Medel and no offence would think him a top tier player so great if Cardiff sign him

Please, Please, Please Be true.

I have said all along look in the German League as there are so many great hidden talents.

If this is true and we get "the General" for a decent/cheap price I'm sure he will do a great job for us.

Perhaps I'm biased towards The German Style of Football But a South American Star Playing in the Bundesliga has got to be a good bet. :thumbup:

Sign him up Malky (I mean Ole)!!!! :o

If we are going down, which I hope not boy's, lets do it in style eh !!!!!! :notworthy:

Blooobirds Forever !!!! :old: :thumbup: :old: :thumbup: :D

This guy can also play RB, what we need as well


Do we really need ANOTHER RB though? Super Kev, Theo, Brayford and Connolly - but we need another?!

Re: ' Cardiff City in talks with Hamburg midfielder '

Yes. We need a right back. Super Kev is brilliant but not Premiership quality.

On the left, young Deckers has done well but needs more development as a defender.

2. Both Rincon and Medel play in midfield allowing us to utilise a 4-2-3-1 in a perfect way with 4 going forward and our attacking full backs supporting with Rincon and Medel providing cover.
