Ameobi and noone out wide

We would be very hard to handle with a attacking force like that


With our average central midfield, how would they get the ball :?

The team needs a marauding central midfielder in the Kav mould.

City need a pacy attacking midfielder.

City need a clinical striker.

Ledley and Campbell do not fit either bill.

Jones needs to stay - he's a goal threat. The only one City have. Yes he is paid too much but that's the nature of the beast. He would need to be replaced by someone who can score - Campbell is a willing runner but not good enough.


Campbell's not good enough for the Champiosnhip? What's his goals ratio in this league? :roll:

Slade said he wants a big & mobile striker ..... Campbell is mobile but not big . So who do we reckon on then ?

Re: UPDATED City close to signing three players

Mon Aug 24, 2015 2:42 pm

Is Carlton Cole available? Would be a good shout. Maybe wages out of our reach though.
Vaughan @ Huddersfield?
Not big & pacy but would be happy with McAleney again on loan
As for midfielder, dunno!

Would love it to be Joe Ledley and Frazier Campbell.

Ledley is way down the order of their midfielders and frazier campbell is now 5/6th choice striker.

Would be a good move to get them in on loan, 2 fan favourites too.

Which is why it was a question and not a statement. If I was dreaming I'd hope I could dream a bit higher that those three. :)

So Ledley is a fans' favourite is he ? Only for those with very short memories. Personally I cannot stand him. And I'm not one of the many so-called fans looking for an excuse to stop going to the CCs. But Ledley's return would finish it for me.

Of all the things to stop watching City, the rebrand fiasco, Malky-gate, Vinny Tan himself... nope, that swine JOE LEDLEY would be the reason to drop everything and stop supporting Cardiff City :laughing5:

Are you serious

Re: UPDATED City close to signing three players

Mon Aug 24, 2015 4:03 pm

As long as whoever we DO sign is done on the basis of a plan of where they will be utilised.

Obviously peltier was brought in because brayford wanted out. Whilst he is playing well, I still say we had better than malone in the squad already.
After that Slade is still picking players already at the club. Revell gets a game but again one would have to question his ability relative to what we already have.

SO looking at the other signing - Doyle - not playing. Mason, someone already at the squad is playing.
Okeefe - well looks reasonable enough in patches but not been able to oust existing player - witts, dikachoi, gunners, ralls all ahead
Kennedy looks good but slade is preferring Ralls, pilks, ameobi and Noone.

Before we spend on more players he should be looking at them to be adding something to his starting 11 not just taking up a squad place. We have plenty of squad players frankly.

Agree, Jon :thumbup:

I'm not a Ledley fan (each to their own) after the way he left, but I accept it wasn't all his fault!

Don't particularly want him back, but it wouldn't stop me going to watch the team either! ;)

You would stop supporting Cardiff if we signed Joe Ledley? Is that what you are saying? Each to his own but signing a Premier League and international player is a very good thing isn't it? :bluescarf:

Indeed I would. Like a would have done if Toshack had returned as manager after he had been with Swansea when he rubbished us at every opportunity. These things rankle with me. Far more than, for example the colour of shirts or the design of the badge. But I suppose each to their own.

I think you are in agreement with me there is nothing wrong with that.

Ridsdale dished out super wages to his mates Fowler, JFH and Sinclair and our best player was Ledley on a fraction of their money. We then turned down a bid for Ledley but didn't pay him what he was worth still. We treated him badly not him us. Ridsdale tried to take advantage of the lads loyalty.
