Cardiff City preparing deal to sign Premier League midfield

Why January and not over the summer? However circumstances do change very quickly in Football. For me he would be perfect and would fit in to the hard working ethos at the club, brings great experience. Some will say he left etc, but that's fans wearing a fans hat. 99% if not more people would take an opportunity to earn more money doing the same job, fans don't want to hear that as football is a fantasy to some and a fairytale to others but in reality that's the truth.

It was the way it was done and NOT the fact that it was done that has alienated Joe to many!

Quote (above): "but given the player’s affection for the club..."

Some will agree and some will disagree, but ultimately it was a 'planned' move to maximise Joe's earning potential and not to realise true footballing ambition, so the above quote is a little 'stretchy' at best!

Spot on Sven, I agreed with you in a previous thread about Ledley too and share your exact thoughts. I don't rate him and I don't want to see him playing for us again.

It seems we broadcast to the whole football world what we are doing so emerging other clubs, we end up with no one as player signs for someone else?

Yes it's a problem that the club have had for a number of years. I can recall them losing out on players like Jodie Morris and Marcus Bent when the players had almost signed but then were tempted by bigger offers by other clubs - Rowan Vine was another one.

In some ways I wish that we heard nothing about who the club were interested in until they are holding up the shirt having signed on the dotted line. As a fan, however I am always interested to hear about who we may be signing.

I hope Joe signs - he would be a great asset to the club.

Ledley would be stupid to come to us especially with turmoil still at our club.
There will be better clubs to come in for him.

What turnmoil ? The club since slade has come in is steady I think your living in the past

Agree with Slade, I've supported him since he came here and still do.
But who wants to come to a club who only wants to pay low wages as we are cost cutting which is sensible.
Come to a club who will cut costs again due to 8000 fans not renewing.
We are always in the media because of our dictator Tan who has split our clubs supporters.
Ledley CAN do better than come to Cardiff.
Cardiff would be a backward step for him at the moment.

Turmoil? If we are in turmoil what does that make Lot's of other clubs in champ who are worse off than us?

Our club financially is in turmoil FACT

I don't think we are in turmoil we are playing well in the top 6 ,back in blue and 14 k fans who get behind there team ,the club have a good squad ,the club have also cut costs ,can't see much turmoil at the minute ,even tan has kept his mouth shut for a good while ,I think some fans need to move on

Yes agree with TANs mouth, but financially we are in turmoil with supporters who are definitely split.

Saying FACT at the end of something doesn't make it a fact - we may be heavily in debt but we are certainly no longer in "turmoil" - "turmoil" would be where the administrators come in.

What happens when our parachute payments run out and our club the business trying to support itself with 14000 supporters. The debt payments must be sky high.

What payments? Tan loaned club money he's only creditor of note! And he's not going to demand money club doesn't have is he?

Couldn't agree more

In my dreams I see a Cardiff side being successful and fielding a host of Welsh players..

In turmoil what turmoil?? Yes we were in turmoil when tan got us red and fans turning against each other, The Malky Mackay saga was a turmoil, relegation, Having Ole gunnar Solskjaer buying shit players and shit football ect... but were back in blue, fans are a lot happier and the club is in good health, the players seem to be playing good football and also top 6 in which we can go for promotion if we all just support the team rather than the negatives!
