I do hope we bring more than one in.

Granted BBM likes a small squad but I'm sure even he would ideally want more than one.

Every squad needs a bit if a freshen up in Jan, especially those fighting relegation or gunning for promotion.

It will all depend on whether Tan wants to continue to do this on a tiny budget I suppose.

1m spent on financing a few loans would secure promotion. Without it, we could still get there but why take the risk. We have no youngsters left to call upon now. Should anything happen to our key players (Salech especially where goals would dry up), we could find ourselves limping towards the line.

Come on Tan, be smart, ensure this reset ends up being the best thing to happen to Cardiff City in recent years!!!



We have had colwill out for a long period we recently had bagan and kellyman out and kapakio imagine if these we long injuries such as rubin and we had failed to cover all eventualities this is why we need to sign on loan quality players for cover ,what a shame it would be to miss out on promotion because we failed to cover injuries,
we have rid ourselves again with a lot of players so our bench would look rather thin if we loose say 3 regulars.

Agree with you Monty. I might be wrong but not incl The USA keeper and Etete, with the extra keeper we've signed (and assuming we bring in a left back), we have a squad of 23 (20 outfield players). I've not ever heard of a squad being that small. It's just such a risk to go the next 20 games with that number.

We could still blow everyone out of the water as is, but why take the risk.

3 signings would ensure we get there and imagine going into the championship with this momentum. Very little dead wood left to remove. That would be the reset of all resets!!!

Hopefully we are just panicking over nothing and the transfer cogs are moving in the background

I agree all we want is not to f.ck up our chances of promotion ,if we new no player was going to be injured or suspended for 3 matches all well and good,
but that's on a wing and a prayer.

I've seen him play like I said in another thread he's quick and tricky but small I found although works hard from the games I've seen him which is what BBM wants :bluescarf:

Not seen him, but if BBM thinks he can do a job… :thumbup:

Billy Ronson (in midfield) was ‘small’, but remains one of my all-time favourite Bluebird players! :ayatollah:

Definitely Sven if they work there socks off and good enough it don't matter what or where they are from BBM sees things we don't. I've seen this player skin full backs time after time but looks small that's about it and got quick feet and tricky :bluescarf:

1 week left more or less tick tock city. Same old last minute shit no doubt then weeks on end to get them up to speed before you see them play. Kills me. :bluescarf:
