Andrew, hold on to your beliefs in the transfer. Nothing has actually changed at this current time, and the Bluebirds are hoping to make an announcement on more than one player over the next few days

Sadly, there are one or two on here who don’t want any signings, as it suits their negative narrative

As always, despite the mockery of the likes of davids (who contributes little of note), these things do take time; particularly when the selling club are trying to ‘milk’ the situation for their own ends

If BBM wants the player, the club should back him, and they should only bring in those players BBM believes will improve the squad, not just add to it! :ayatollah:

The big difference this season are:
A huge jump in standard of league to play in.
BBM has had a full end of last season and a pre season to get his players in which he didn't have last season.
Dahl / Tromso using City to invite other interested teams to bid higher.
If a player wants to leave a club then put a transfer request in & down tools.
As far as I am aware Dahl has done none of these
We kick off our season in less than 3 weeks time.
We are missing three coaches / Under 21 manager.
We are missing replacements for Wintle, Kellyman and Scanlon.
You can not tell me this is all part of the plan!

The club are keeping future signings well under wraps, still really only this target in the press and being discussed.

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Mon Jul 27, 2026 1:08 pm

After the comments he made the other night, it doesn’t come across as he’s massively keen on signing for us.

The draw of European football from somewhere like Feyenoord might be a bigger pull for the lad.

I just hope the club make a wise decision on this and don’t end up paying a substantial amount for a lad who’s not really in to it.

Re-evaluate the situation and have a look at other targets

It would be nice if they "unwrapped" a few before the season starts!

Doubt this move will be completed till transfer deadline day.

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Mon Jul 27, 2026 9:56 pm

Nobody has offered anything near what we’ve offered.
Player’s terms agreed.
Dalman & Tan are completing negotiating with Tromso over the up front amount (including sell on as they want 20% sell on)
Still looking good.

So still no change on this one from last week -

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Tue Jul 28, 2026 9:37 am

Tromso want a higher sell on percentage and cardiff are standing their ground.
Other clubs have always been interested in this lad but seemingly we are the only club who have submitted an actual bid..
If it happens it happens.
If not, we move on... :ayatollah:

NB: Other interested parties was announced by Norwegian press so probably Tromso stoking the fire.

That all makes sense and is in line with what another poster said :thumbup:

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Tue Jul 28, 2026 10:20 am

I’ve heard that he was more keen on joining Rangers than us, only what I heard from a meeting the other night.

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Tue Jul 28, 2026 11:34 am

Can’t see him coming at this point

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Tue Jul 28, 2026 11:50 am

Dunno if anyone on here knows or is linked to Bluebird Corner on YouTube but they put a video out yesterday saying that the other teams being in for him is nonsense and offering less money and the hold up is if we pay more upfront or offer a larger sell on fee

Again, that seems to be the correct narrative currently, and it’s only the structure of the deal that remains to be sorted

Annis makes a valid point regarding his ‘preference’ to go to Rangers, but they haven’t met Tromso’s valuation and have since bought another player. They are now looking at a winger and a defender; one further a fee and one likely on loan (quoted by the Rangers manager)

I don’t read too much into the players (supposed) comment, as I’m sure most players would have a ‘preferred’ club in their minds; but I genuinely think he’d grow to love our city, our club (under BBM), and our supporters! :ayatollah:

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Tue Jul 28, 2026 12:24 pm

I'm hoping he has a similar impact to Aron Gunnarsson, and becomes BBM's modern, technically gifted, high level passing, six-foot-four central midfielder version.

Post on Insta from below.

The more I read about him, the better he sounds. Go get him, Tan.

Honestly, I don't understand how it's possible that Jens Hjertø-Dahl is being linked with clubs like Cardiff City and Rangers.

The Norwegian midfielder has been controlling games and scoring consistently for months. At just 20 years old, he's undoubtedly one of the best players in the league.

Back in January, he was close to joining Beşiktaş and was also linked with several mid-to-upper-table Serie A clubs. Now, after showing the very best of his ability, he's being linked with a newly promoted, fairly average Championship side and the third-biggest club in Scotland. I regularly follow Scottish football and, in my opinion, the league is currently weaker than the Norwegian one.

It has even been reported that Hjertø-Dahl has made Rangers his preferred destination. In my opinion, he should be aiming higher, because he has both the quality and the potential to play for a much stronger club.

There was a good reply on there -

The Championship is the toughest league in Europe to get out of. Have you actually looked at the clubs who play in it .. miles ahead of any Norwegian league, and Cardiff have Man City’s Pep's understudy as their manager, who only aims on developing young elite talent. You need to research a bit more before posting. West Ham, Bayern Munich, and Dortmund, to name a few, are all actively scouting and looking to make a move on a number of Cardiff’s elite young talent. There’s a conveyor belt of pure quality at Cardiff City at the moment; it’s the place to be for any young elite talented player. Perfect move for him.

The guy at Bluebird corner also posted last weekthat the fee was agreed, the player had agreed terms and the transfer would be finalised by Monday.

The point is that nobody has any idea what the position is except those at both clubs.

And that's how it should be really.

I’ve got nothing against the bluebirds corner bloke, seems like a genuine guy and he clearly enjoys posting content. But my general rule of thumb is to believe the exact opposite of anything he posts

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Tue Jul 28, 2026 2:45 pm

That seems fair, especially after the last couple years where leaks and stories seem to have dried right up and probably for the better so other teams can't get a sniff of anything we may or may not be after

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Wed Jul 29, 2026 2:00 pm

Essentially a meaningless article..

Headlines:

We’ve not met the counter offer demands - so no movement on Jens (yet)

Club hopeful over 3 additional players next week, but nothing imminent or before the weekend

Club has to balance the Jens bid against others, so likely no movement till we know about the other players

(That’s paraphrasing / is the essence of what’s said in the article)
