Bjorn Sigurdarson

Whatever the reasons behind us losing out on this player I think we should consider that Wolves are going to receive £18m in Premier League parachute payments and that gives them the opportunity to sweeten any deal above and beyond where we can.

The player has said he wants to play for the manager so prehaps we shouldn't look further than that. Shackell and Burnley is again an interesting one Derby don't want to sell but may be forced to and again we should remember Burnley are going to receive £8m in PL parachute payments plus £6m for the sale of Rodriguez.

I'mnot really worried about things at the moment because there is not any mass activity in the transfer market at the moment although I think we are about to enter a period of increased activity.

Whatever the final outcome I believe our club will break it's transfer record during this transfer window.

When burnley were relegated the parachute payments were still only for two years so they don't have any money coming this year.

TBH would you want to live in South Wales, i do and my ambition in life would to get out of this shithole

They are nit being asked to live in Merthyr ffs

Cardiff is far nicer than the West Midlands

the move comes with a des res semi in Gelli Deg and a penthouse appartment in uptown gurnos

Perhaps being my next door neighbour squashed the deal then.

Gelli Deg or the metropolis of Gurnos

I think its the way these players has seen for themselves the way we are treated unfairly by match officials (which are what 95% of the time english) and we a welsh club, playing english opposition! plus the way we tuant the english im sure it gets thier backs up, (even our own english born players) maybe thats why we get so many scots playing for us!!

Do people have any idea on anything??

You dont always get your targets, not even Man Utd!

When negotiating would you go in with the exact money the selling club wants?? I assume you conducted this tactic when buying you current home did you? Im sure you didnt try and get the price down.

Jay Rodriguez wasnt one of our "main targets" MM said he just went for him to see what happened even though he never thought we would get him.

Some of you are saying "offer him more money" Im assuming you didnt complain when the accounts got released and saw how much debt we are in. Easy to spend other peoples money. So you want VT to plough loads of money in but he's not allowed a say on the club he's providing for?

Sordell didnt come as he joined a prem team, not our fault.

Noone didnt come because the brighton chairman flew home and scrapped the deal personally, again not our fault. Vardy wanted to be close to his daughter........

What more can we do, we are not Real Madrid!!

My worry is that last season,every player that signed (apart from Joe Mason) stated that the main factor for joining was to do with Malky Mackay. Kadeem was a bit different as he stated that Malky likes to give youngsters a chance in first team football,all the others were linked to MM in one way or another. So it'll be interesting to see how we sell ourselves in the next month or so.

Yeah a nice apartment down the Bay, like I said in an earlier post I only want players who WANT to play for Cardiff City... f**k him

When burnley were relegated the parachute payments were still only for two years so they don't have any money coming this year.

Burnley, Hull and Portsmouth were all members of the Premier League when clubs voted on this proposal and as such are all entitled to benefit. In fact the 4 years of parachute payments were used as part of the CVA proposals Portsmouth put forward to exit administration.

Bjorn Sigurdarson is from Iceland , Ståle Solbakken is from norway,so maybe he would rather play for a scandinavian manager..

What a load of utter Bollox you just posted , Cardiff V Birmingham there's no comparison

Wolves are in a better position than us to capture his signature. People need to chill out as it's early days yet, don't panic as Malky will get the players he feels that will take us up.

I think the real reason is alluded to in Carl's posting. We simply weren't prepared to pay the greedy agent more than Wolves were and I personally applaud our club for that

Have you ever been to Wolverhampton!? - - When you are talking about 'shitholes' wolverhampton is the capital

He doesn't have to live in Wolverhampton though, many of the players situated at clubs in the Midlands live in Cheshire.

Sorry Carl but yet again Malky and the inept idiots on the board fail to "Sell" Cardiff City to a top target.

Say what you like about Jones abd the Riddler they knew how to sell Citys vision.

I have no faith in the likes of Whitley and Borley whatsoever. Out of their depth.

Harsh words indeed

He doesn't have to live in Wolverhampton though, many of the players situated at clubs in the Midlands live in Cheshire.

Similarly if he had signed for us he could have moved to somewhere like the Wye valley or down your neck of the woods if he didnt want to live in Cardiff itself.

We are talking about a young kid moving to a foreign country and you have two options.

1.- Move to a yo-yo club whose manager speaks the same language as you and you are 30 mins away from a busy international airport.
2.- Go to a championship club who if you read the forums is close to civil war over the owner who is going to sign you and a manager who may get poached if things are going well and you live 15 mins to a piss poor regional airport.

Patience could be a blessing in disguise Still plenty of decent players out there

Keogh
Bellamy
Dixon
Fulller
Chambers
Mcgugan
Cox
Lovenkrands
Bothroyd
Snodgrass
Lawrence

Just to name a few.

true but look at the rural areas around that area our nearest rural area is Brecon, and Baker comes from up there

Don't forget the Vale Basil - I do love it down 'ere

you got Barry in the mix there

How much serious business really gets done in the latter part of June, when most people associated with football in Western europe are on holiday? The transfer window doesn't open until 1st July!

Don't you think this happens to other teams?

Malky didn't really bring in a bad player last year, although some did better than others.

Let's trust him.

I'm all for banter and discussion, but some of the negativity on here recently is getting ridiculous.

You say Carl that Malky is working very hard in trying to bring in new faces for the forth coming season,is he aware that most fans if not all on here want him to work hard in bringing in the right type of player,personally i have had my fill of signing workhorses and what i would term safety first signings(Lawrence for example) we the fans need to see some quality signings made, and signings to address the lack of pace on the flanks and the real need to sign at least 2 genuine goalscorers ...............i don't know how much contact you have with Malky, Carl, but he must be made aware that the fans are in no mood for excuses why we did not sign this player or that player,they need to see real evidence of ambition to get City to the Premiership, and they need to see it sooner than later

its only bloody june people!!

you have no faith/good word in anything regarding city!! just dont see point of always critisising city on here? sure you are not swans fan in disguise????

Im a realist who shoots from the lip and tells it like it is Alun not a happy clappy spastic such as your inbred self.

I would question his sanity if he wanted to live in my neck of the woods

You played that violin for EIGHT months last season craig after august what did we get a f*cking loan and some kid nobody seen after he signed for are 150k promotion push in jan, I didnt even know we had a bid excepted let alone matched anywhere near wolves wages another bluff to keep the fans on side

I understand Cardiff City matched the offer of Wolves for Bjorn Sigurdarson, we also matched the wages too, the player chose Wolves.

It is alleged that the agent played a big part in making the move to Molinuex materialise and that the agent was very happy with his part of the deal.

Our manager is working hard to bring the right type of player into the club, I have faith we will see the fruition of the hard work and patience.

he doesnt like red
