Ladbrokes: Gomis would be mad to choose Cardiff over Swansea

35 minutes from the Gower to Cardiff

Did you invent a high speed mono rail between the two areas?

It took me around 40 mins to get from Cardiff to Swansea last time I was there and I don't drive particularly fast.

That is really good timing, how many legs does your horse have

All valid points, and i don't have to laud what the Swans have done to get where you are today. Everyone can see for themselves

I'm just safe in the knowledge that my club is in an extremely healthy state and will keep progressing the same as you. For all the heartbreak to many of the rebrand, behind all that we've never been so professional. The potential is vast

It certainly has the potential to be in a healthy state, but I don't think you can say it is now. Depending on what happens over the next year or two it could also just as likely be in a disaster ours state. There is unrest amongst the fans, debt hanging over the clubs head (until it's sorted), what I believe to be a very weak squad by premier league standards with a man at the helm that is very temperamental. Can anyone say with any certainty what he's going to do next?

This debt needs to be sorted, you need to stay up for a season or two, try and get some unity between the owners and the fans AND THEN I believe you can progress as a club. The trouble is, no matter how much cash you have, until you do the above its not easy to attract good players to the club.

At this moment in time I don't see why someone would choose Cardiff over Swansea, however if you do the above and we all of a sudden struggle then you will then become the more attractive club.

It takes a good 20 minutes to get from the Gower to the motorway as well he must have been on Denman

Do you think your fans image as trouble making tossers such as millwall is also a factor in players not touching you with a barge pole , wouldn't it be ironic if the image you lot love is the one that results in you getting hammered every week because you can't get any tidy players in

UK Family Club of the year 2 years in a row

Prospective players will be shown that and not a copy of Diary of the Real Soul Crew

As a hooligan who glorifies football violence perhaps you cannot see the bigger picture , but if any player does a little research he will realise fairly quckly that cardiff have more than their fair share of scumbags (no offence)
And the club won that prize for their initiatives in trying to weed out the vermin and fair play to them , but the reputation and the scum (again no offence) are still there and 2 awards ain't going to change that

Whoever writes for Ladbrokes must be a Jack. There's been a few articles like this from them having digs at Cardiff.

In fairness I don't think the hooligan reputation will affect players wanting to join them, it would affect the sponsorship side of the game more IMO. After all it hasn't done the likes of Roma or PSG too badly.

Our hooligan past isn't relevant anymore and I'm surprised that you could even make such a tenuous connection to he honest. I can't remember anyone turning Swansea down due to the amount of loyalist and racist bell end hooligans down your parts, or there weren't any reports of David Beckham having second thoughts of not signing for PSG due to them having one of the biggest hooligan firms in Europe. Most clubs have a chequered past. Whether you hate it or not, Cardiff City are here now and ready to compete

I don't know mind they aren't a big pull for a player anyway and surely they would have a look at the fans reputation almost immediately after making sure there is adequate shopping
and dimi I can't believe you have just used Roma and PSG in a comparison to cardiff

Yes but you're not PSG are you , and when you have little to offer a player footballing wise it may become a factor in him thinking nah don't fancy that

So a deciding factor for a player not to sign for us is because we played f**k at Chelsea in the cup and have lots of banning orders?

You're not really thinking this through are you

just chelsea , come on now fella you lot have thrived on your hooligan reputation for decades , i'm just pointing out it could be one of the reasons no one is signing that all , it's a perfectly valid question in my opinion

It's still June. This time last year we only had one new player in. Malky and his team are being their usual meticulous self.

there we are then tell your fellow fans there's no need to worry

Waddle, when it comes to hooligism players want to play in a safe stadium and England and Wales is that. I can't remember the last time a Cardiff fan ran onto the field and attacked a player. After all, we're family club of the year.

Broadly speaking 'Hooliganism' Has never come into a transfer, facism or racism may have been a deciding factor for some players in continental clubs. Jacks getting more desperate as d-day draws near.

They certainly are.

With 50% tax in England Swansea are going to have to go to 50k a week to land this guy. Cant see it myself they only pay Michu 30k a week after the season he had.

Why does it sound like that? Because a bookmaker writing an atricle thought so?

And who cares which owner you would prefer to play under? Whats that got to do with the price of bacon? You're not a footballer.

I gave a footballer as an example, and you used yourself

Still hanging on to the hope he will choose you then?

Fair enough.

There are loads of footballers who decide to earn less at a better club to rather than more at a worse and unstable one. Wayne bridge

No, I dont think he will sign for either of us.

Wayne Bridge WTF?!?!?!

He chose reading over QPR (who are strangely in London by the way... Is he mad? )

Reading is as much in London as the gower is in Swansea..reading is in Berkshire you barking mad berk.

Players tend not to live in the cities anyway.

They dont lock themselves in their house either.

If only such things were invented to get a person from one place to another quickly, like maybe some kind of petrol fuelled box with wheels on. Maybe a bit out there, but it's a suggestion.

Why live in the Gower and drive the hour or so to Cardiff City Centre? When they can live in the many affluent areas of Cardiff and drive into town within 10 minutes.

Because the Gower is nicer. Although I'm not sure what they would have to drive to Cardiff for? What do you think Gomis would want to do there that he can't do in the Swansea area?

Catch a flight?

You cannot 'catch a flight' from Cardiff! You can however get one from Rhoose which is 11 1/2 miles from Cardiff and 30 miles from Swansea. Not a great difference in the big scheme of things eh?

Just under two thirds further away. Not a great difference

At "Cardiff International Airport".

You keep clutching at your straws though..
