seems very odd to me (if signed exclusively as a LB)

You find it odd that we’ve signed a second left back?

Because we’ve only got one?



yes. signing back up or cover in January, when we should be improving the weaker points in the side, while we also have plenty of cover for an inform player who never gets injured is weird. We need a striker, we need a winger. wouldnt mind another in the middle though he wont drop pack so thats unlikely. left back would be just above goalkeeper at the bottom of my list.

How do you know we aren’t trying to sign players in the other positions?

This one might have just been easier and quicker to complete.



i dont, and if so fair enough, but i dont want to hear the excuse of only being able to bring one or two in, and being left short in areas when we sign someone who isnt a priority.

And im not saying we dont need a LB by the way, just that with no money being spent and the potential to only bring in a couple. this doesnt improve us like a good signing up top would do.

Yeah but what if we can’t get a decent striker in for what we are willing to pay what should we do not sign a left back because we can’t sign a striker.

Your arguments dumb. We needed a left back one was available so we signed him. If there’s a striker we want an he’s available we will probably sign him.

The we’ve signed a left back instead of a striker argument is dumb. There wasn’t a you can have this guy or this guy option given to us.

This january we have signed a squad player

Hes decent but I cant see him playing more than a few games. Bennett will stay as number 1

Welcome Brad and good luck. Happy with this signing.
1 or 2 more would be even better :ayatollah:

I like Bennett, and this signing is really no competition for his place. Hope he enjoys reserve fixtures. I’m totally underwhelmed by the signing. If your not then your lying.

Bennett is average at best. Crap at going forward with confidence. Definitely a good idea to sign this guy. Can’t be any worse.

Re: OFFICIAL " CARDIFF CITY MAKE SIGNING "

Perhaps he's another utility striker like Patts

Most have only played a bit because of injury to others, that means squad players. They are not playing because they are the best player.

We would not have seen Nelson if Morrison was fit

Where are they all now ?
We hardly see Day, Whyte, Flint and Vaulks

Goal scorer regular may be a good idea.

Good signing, adding some depth to left back and being a former Liverpool and bournemouth player means he should be able to pass and move.

Makes me laugh stuff like this. Benett is by some distance the best lb we've had for a long time

I agree. The new lad may be better but I would have thought we had more pressing positions for new recruits.
