This has been done to death.

10 goals last year for Cullen in the championship.

Colwill has had 5 good games in league one.

If you can't see that rubin has way more footballing ability than Cullen ever will then I really don't know what to say,

Cullen is a very limited footballer who does OK but does not have that bit of xfactor that rubin does

Again just my opinion but I'm 99.9% sure who will go on to play at a higher level


I hope you are right. But it’s about the now and not about the future.

Cullen has performed way more consistently than Ruben has at a higher level.

Agree with this. Rubin has started great but Cullen has performed at a higher level. Rubin will be a much better player than Cullen for sure. Just needs to have a consistent season.

Do you really wonder or were you just being polite? Of course it would be the other way round, nothing wrong with that though, this is a Cardiff City site after all.

Wasn't having a go at you or anyone and there was no sarcasm in my post, just a genuine question.

Of course you are but I simply cant see what you are basing that on.

There’s nothing to suggest that. Colwill has a high ceiling for sure but he’s been nowhere near as consistent as Cullen and Cullen also has a very high ceiling.

Wonder who else we think Colwill is better than?

Be saying Rudoni next.

For me Cullen is an average championship midfielder apart from his header in the build up to the goal you wouldn't of even realised he was on the pitch, he does what he needs to do without standing out

Rubin on the other hand has stood head and shoulders above every player on the pitch in pretty much every game this season, opposition fans have raved about how good he is, yes I know it's league 1 and we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one but special players stand out amongst the rest and so far this season rubin has stood out amongst all others

Transfer market rates Cullen higher value than Colwill,
