Really dont see sordell improving our team to be honest , next year he would be at least 4th choice in the prem .This year i would have mason, bellamy and smith ahead of him anyway ,plus the returning maynard at some point will drop him down the pecking order . Most overated player in the league imo . Theres a reason he in the reserves at bolton and its not because hes a great player scoring goals for fun .We were not good enough for him in the summer so f**k him now hes just coming for the glory if he signs now !
Cameron jerome is a proven championship and premiership striker and would be around the same price as sordell no brainer imo

id choose sordell over a player who once chose that cardiff city isn't big enough for him.

Sordell was arguably the hottest young striker in our league 12 months ago. He has averaged one goal in two in the championship. Personally I think he's en exciting signing but it's all about opinions.

Honestly I think he's an exciting prospect, that will only get better. Decent signing I say.

I agree, he hasn't settled at Bolton.

You don't lose your quality only your confidence, which is something Malky can sort out no problem.

Look what Benitez done for Torres?????? He started banging goals in for him...
Maybe sordell will do that for Malky... Give the lad a chance,,, Malky knows his stuff, :ayatollah:

Did sordell not do that when he chose bolton at the last minute in the summer ?

Not really, another bid came in that Watford accepted. He was ready and happy to come to us.

I really don't rate Sordell and would prefer Malky looking for another stricker, or maybe just a defender. But if he does come i would love for him to prove me wrong.

Watford excepted our bid aswell , he had a choice between a team just down from the premiership and a team rebuilding for a promotion push . He chose the bigger wages and supposedly bigger club he thought would have more of a chance of going up . Now he realises he made a mistake and would be willing to come to us now !
If we were too small for him in the summer we are too small for him now we are top and bolton are struggling .
Cameron Jerome scored a shitload of goals for us and was offered a move to the premier league with a big transfer fee which the club at the time couldnt turn down, just like Ramsey , Gunter , Johnson and Loovens and i bet most people would have them back in a heartbeat .

I think he'd be a really good signing.

Re: Cardiff in for Sordell

Sat Jan 05, 2013 12:39 pm

I hope you are all right guys. I would love to be proved wrong on this one.

Re: Cardiff in for Sordell

Sat Jan 05, 2013 12:39 pm

Sordell will prove people wrong and be a good signing I think. But, as back up!!! Never want to see jerome back here. I think we are in need of defensive cover and maybe centre mid, as whitts injury and mutch not up to it yet.

Didn't he move to Bolton when they were in the Premier?

I was going to point that out! Yeah he did, don't think they were bottom either so still had a good chance of staying in the prem which is a good reason to choose them over us I reckon.

Sorry mate but don't agree with that, Bolton were at the time in the premier league and we were looking ready to falter about the time he was going to coem to us. He never said we were a small club, just chose a premier team instead.

So many different opinions on this guy Some say overated others say quality player . Some people think its too much money others think hes a bargain at 3 mill .
Guess we will see soon enough for ourselves how good he is , i think thers better options for 3mill out there than him though tbh

Honestly I don't think he's worth 3 mil but as Malky says, January window means you always have to pay a premium. After what he's seen of Sordell at Watford he obviously thinks he's worth it, and I support him on that :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Bolton outbid us last year so they refused him talks with us when he wad onbhis way donwn hee

Re: Cardiff in for Sordell

Sat Jan 05, 2013 2:47 pm

Some people are really thick, I don't know how many times they have been told this, perhaps if we put it in bigger letters

Watford accepted a bid off Bolton and us, Bolton then increased their offer and allowed Sordell to speak to Bolton, and as we did not match Boltons bid we did not get permission to speak to the lad, he had no choice in the matter

The people who are slagging the lad off need to get their facts right or perhaps learn to read :thumbup:
