Tan says Cardiff to sign 12 Mitcu's

Cardiff City Wants to Sign '12 Michus' Following Promotion

April 19, 2013 1:14 PM GMT
Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan claims the club are planning to sign around 12 players like Swansea City forward Michu this summer, ahead of their first season in the Premier League in over 50 years.

The Bluebirds sealed promoted to the English top flight on Tuesday and the club's Malaysian chief revealed the club are looking to use their transfer budget as wisely and economically as their Welsh rivals Swansea, who earned Premier League status two years ago.



The Swans had signed Michu from Spanish side Rayo Vallecano last summer for £2m and the 27-year-old has 21 goals from 38 appearances in all competitions, in what has been a dream debut season in England.

"We'd like to follow the Swansea model by signing players like Michu for £2m. We could go and buy 12 of them. If you get a dozen Michus, you wouldn't do too badly," Tan said.

Sir Alex Ferguson had recently praised the impact of Michu in the Premier League and hailed the Spaniard as one of the best bargain signings in recent times.

Meanwhile, Cardiff, who are set to shell out £25m this summer, has been linked with a move for former Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou.

Personally think we will be very unbalanced if this were to happen, are we even sure one Michu is Malky type player?

He is living on cloud cuckoo land, well we already know that, if he thinks we can land one player of that quality for 2m let alone 12!!!!

Up until now it has appeared he hasnt stuck his nose into team affairs, lets hope he doesnt start now we are in the Premiership as he clearly knows f*ck all about football.

Personally I dont want 12 new signings thats too many to get to gel ...imo 5/6 all challenging for the first team will be plenty for our first season in the premier ..then maybe 1/2 in january if needed

He said they were going to spend their money wisely and hope to bring in quality players for low cost the way Swansea have. The part about buying 12 Michu's was clearly a joke. He wants to find good bargains, nothing wrong with that.

You will get what Malky wants no more no less, so don't get your brain's in over drive, rumours and paper talk, are exactly what they are, in Malky we trust.

I think Mr Tan is in for a nasty shock and a big reality check if he thinks its that easy to find bargain players of quality, I hope Malky sets him straight for you

More likely to steal the pegs from the line.

"this premier leagues as easy as kicking f*ck out of a jack ball boy, all we need to do is buy 12 michu's which is easy, and everythings sorted. easy peasy."

riiight im glad you understand now

Tan is clearly deluded as bargains like Michu rarely come up at all.Tan is only going to give Malky 25 million to spend and that would not buy Gareth Bales left leg. 25 Million would most probably buy 3 good premier players or 4 average ones and I would think that we need more than this if we are going to stay up.

The Jacks only spent £10m when they were promoted.

Tan has a sense of humour and you lot cant see it and have to keep knocking him!

Their squad and playing style was far better equipped for Premier League than we are. They just needed to tinker certain positions. We need a full overhaul.

I would disagree. There are several players in the current squad who are capable of performing in the Premier League. Suggesting a "full overhaul" is needed sounds like the views of a pessimistic fan who thinks the worst about his team at any given opportunity.

No we dont.

We are better than a lot of the teams in the bottom half.

How many Michu's can you list? Players bought for less than £3m who have immediately had an impact on the premiership.

I am struggling to think of anyone apart from Michu.

Tan is clearly crazy if he thinks he can find 12 of these players.

For anyone else struggling this article suggests some of the best bargains in the premiership, not many recent ones though.

Well if we were to sign 12 2 million pound gambles and they turn out to be as good as michu I would be a happy man!!

Don't forget the red trenchcoat either.

We have probably 5 players at best capable of making any real impact in the Prem which would leave us needing a substantial overhaul. I doubt Tans 25 million will strech very far when buying Prem quality players.

I'd rather let Malky buy the players than cloning Michu!

I would say they are good enough to be in the squad (please note that I said squad and not necessarily starting xl).

Another little tan joke going straight over the miserable fuckers on this boards head.

I'm loving the jack bastards thinking there chocolate as well. You've been in the premier league two years an you think you know more about it then every c**t in the world.

Oh God....I hope this isnt the start of another embarrassing chairman.
The likes of Michu appearing for £2 million is about as rare as seeing a Jack with teeth.
He really is bonkers.

Really hope we make a serious offer for the young lad Jonny Willliams from Palarse.
Rather 3 or 4 quality players than a dozen budget finds. We already have quality and determination within the side. What we need is something 'special'. Michu in fairness is both. Not many of those about.
