Cardiff Target Lewis McGugan.

Thu May 02, 2013 7:38 pm

Nottingham Forest's Lewis McGugan is a summer transfer target for Premier League new boys, Cardiff City.

Malky Mackay, the Cardiff boss, is looking to build a squad for next season that will not just try and beat the drop, but also compete with the best teams in the league and try and finish in a respectable position. In order to do his, Mackay is already looking for signings that will bolster his Championship winning squad and today, Forest's Lewis McGugan has emerged as a potential target.

Cardiff can offer McGugan the chance to live his dream of playing in the Premier League next season, after playing his whole career outside the top flight with Forest. McGugan will be available on a free transfer at the end of the season and a few clubs aside from the Bluebirds are taking an interest in him, including Leeds United and Reading.

Yet, Cardiff are the only side who can offer the 24 year old Premier League football next season, with Forest set to miss out on a place in the play-offs if Bolton Wanderers defeat Blackpool at home on Saturday.

McGugan is Nottingham Forest's longest serving player currently at the club, but he may well move away from the City Ground in the coming months.

But is he better than the rest of our team? Not for me. We need to be adding quality to our team not someone who is worse than what we already have

I think he's a better quality player than Conway. Flair player that could change a game. My opinion that's all

Unfortunatly for Conway I can't see him staying with us next season and I'd rather replace him with someone who is good enough for the Prem which is dont think Mcgugan is

I would like us to sign young hungry players who will want to use us as a stepping stone like Kim. I would want us to go the route of Norwich and buy young Championship players who would be good enough for the prem.

Edit: And the odd bit of quality to be brought in.

No thanks, scores some quality goals but general play is poor.
Need way better

Agree with what you say. Raid the championship and perhaps hungry players from across Europe on the cheap. Lets hope malky already has some in mind. I like Mcgugan though, always impressed me. I can always remember that screamer he scored against us a few years back

Oh aye he's a good championship player but he's no quite there to make it in the prem and honestly I do feel the same about Whitts but I'm unsure of him.

You do get more time on the ball though in the premiership so maybe players like whittingham, Mcgugan etc could shine

If he was good enough he would already be in the Prem. There is a reason he is still with forest

Not good enough.

Re: Cardiff Target Lewis McGugan.

Would defnitely add quality to the team and add to what we have at the moment. Would be a decent signing as he offers an attacking threat with his shooting and crossing.
