" Well we're willing to "

Tue Jul 09, 2013 12:38 pm

Well Cardiff City are willing to pay good wages,pay high transfer fees and have gone after a lot of players, not just media talk. Now Malky has to talk them in to signing up to a newly promoted club,I do believe that this is Malky"s hardest task, but I still also believe Malky will spend the £25 mill he has been given. I also still believe players will arrive this week, maybe not the original ones Malky wanted but like I say it must be hard to persuade them to join us?

Players are prob looking for more established Premier Clubs.
But I have confidence in Malky :thumbup: :thumbup:

Is this your way of saying Ince may not be joining? (In your opinion)

Could not agree more...

Always going to be a very tough window. Fans were talking about midtable finishes and above the jacks. Madness.

So long out of the top flight, so many failures and not setting the league alight (with flare) last season was going to make this tough.

But there is still time. Malky needs to be a bit tougher though. Letting Ince act like he's bigger than the club looks foolish on our part.

Not the original players? I can only assume that we couldn't persuade Tom Ince to join?

Malky wants him as we all know and I believe we will get him as long as a bigger club at the last moment don't come in for him, which I believe that's what Ince has been holding out for and that's why talks have been slower than normal deals.

If he wants a bigger club than us, then I don't think he'd be the right player for us.

We have lost out on quite a few and I reckon it will all come out once the season has started, It's hard out there for Malky.
Yes there has been a lot of guess work by people on here,the media,fans but that's because there has been interest by Malky but he has been finding it hard, not his fault at all.

What player wouldn't want to be at a bigger club?

I wouldn't want a player that doesn't have the ambition to do better

Hopefully we improve as a club so players don't use us as a stepping stone as we will be challenging for positions further up the table oursleves.

Agree. Walk away now and show him and others that we are bigger than any of them.
If he was as good, as he thinks he is, then there would be a long list of offers.

Malky has also already stated that he is finding it hard to persuade players to join us, was in the echo a fortnight ago, and then link was pasted on here.

Re: " Well we're willing to "

Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:17 pm

Forever blue is spot on but malkys got a few players lined up no doubt.weve also got the financial backing to pay top dollar.these are good times to be a city fan. :ayatollah:

Unfortunately in this league were the newbies and trying to get players to join a team who will be one of the favourites to go down is always going to be difficult.

Perhaps we should lower our sites a little and go for continental players Who are better than what we got but not on everyone else's radar

Damn me for realising that we've got one signing in with five weeks to go till our first competitive match where we clearly need a few reinforcements, damn me for worrying that we can't attract good players despite suppodesdly being an ambitious club with a nice ground and plans for a new training ground, damn me for thinking we had a good recruitment set-up that could seal deals. Damn

feel sorry for malky and im getting a bit worried that we will not be able to get the top quality that we need hope we casn get a top class midfielder and a few defenders ,dont think we are that bad in attack as long as the new boy the tank delivers,think maynard and campbell with be good with him :ayatollah:

Have stated in the past that we may need to look to the championship.

Re: " Well we're willing to "

Tue Jul 09, 2013 3:10 pm

I must say at the start of this transfer window period, I was breath taken to see the names we were being linked to. I have reluctantly accepted the fact that was just transfer rumours and that we will definitely approach the Norwich first PL season approach, buying young British talent with a hard nitty gritty attitude.

The claimed to be 'ITK' reported we'd sign players early this week, tomorrow will be the half way stage of the week yet no players in? We can't secure targets and are continuously being left behind

We DONT KNOW whats happening. the cornelius signing has proved that it all guesswork and people
jumping on the slightest rumour. Triffic. all we need now is the lazy arse media to jump on "lots of
players are turning Cardiff down".. that will help.

I challenge anyone to show a acual quote where ONE player has said "Cardiff spoke to me and i said no"

whos side are we on here?

His agent said it. Not ONE word from our Club. No offence but id sooner go with what my Club is trying to do
(which is keep stuff quiet) than AGREE with the ''alleged'' facts from some agent. Put into context, do we hear
Malky Mackay saying "we received dvds and stuff about Wan Wik Youtube Armani, but decided he was shite".. no
we don't!!... its all a game. Thank f**k we have a manager with dignity. what a shame ''lets get a update out''
seems to mean more to the fans on message boards

No that was a quote from the player. He said his agent said we were interested and he rejected the chance.

Not that I'm worried. Probably happens a dozen times a season it's just we hear about it now we're in the prem.

Why so angry :? I'm only giving an example of a player who turned down Cardiff. Whether there was genuine interest or not he still decided against following up the alleged interest.

As for Cardiff commenting on it, when has Malky ever commented on a deal before he's confident it's going to happen or the media have asked him a direct question.

Either way I was agreeing with what you were saying in principle. No need to let the sun get to you.
