Players not wanting to come to Cardiff, well I suppose it's a matter of taste, I wouldn't want to sign for any club in London - fecking heaving with people and traffic all the time, wouldn't sign for anyone in the Manchester area - full of guns and drugs, Liverpool area - nope the robbing gits, and as for Midlands - well less said............
So that leaves the north, too grim, the south - too old and finally west wales mmmm??
So it's south wales or our sheep shagging inbreds in Anglia?

ps before anyone mentions Scotland - parks football I can get down here and abroad - too many foreigners!

It's now about wanting to live here, it's about Cardiff City and selling the story and ambitions. If you ask any of the supporters who came here when the Mill Stad was used they rave about the city and its available atractions for match days. It's the club that has to sell their sole to players in order to get them to sign, it's a really difficult problem for any promoted club, and more so for a club that has not been in the premiership before.
Yes we have been turned down, some names have already been mentioned, others will come out later no doubt - I bet they've been working 18 hour days to get players in and will keep that up until we get a big enough squad.
It's just a long, patient waiting game where you need a dozen plans.

Hopefully Malky will pull a couple of interesting under the radar signing out of the bag, failing that I can see a busy deadline day.
