@ngriffiths73 he has so many possibles/probable a on the go impossible to tell. New signings are on way though

@bluebirdsgossip Malky working in many different avenues. Nobody in over next few days, but things are moving

Can't see new signing coming in this week for Cardiff City. Malky Mackay on case big time and he will strengthen. Won't be rushed into error

Exactly, he's out on the training camp but not sure why he couldn't just use his recruitment staff to bring the players in. Sort of frustrating considering our pre-season fixtures are approaching next week and it'd have been good to have them together for the training camp and then play them in fixtures

100% Agree. The next excuse if we are not playing at all well will be "the new players we got in didn't get a full pre season". We've known our status since April,just a little surprised by our lack of activity in the transfer department to be honest.

very hard to get prem players in who are not coming to the end of their careers.any player on the up in a prem team isn,t going to sign for a team that may be in a relegation battle.top in champ and older prem players will be the ones to arrive.maybe the odd lad who is young who is frozen out at a prem team.of course the foreign market is available but not every club get,s a michu.i,d have faith in malky if i was ccfc.hardly wasted a penny up to date.the panic on here is incredible.you could always do what sunderland did under keane.buy a load of players just to get bodies in then have to give em away cos they aren,t good enough and no one will give you good money for them.have faith in your boss

Exactly mate. Keep the faith in malky.
I love the fact that he is not panic buying and getting faces in for the sake of it, it's good that he has got patience and is waiting and working hard to sign the RIGHT players and get in the QUALITY we need

a manager who spends the clubs money like it is coming from his own pocket is worth his weight in gold.only 2 months ago he was the messiah and cunning in the market place.now he,s crap and lazy :lol: .you couldn,t make it up could you?when mcjudas took blues up he brought roger johnson and scott dann,two chamo c/b,s .first season they were awesome.barry furg,lee bowyer and loaned joe hart.we finished 9th.defo think scott parker worth a look at for you lads

Yeh I was gutted we didn't sign victor wanyama but Parker could turn out to be a better player for a whatever team he signs for
