January budget/signings

How much money do you think is gonna be available for transfers come January? And how many players and where would you like strengthening?

Ideally I would like a winger and an attacking midfielder number 10 type player signed but I think we will get just a winger on loan, zaha would be a good signing imo

7-10mil will be the budget I reckon.

We certainly need a winger or two!

we need a winger, maybe 2!

Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan has warned there are unlikely to be any big money names to bolster Malky Mackay's ranks in the January transfer window. City have startedr the season encouragingly and look a side certainly able to compete in the Premiership. However, avoiding relegation remains the sole priority and one which will be an excellent achivement if we can manage it.

Tan has backed Mackay handsomely in the transfer market, and few could have hoped that the financial clout to sign Caulker, Medel and Cornelius for such high fees, along with the likes of Odemwingie and Theophile-Catherine who, although relatively inexpensive, already look to be very good signings.

Tan has confirmed that such spending will not continue in January, but we may yet be in the market for a player or two if the right ones come along within budget and we need to strengthen. The need to add players is key, rather than just for the sake of adding to the sqquad and Tan has stated that results will define what business we do.

Speaking to the National News Agency of Malaysia, Tan said:

'If our team's performance is good until January, then there is no need for me to buy new players. We also can't afford to buy star players since we have financial constraints compared with other EPL clubs.'

CCFC is still in a precarious position in financial terms, with massive liabilites and debts against the club. However, the resolution of the Langston debacle, coupled with Tan's ambition to convert his loans to equity would give an entirely different look to the fiscal summaries.

There is a lot to be said for a well balanced and settled squad, and it's very difficult for players to come in during January and integrate into a new environment quickly especially with the burden of a big money valuation. If City can sonsolidate the current position and continue to show the form and character on display so far, January is likely to pass without much notice from fans. However, if we are caught up in a relegation scrap, the reaction may be somewhat different.

One good attacking player we could get on the cheap is Michail Antonio. This kid is class for sheffield wednesday but hasn't shown himself on a big stage yet but hes only 23 and i think he can do it
