Re: January budget/signings

Postby TopCat CCFC ยป Wed Nov 06, 2013 1:06 am
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.

So according to the article you posted, Tan is saying he is happy with our performance so far and is "rewarding" Malky by saying he doesn't think our squad needs to be improved any further?
