' So what do you think Ole should do ? '

Steven Caulker is on his way,virtually gone, as QPR look like they will bow to his demands.

Gary Medel will eventually follow as he has proved he is a World Class player and who could blame him.

Would you try and replace either of them or both of them?

Or are you happy with how the squad will look once theyve gone?

And if Jordon Mutch goes, how would you feel then?

Our squad is more than big enough Annis, we have over 30 first team players even if those two and Frazier Campbell leave, I don't personally believe we need any more players, maybe just one more defender if Connolly leaves. :bluescarf:

I would be more than happy with: Marshall; Brayford, Hudson, Cala, Fabio; Dikgacoi, Whittingham; Noone, Mutch, Daehli; Guerra

even a 2nd team of: Lewis; McNaughton, Connolly/new CB, Turner, John; Burgstaller, Gunnarsson, Eikrem, Kim; Le Fondre, Macheda.

I would also love to see Joe Mason given a chance myself, but I don't think that will happen sadly. :ayatollah:

Besic looks unlikely so I would say bring in Michael Keane on loan at this moment in time as I can't think of many I would personally want.

I'm one of a few who wants Eikrem to be given a chance, we may need a CM if both Medel and Mutch leave, don't know who really, let Ole decide.

They have to be replaced but we have to be realistic. We can't afford to go spending recklessy like last summer and are not in a position to attract the same standard of playersl but we're missing the link man from defence to midfield for a start and in a championship season as we know from the years coming up short a strong large squad could make the difference. If the budget is to get trimmed would rather a midfielder than a central half and utilise nugent and Connelly instead.

i think he has already addressed the gap left by Medel by signing Kagisho Dikgaco.He is obviously working on signing a defender as stated in interviews. As for Mutch if he leaves it will be a shame but we have a lot of talented attacking midfielders so I am not too worried about it.
If he is gonna get another midfielder i wouldn't get an attacking midfielder like Mutch. Ideally i would get a more complete, box to box midfielder or another holding midfielder to compete with Dikgaco ( not convinced with Gunnar).

i feel we need a centre back, but that would be it for me, although i would quite like Eagles here too.

what we need to do now is start getting rid of people

The main thing is Marshall for me. No talk of him being lured so let's hope it stays like that.

There may well be a need for a defender to cover but otherwise, this is a very strong and talented bunch.

If Mutch is gonna stay here, get a contract written up ASAP.

the other two will want to go..........so let them and go all out to keep Mutch......i think he will be very important for us this year.

Agree with that. :thumbup:

I think Ole should do what he feels is right for the benefit of Cardiff City. I have no doubt he will have known what players like Medel,Caulker,Campbell and Mutch were going to do. I would suggest Ole's main priority was hanging on to Marshall all the others are replaceable but you don't get many world class goalkeepers up for grabs too often. :ayatollah:
