SLADE will find it very hard to attract players on!

Tue Jun 09, 2015 8:11 am

His list, unless we pay silly money again for me, also it is well known around british football the jury is very much still out on Slade here at Cardiff from Fans, that won't help. the talk of Cardiff debt around 150 Million in some reports won't help.

Hope I am wrong, but think in many cases we will lose out on our targets to teams in and around us, even though wage bill is down and we still have very good players at this club, and parachute payment advantage which many others don't have.

Even with our huge cut backs, we should be attracting the better players at this level, but with off the felid media reports, and Slades unknown name to many of the better players at this level, time will tell, but could be a painfull Transfer period of missed targets and rejections ahead :bluebird:

I know loads of people that want to play for Cardiff City but are they good enough. The players Slade wants may also not be good enough. :sladeout:

Don't you think he will put realistic players on his list? Ones he feels he can persuade to join us. No point being too optimistic.

There is more than giving their all on the pitch. If you have a team of sub standard players they are not going to get anywhere. I agree you need players who give 100% but you also need some quality otherwise you are not going to get anywhere and the football being dished up will not improve.

what really fu..s me off is all the moaning about our new signings not being good enough , and we havnt even signed anyone yet
imo Cardiff city as a club is very much a good club for players to join
our facilities are excellent ,working conditions excellent ,fans can be excellent when they wont to be ,wages paid are excellent , so why will it be hard to get players to come here .
more important for me is who is staying and who goes from last season ,
once that is known then I will give my opinion of who comes in and if good enough ,but I have full confidence in slade to do the business and make us more competitive than last season :sladein: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

I think Slade will bring in players with the right balance if he does sign players like Johnny Russell who has quality and work ethic. :thumbright:

Agree on many points, my point was it will be intresting to see if our self's and others around us go for the same players, with wages on a par, how many if any we will lose out on, :bluescarf:

I'll give my all on the pitch for City but he won't be giving me a game just for that reason. At least I hope not.

Too many of our supporters are willing to put up with mediocre players.

I for one don't want a repeat of last season's utter rubbish.

Good enough for what?

Mid table like last season?

Avoiding relegation?

Steve, all the things you have stated like facilities being excellent, fans etc etc are true so you ask yourself the question, why will it be hard to get players to come here. While you are thinking about that I'll answer it, it's because they don't want to work under a manager that has no f..ing clue, it's logical really when you think about it.

Nothing to do with Slade. The offer of lower wages could make it harder for Slade though same as any other manager in his position.
