' UPDATED '

Russell Slade has landed the striker he’s been chasing after Cardiff City made a shock swoop for unknown French league frontman Idriss Saadi.

Slade beat the transfer deadline to seal a deal with Ligue 2 outfit Clermont for the 23-year-old former France youth international.

Nicknamed Le Taureau – The Bull – the physical goalscorer was seen as one to watch in the French lower levels before suffering knee ligament damage in January, only recently completing his comeback with Clermont.

But the Algerian qualified forward has been seemingly identified by the Bluebirds to boost their attacking options having been keen to add to their firepower all summer.

I hope we do this more often.

Low risk, with possibly high rewards.

Clermont Foot have announced it, it's done! Bar international clearance and work permit I assume?

Don't know anything about him, could turn out to be another Rudy Gestede in the long term.

Don't tell me he'll score a few goals, be sold for peanuts and then be a success at his new club and we won't have a sell on clause?

No work permit needed as he's French.

This is quite an underwhelming signing for me, we still only have Kenwyne as our main goalscorer, I will give this guy a chance of course but I think that we should have got someone who is a proven goalscorer, bit more known and will excite the fans more.

Bound to happen, no other way at Cardiff City

What's the point signing a player that may or may not bring fans back, say we brought in Campbell, he wouldn't bring in 3k fans alone, the fans we've missed. I don't know too much about this signing bar the starts but from the league we've bought him from it seems the money we've parted with won't be much and he might be a worthwile signing with not much risk

Welcome to Cardiff City, Idriss.

Shutup you absolute tool. He may turn out to be a top player for us. Knowone knew manga before he came to us, he's doing well enough. We're Cardiff city not Real Madrid

You'll give him a chance, but he's an underwhelming signing for you!

The loan window opens soon, so even if we don't sign anybody in this window, keeping hold of Marshall & Kenwynne Jones will be a good transfer window for me!

According to some all our signings are underwhelming but its not going to bad at moment is it? Let's wait other clubs buy French and do OK!

Just watched a video on YouTube of him. Looks to have an abundance of pace. Something that we been lacking.

How long before Anni's or Carl come on saying this is the player they were saying about 3 weeks ago?

All was one


All I said and Carl said was that the deal was virtually done on a new striker,which there was.
We never said we knew who it was? ? ?

I never said we should sign someone who will bring the fans back, I said we should look for a signing that fans can be happy and excited about, no offence to the guy but people aren't going to be overjoyed that he has joined because no one knows who he is.

I agree this is low risk and that is a good thing, I was just hoping that we would get someone in that we know for sure is good at finding the back of the net.

With a name like Idriss, he can only come to Wales! LOL

As usual, already some on here questioning the signing because you name isn't Messi, but welcome to the mad world of Cardiff City FC, Idriss Saadi

Have we just got ourselves the next Benzema welcome to the club Saadi.

I totally agree. Why haven't we signed Benzema! I'm booing next match 100%

Can't stop laughing mate, you summed it up in a nutshell. I have never heard of half the players the jacks sign and as Much as it pains me they got it right.

The supposedly most uninspiring and clueless singing Ccfc made was Mark Delaney, from Carmarthen for a few balls and a few grand. Enough said
