Joe Ledley and Frazer Campbell both a No for Cardiff C and always were.

Massive shame, not bothered about Campbell because we have many strikers who can do the job for us.

I just felt we needed another centre midfielder especially because it was a Cardiff boy, Joe Ledley. Would've loved to see him as a Bluebird again. Aw well, we have a solid team at the moment and made a positive start. :thumbright:

Ah well, wishful thinking. Anything about Gayle? I know he's available but haven't heard much about him going anywhere.

They have a lot of players to lose, would be nice to have some more premiership level players if we've gotta bring someone in.

Why not for gods sake. (Assuming they are going out on loan) Will put bums on seats and give a boost in morale experience and quality to the squad. Football clubs should be more transparent with us fans, and be upfront with the budgets, so we can be realistic with our exoectations and also means we can be a fairer judge of our managers reign

I'm happy with what we've got to be honest. Keeping Marsh plus KJ, adding Saadi and Manga on his way back. Happy days. :bluebird:

Would have welcomed Campbell back, but glad it's No Go Joe! :thumbup:

If we signed Ledley what would that mean for ralls!? He needs to play in the centre but being kept out by whitts and dickachoi at the moment anyway. Signing another CM would further prevent ralls's development in the middle. I think ralls will do as good a job as Ledley anyway so we don't need him

Ralls is a good player but Ledley is much better than Ralls

Agreed, although Ledley is not an amazing player, being Welsh would certainly bring back more fans for that reason alone :thumbright:

I think most fans with a realistic mind knew Ledley was never coming here in a million years. We've been linked with nearly every player recently, including a lot of big names, but who have we signed so far. People need to realise that Tan is not going to spend big money, we are trying to reduce debts and overheads and work to a tight budget. We are not exactly the most fashionable club in the world, and even when somebody becomes available persuading them to come to S Wales is easier said than done, unless you are able to offer premier league football like Swansea.

It doesn't take much imagination to conclude the clubs budget when you factor in we have only 10000 season ticket holders and a net debt of £65.1m.

Ledley bring back more fans?? :shock:

Have you been watching how fickle some of our abandoning so-called fans have been, the excuses they have given for legging it and the broken promises to return if certain things happen? :?

If the return to blue didn't 'do it' for them, somehow I don't think the arrival of the prodigal son, Joe Ledley, would persuade many to return, TBH! :lol:

Palace have agreed for him to talk to a club near his home, on SSN :?

Bristol City??????

Re: ' Joe Ledley/Plus '

Tue Sep 01, 2015 4:28 pm

If Ledley hasn't moved by 6.00pm then surely that makes it more likely he would come here ?

He then has to find a club outside the Premiership. I understand he doesn't want to move further away from "home" so we have to have a 1 in 23 chance surely :lol:

Campbell is is a money chaser no surprise.
I'd rather ledley stay in the premier league if it means he's played and is ready for euros
