' The Race is on to Sign Tony watt '

Cardiff City want Tony Watt deal done 'sooner rather than later' as Slade admits there have been enquiries over players

Cardiff City boss Russell Slade has admitted the race is on to pin on-loan striker Tony Watt down to a permanent deal in the Welsh capital.

The 22-year-old marksman has proved hot property since joining the Bluebirds in November, but his current loan deal from Charlton will end on Saturday after Slade’s men take on Wolves in the Championship.

Watt has two goals in eight games for Cardiff, but has brought a fresh impetus to the Bluebirds’ attack as they look to keep alive their hopes of a Championship play-off place.

A deal with Charlton to sign Watt for a fee in the region of £1m is believed to already be in place, but Slade, who saw his side crash out of the FA Cup at the hands of League One Shrewsbury on Sunday , admitted the deal needed to be done as soon as possible.

If we miss out on this deal, then this is a major statement from the club as to the clubs exasperations going forward.

It will show fans the stategy for short to medium term is to asset strip and not reinvest

Darren, to be fair on Slade he wants Watt, its over to Tan.
Slade has got rid of player after player for Tan, so its time he backed him on this player.

I sincerely believe if the club fails to secure Watts services there will be a might backlash.

Ian, a massive backlash

Not blaming Slade on this one it is Tan and by not signing Watt, will show Tan's commitment going forward

Just like i thought.. Plenty of bumps..

I dread to think what the atmosphere will be like against Rotherham at home if this deal falls through

No it doesn't. Asset stripping and not buying players are two totally different things.

I thought this deal was already agreed?. That's what was reported a few weeks back.

I sincerely believe if the club fails to secure Watts services there will be a might backlash.

Definitely a huge backlash.

Could even have a riot on Thier hands

Could even have a riot on Thier hands

We should sing something about that. Might make them sign him

Someone mention asset stripping... After yesterday not that many to strip!

I hope Slade gets this one right, Watt will be his best signing ,if does sign for us,

Agree.

fans are preparing to leave in their droves, and not signing watt could be a catalyst for many to stop going.

its pretty desperate stuff, and watt must be signed its as simple as that. our strike force if we don't secure him would be mason, revell and macheda, which simply isn't good enough.

Agree with this swamp.
I think we probably will end up signing him even though I'm not sure Slade will be allowed any money for transfers - and rightly so.
If we don't, I reckon attendances will plummet even further.

I think people are looking for excuses for whatever reason.
