Welcome back,

Tony Watt

Cardiff City have been placed under a transfer embargo for breach of financial fair play rules, so Tony Watt will be returning to The Valley:

This will affect the budgetary calculations made by Roland, so it may have some knock on effects. Richard Cawley of the SLP has tweeted that it may mean raising funds with a different sale.

Tony Watt will play his last game for Cardiff tomorrow and then return to Jose Riga’s Charlton. The sale of Watt was worth £2m, which may have just financed the deals for Roger Johnson, Rhys Williams and Diego Poyet, and possibly allowed Jose Riga to enter the transfer market, or the majority of the money would have been placed in the credit column of Duchatelet’s football project account. However any plan to cash in Watt have been scuppered by Cardiff’s transfer embargo.

So what now for Watt?

He left suddenly with liar Meire saying he was injured. However the Scotsman went straight into Russell Slade’s side and has played in every league game since, scoring twice and weighing in with a couple of assists making his move popular with Cardiff fans and his transfer from us sadly a formality. But now he is back.

Cardiff, who have already loaned out Kenwyne Jones, could appeal and get the embargo lifted and Watt could still go, or now Meire will attempt to flog him to someone else. Or there has to be the possibility that he may stay under Riga.

Watt made it very clear that he was no fan of Fraeye, and there was a lot of talk that Watt was a bad influence in the dressing room, but that wasn’t obvious from his own comments and other players on social media. Stephen Henderson said at the time: “He’s a good lad and has got loads of ability. I’ve heard a few rumours but it is all BS. He has not signed permanently and I hope he goes there, gets his confidence up and comes back a new player.”

We could certainly do with a fired up and on form Tony Watt in our dressing room.

There is never a dull moment is there?

Can't we do a swap for him or a loan until end of season with purchase then linked in?

The embargo will be in place for the rest of the January transfer window and will see them lose out on a permanent deal for £1m target Tony Watt, although the Charlton striker’s loan deal could be extended after Cardiff’s visit to Wolves on Saturday.

this really is terrible news, and the last thing slade needs having been deprived of kenwyne jones.

Cardiff City's dwindling play-off hopes have suffered a huge blow after the club was hit with a transfer embargo for breaching Financial Fair Play rules.
The club are considering an appeal against the Football League sanction, arguing that their accounts for the 2014-15 season fall in line with requirements.
The transfer ban, which applies only to this January window, has already scuppered what appeared a done deal to sign striker Tony Watt permanently from Charlton, though they could now attempt to extend his loan.
