KEN CHOO SPEAKS OUT - ABOUT CITYS CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS

Sat Jan 16, 2016 5:34 pm

' CARDIFF CITY'S CEO KEN CHOO/SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF OWNER VINCENT TAN '

He was just interviewed after the game at Molyneux, just listened to it live, these are the keys points:

EMBARGO:
We do not have to sell players.
FFP current squad target is 24. We currently have 21 so 3 loanees are being targetted.

SELLING PLAYERS:

We will not be selling 'core' squad players or 'crown jewels'.

VT:
Still very much interested in City. He speaks with him and coaches nearly every day. Still wants to achieve promotion/play-offs.

TONY WATT:

Charlton have said they do not want Watt at City on a loan extension. We want it but they have said no to it. Watt has knee injury and has returned to Charlton. RS says still trying but KC said that they have said no.

RUSSELL SLADE:
Said he is going all out and trying his best.

So have we only used 21 players this season? Does this mean that players like Oshilaja and O'Sullivan etc won't play as they'll be classed as part of the squad?

I hope not. It's the rule for PL registration rules but what if we've only used 21 players and then we sign only say three loanees but it means that we restrict our younger players from making an appearance at all.

Oshilaha is nearly 23

More lies

I believe that to be considered as part of the 24 man squad a player must be over 21 and have played at least 6 first team games. That would mean neither Oshilaja or Saadi will count towards the 24 or Declan John because he is still only 20.

With Slades record on signing players,signing only loan players may be an advantage because if they don,t work out you can send them back to their clubs?
