" SO HERE THEY ARE / NEIL WARNOCK AND HIS FOUR NEW SIGNINGS FIR CARDIFF CUTY WHO WILL ALL BE IN THE SQUAD FOR THIS FRIDAYS BIG DERBY GAME V BRISTOL CITY "



Are you impressed with Warnocks new signings?



Below are their new Cardiff City Squad Numbers :bluebird: :bluebird:


Junior Hoilett - 33


Cardiff City's new signing Junior Hoilett
Hoilett was number 23 for most of his time at Queens Park Rangers and was confirmed as the Bluebirds' official no.33 by the club this week. The shirt was briefly worn by former Celtic forward Tony Watt last season, during his short stint in South Wales.







Sol Bamba - 14

Bamba takes the shirt vacated by Federico Macheda, who left the Bluebirds by mutual consent in the summer. The Ivory Coast international seemingly prefers the no.3 which he wore at Leeds United. But that now belongs to Joe Bennett, who took the shirt off Middlesbrough-bound Fabio Da Silva.








Marouane Chamakh - 27


He was number 29 at Arsenal and Crystal Palace, but young defender Sami Ajayi stood in Chamakh's way at Cardiff City in turns of retaining the Moroccan's favourite number. With Brian Murphy no.28 and Ben Wilson 30, Chamakh took the next closest option. Hopefully a change in number will trigger a change in fortunes for the previously-misfiring ex Eagles' striker.





Kieran Richardson - 15


The versatile former England international has worn various numbers throughout his lengthy career. From Number 23 at Manchester United to number 18 at Aston Villa. But 15 appears to be Richardson's favourite -- he wore the same number at West Brom and Fulham. Question marks remain over where in Warnock's system Richardson will fit, but the 31-year-old at least retains a familiar squad number.

I think Richardson could be the best out of the lot he's always been a good steady premier league player

Pleased with all the signings and sensible move giving all but Bamba short contracts to prove themselves. Hopefully we can get out of the relegation fight first and then who knows push on this season or next.

For me that's why Warnock is up there with the best as a manager :ayatollah:

Impressed so far with his influence and ability to get these players on board. If he can get the best out of them and the test of the squad, we could build something this season and who knows where it could take us.

The four players mentioned are to be honest better than what we have.
If they all play to their full potential.
Richardson can do a job in a few positions. Better than Ralls.
Hoilett a very good winger,better than Noone.
Bamba a very good and strong CH who can also play DM, better than Manga.
Chamack better than all our strikers excluding Lambert.
Warnock knew what we needed and got them and not on silly contracts,not like previous managers.
They have come and signed out of respect for Neil Warnock, which bodes well for the January window.

Excited to see Richardson and hoilett

I think hoilett will make the biggest impact but in all fairness as well all 4 will definitely make players fight for a spot

I'm pleased with the signings bar one. My mate is a long standing Leeds Utd season ticket holder, his comments about Bamba are not for printing on a site which youngsters might read! Let's just say not to expect much, hopefully he's proved wrong.

Hopefully he turns out better than your mate described. I'm sure NW will get the best out of him, and at least it will put pressure on our other defenders who really haven't been up to the standards expected. :ayatollah:
