A forum for all things Cardiff City

The outgoings at Cardiff City Stadium during January with no fewer than 12 players heading for the exit.
Two of Warnock's free signings from when he first joined the club - Marouane Chamakh and Kieran Richrdson - were both released. As was the under-performing Lex Immers, who was quickly snapped up by Belgian side Club Brugge.
Youngsters Tommy O'Sullivan and Eli Phipps were both sold on for an undisclosed fee to Colchester United, while Tom James left on a free to Yeovil Town.
Deadline day saw a trio of midfielders leave the club on loan deals, with Emyr Huws, Stuart O'Keefe and Matty Kennedy all finding new homes until the end of the season.
The forgotten man Adam Le Fondre secured a loan move back to Bolton Wanderers, while Semi Ajayi joined Rotherham until the end of the season.
And finally, fourth choice goalkeeper Ben Wilson was loaned to League One Rochdale.

Thats 12 players yet none of them have had a detrimental effect on the match day squad. Just goes to show how much was squandered. OGS gets a lot of justifiable blame however Slade too played a part. He made signings. with the exception of Peltier can any truly be classed as first teamers?? At a push Zohore but he has only come good under warnock. Revell, Doyle etc. He was signing squad fillers just to say he had signed players yet every week the same core of players played. at the level we are at, squad players should really be those displaced when better players come in unless we have an emergency. We had no plan for where the signings would fit and more often than not they would fit during training sessions and no where else. Well done Warnock for clearing out players that were never going to make it here. We need to be looking forward and planning based on identified weaknesses.

Likewise annis. Just voicing my frustration at how much has been frittered away over the last few years. A frustration that 12 can leave with zero impact on the first team. Beggars belief.
