' Neil Warnock Still Needs to offload Players ASAP '

CARDIFF CITY DEPARTURES?


The need for Warnock to offload players is pressing, with Cardiff currently carrying round a bloated squad of 29 senior players.





Declan John

Declan John has been peripheral for Cardiff City under Neil Warnock

The young Welshman is way down the pecking order at full-back, with Jazz Richards and Joe Bennett the main options for Warnock on the left side of defence. He'll surely seek pastures new before the 11pm deadline on Thursday, having never forced his way into Warnock's first team plans.




Anthony Pilkington

The versatile forward is perhaps an option Cardiff could afford to keep, but he may prove an attractive last-minute purchase for a club seeking more firepower. He's fallen down the pecking order in both his preferred positions (out wide and up front) and Bluebirds fans wouldn't shed too many tears if Pilkington's three-year tenure came to an end this week.





Craig Noone

The out-of-favour winger was linked with a loan move to Burton Albion , but Nigel Clough has since acquired Joe Mason and Sean Scannell on loan to provide forward options. Noone was stripped by Cardiff of the No.11 shirt, however, and has played no part this season, his last appearance coming in the pre-season friendly at Taff's Well on July 14. We will surely see some movement on this one before Thursday is out.





Stuart O'Keefe

The one that might not happen, with Warnock keen to avoid a repeat of the January deadline day earlier this year when he allowed O'Keefe, Emyr Huws and Matty Kennedy to depart on loan — even though it left Cardiff a little threadbare. O'Keefe has been linked with Portsmouth though, and could move to a League One club if the deal is right.





Frederic Gounongbe

The Benin international is still on the Bluebirds' books, despite being excluded from the pre-season tour of Devon and Cornwall and missing all first team action so far this term. He will surely leave South Wales sooner rather than later.

Think Declan will have to drop to Div 2 or conference to get a team/ game and we will have to pay most of the wages. I can see the others being wanted but again only if we pay most of the wages .

Declan will be fine in division one, as will O'Keefe. Noone and Pilks will have to look for loans at lower Championship clubs, if they can afford wages. Fred will have to go to one of Tan's other clubs on loan.

Hopefully Pilkington will toddle off and we will get his massive 25k a week wages off our books. Lazy, Arrogant player. Hopefully a championship club will sign him on his reputation and we can sell him for 500k - 1m.

Noone I expect to leave as he seems to be a player who cares more about playing than picking up his wages (Pilkington) and see him going either permanently or on loan to a mid table to bottom half champ team for 500k - 750k.

John will hopefully go on loan or permanently to a league 1 team, as he needs to leave for the good of his career. Has a promising career but for whatever reason it hasn't worked out at Cardiff, so maybe playing week in week out in league 1 will improve him.

O'keefe who knows? Hopefully Portsmouth take him for 300k - 500k. would be a really good League 1 player for any team in that division, and I'm surprised no one has taken a chance on him from League 1. Maybe we can trade O'Keefe for Max Power?

Gounongbe is easy, either send him on loan to Tan's club Kortjik for a season with the hope he scores 15+ goals and do what we did with Saadi and sell him for 1m next summer, or release him.
