Typical Warnock player. I would love to have him playing for us.. Do you think we could afford him ?

Me too. Not sure what he would cost but if Stoke got back the £ 13 million they paid for him perhaps they'd deal. Much over that and he's probably out of reach.

I would take him

We could probably get him for around 10 million. Him and Ralls in the middle is decent at any level.

I would love to see him here but if the Jacks stay up I would think he would more likely go there. Also a lot of other Premier clubs would be in for him as I think he was a bit under the radar when he went to Stoke. Since then I think a lot of people can see what a good player he is.

It’s a literal no-brainer


Said a while ago that we should sign him and I’ll be very disappointed if we aren’t at least in for him

Totally agree, has a good engine up and down the pitch & can score goals. Would be a no brainier if the price is right particularly with his Premier League and international experience.

Him and Ralls alongside someone a bit more physical, makes sense.

I’d quite like colback too


But Allan is a must

Swansea fan isn't he? unlikely to say the least. just can't see it happening although stranger things have happened

Andy Legh changed everything for a true Swansea boy playing for the bluebirds....andy legg the legend means Joe Allen should be possible...

If Jack's stay up I would assume he would sign for them over us though

I thought Andy Legg grew up a Cardiff fan. Not sure why I think that though. These are footballers before fans in almost all cases. If he felt, all things considered, that his prospects were better at Cardiff than Swansea that's where he'd go. Cant see either getting him actually but I'd like to see us give it a go.
