What other signings do Cardiff need?

Wed Jun 27, 2018 10:56 am

Assuming we get Reid and smithies

I would say a centre mid possibly 2, a striker, a right back maybe even 2 strikers?

We are sorted for wingers, would you bring in a prem experienced cb?

i want a right back but have a feeling Warnock is happy

AT LEAST 2 midfielders, we have nothing in there really. i'd look for 3 if gunnar doesnt stay.

if we are signing Reid i cant see another striker coming in

If people are saying 3 CMS is that Ralls alongside 2 others with Demour, Paterson and Tomlin (doubt he will stay) as back up. Doesn't seem enough unless im forgetting someone.

Depends where Reid will play with regards to getting a new striker. But we defo need 1 or maybe 2 central midfielders and a right back.

Where will NW use Reid, presumably midfield but may be just behind Zohore.

Before Reied would definitely say a top striker, two midfielders (1 creative & 1 defensive someone like Diame of Newcastle if Gunner/Grujic are not about) & possibly a right back. Sam Byram on loan?

1st Choice Right Back

1st Choice Defensive Midfielder

Back up Centre Midfielder

Squad would look well covered:

GK _ Etheridge, Smithies and Murphy

RB _ New Signing, Peltier

CB _ Morrison, Bamba, Manga

LB _ Bennett, Cunningham

DCM _ New Signing, new signing

Cm _ Ralls, Damlour

ACM _ Reid, Patterson

RW _ Hoilett, NML

LW _ Murphy, Ward or Harris

CF _ Zohore, Madine

A lot of players still to move out though!

I'd go - Grujic Loan with money being spent on a big holding mid.
I think we need a right back but like Paul I think Warnock is happy with the current defenders.
I'd however go for Danny simpson if available.

Grujic would be the obvious choice, one option as a capable backup would be Tom huddlestone. NW always likes an old head in there somwhere

With the imminent signings of Smithies and Reid and hopefully Gunners signing, I would be more than happy with a first choice RB a strong DMF, (IMO Gunners won't last a full season)and a CF who can hold the ball up, and bring the likes of Hoilett,Murphy and Reid into play.
Two out of these could be loan signings,maybe with Premiership experience.

RB :- Elmohadamy, offer Villa peanuts to get him off their wage bill.(Buy)

DMF :- McTominay, do the Mancs a favour by giving him lots of Premier league experience ( loan)

CF :- Carroll, take a punt on him lasting longer than 10 minutes without getting injured ( loan )

None of these are going to come true, just a bit of fun.
