Should Cardiff be targeting Ryan Woods?

Swansea City are interested in Brentford midfield metronome Ryan Woods, according to reports.

Sky Sports among others are reporting that the Swans want Woods to boost their midfield options this summer.

But should Cardiff be looking to scupper their rivals on this one? Lots of Bluebirds fans have been impressed with Woods in recent years and a move would make a lot of sense.

Absolutely.

Would be great for us I think.

Definitely! A wonderful player who would probably develop even better under Warnock

Definitely, a great player who can tackle and pass and links play between the back 4 and midfield perfectly. Love him to be a Cardiff City player :bluescarf: :bluebird: :thumbup:

100 percent... Very good player worth the 6m to prise him away

a good player but some are moaning we are only signing championship players

Him and Grujic would strength us.

Great player. I wonder whether his height has put Warnock off though...he loves tall players in defensive positions

I’d rather take a punt of decent championship talent that spend £15m on the likes of deeney (if the rumour is true).
We certainly need more in the CM position than we have.

Disappointed with our lack of signings to date, I’m not even sure we are as strong as the gypos are and they have more to come in and of course are playing in the league below. For one season anyway.

Agree mate very frustrating, we are going into the season low on ammo.

A good shout plenty of talent shown.
All the talk about getting grujic back,it,s seem to be stalling for whatever reason,how about a punt on Ross Barkley on loan from chelski seemed out of favour last season?

No chance.

He's really excellent at what he does but definitely NOT the type of player that would suit us.

Very much a ball player, Warnock looks for physicality and energy (hence why he phased Whittingham out), and our midfield has definitely improved since Warnock came in.

He's a better player than Whittingham and offers more. Also he's somewhat more mobile and can adapt quickly to defensive and offensive play. He offers more than Gunnar son and I think Warnock could take to him.

Is he PL quality though?
Nobody going in for him apart from championship clubs it seems.

When we played Shrewsbury in a pre season friendly three seasons ago he was the best player on the pitch by a margin and I thought we should have signed him then. No chance of course with Russell Slade as manager and Brentford got in ahead of us. Not Warnocks type of player though too many sideways and backward passes but he is quality.
