You Couldn’t Make it Up!

Thu Aug 08, 2019 7:21 pm

Typical Cardiff City - 2 players sent out on loan with a combined value of approx 13m.

The sad thing is we have no decent cover for Joe Bennett & secondly and more importantly we have LOANED OUT one of our best players to a main promotion rival!

If Reid didn’t want to be here so be it but surely he should have been told that he would be with us until the January window which would give us time to find a suitable replacement. Cardiff should also have insisted on a sale rather than a loan. As a result Fulham must be laughing at the luck that they have had. They are now a much stronger team whilst we become a much weaker team. I honestly can’t see us get anywhere near Fulham this season & for me whereas I had us down for auto promotion the top 6 now looks very unlikely. Fulham, Leeds & West Brom look the strongest on paper & you could throw in Derby, Forest, Sheffield Weds, Blackburn, Bristol.

If reid was our best player we were definatly in the shit
Fulham were rated way above us last season and look how that ended
Lucky for us football is not played on paper
Just a few points proving a few of your points have no substance or fact to them

And our best player (reid in your oppinion) missed a sitter from 6 yards out to put us 2 nil up at wigan
In fact he totally missed the target

Don’t think we have to worry about promotion rivals this season.

Please look at your obvious assumption, my words read “ONE of our best players” there is no statement saying that Reid is the best player. Secondly it’s embarrassing the quality that Fulham have brought in comparison to us. Let’s just see how the season plays out but I would rather be in Fulham’s shoes when it comes to promotion than ours!

hahah that made me laugh, 5 in 25... shit ?, he played as our number 10. Bamba had 4, last season, does that make him shit ?
patterson finished our promotion season in the championship with 9/10 goals, does that mean he's shit ?.
