Striker Lee Gregory set to join Stoke exodus and team up with former boss Neil Harris at Cardiff

By Joe Bernstein for MailOnline


Cardiff City boss Neil Harris is interested in a reunion with Stoke City forward Lee Gregory after their success together at Millwall.


Gregory, 31, is one of a number of players who could move on from the Bet365 Stadium as manager Michael O'Neill looks to reshape his squad.

The striker helped Millwall reach the FA Cup quarter-finals under Harris last season.

Gregory is available for a small fee.

I would take him a good player

not a regular with Stoke.. and apart from the last 6 months played almost his entire league career for Harris at Millwall..
underwhelmed..

Hope we dont sign him and wouldn't bother me if we signed nobody this window. Let's get rid of a few and the rebuild for next season starts now.

Wouldn’t be a good signing.

He’s not better then what we’ve got so why bother.

brilliant ? they were in lge1 for most of it Wez.
id like to think we can do better, maybe we cant in which case why bother... btw he tried getting Madine in on loan last season ?

Not another for cardiffs retirment home, we just shipped out madine for free and replace with the same ffs so much for harris revolution, more dros.

Like said days ago best for city not to sign anyone then everyone can have something to moan about regarding signings that may come in? It seems only players people are happy with are the ones that city cannot afford !

Well looks like we've dropped interest in keiffa Moore! At this rate wont sign anyone

Its a sh.t signing though if it happens played 25 scored 4 danny ward scored that many as a sub this season.

Yes put him alongside all the other rumoured signings none are good enough for us but undoubtedly someone will think they are good enough for them.

Its a bit depressing this harris revolution so far, lets hope he has a big f.ck off hat, and pulls a sh.t load of rabbits out.

At 31 he's not exactly one for the future is he?

At that age and with his goal scoring record we should be looking to pay no more than about £100,000 for him.

You need to look at a few questions with a signing like this.

Is he better than what we have ?
Yes

What would he bring to the squad ?
Not a lot

Would he improve the first 11 ?
Debatable

Really don't know why we are looking at this guy it looks like we are in bargain basement already i though harris new what he was looking for, might i suggest a decent scout dib dib underwhelmed.

Depressing is a bit strong but could be in a worse position with NW or a different manager in? Dont forget new managers take teams down as well as up?

Sometimes I wonder whether we actually have any scouting system at all?

Do we have anyone scouting abroad and looking for young talent overseas?

If there are any scouts working for the club they don't seem to be doing a particularly good job at the moment.

Surely we aspire to more than being better than ward and Bogle, neither if whom start because they aren't good enough.

I would take Ryan Woods all day

Yes

What would he bring to the squad ?
Not a lot

Debatable

surely if its a yes to the first question it has to be yes to all 3 ?
btw your beginning to sound like harris /Roath ..asking and answering yourself .

Not at all

Is he a better player than what we have the answer in my opinion is yes , would the team be improved by having him in the first 11 then in would say no because of the style we play wouldnt suit him. It's quite simple really.

He wouldnt bring a lot to the squad because just like the others he is bog standard and not good enough to make a marked improvement on the squad as a whole

Who is harris/roath ?

I love your effort trying to cover up your self contradiction. But you have to accept that if a player is better than what we currently have he improves our starting 11. Whether the style of play suits him or not doesn’t matter.

That’s like saying Neymar wouldn’t improve our starting 11 because of our style of play. Obviously that’s taking it to the extreme but it’s exactly the same concept.

one is our manager who will say things like....does a Neil Harris team defend like that...then answer no they don't..{ although they just did }
Roath aka welsh casual..is all over the board under different guises and often these guises with have convos with each other..

Neymar is a silly example we are not talking about that standard of player.
Is keifer moore better than what we have ? I would say no but I think he would improve us results wise as he scores more goals than the others but hes probably not as good in other parts of the game like his link up play.

Lee gregory is better than our strikers as a player but he wouldnt improve us as he is not a proper goalscorer. We need a goalscorer not another striker that works hard. Our style of play would bypass him in the games like it does with Ward.
So yes he would improve the squad as hes another option and is probably a bit better than the others but at the same time he would bring very little extra to the starting 11

As I said in my comment Neymar is taking it to the extreme but it’s exactly the same concept. Moore scores more goals than others? Who exactly are you alluded to with that remark.

Also I don’t think you’ve see much of Lee Gregory if you don’t think would link up well and games will pass him by. He’s very good in the air for his size, but we don’t seem to be going as direct recently so our style would suit his play. He works well in a 4-4-2 and I think him and Bobby G could be a formidable partnership. But I personally can’t see us playing a 4-4-2 as we would struggle to fit in Tomlin.

For me personally I don’t care if our striker scores 0 goals for the rest of the season. If he contributes and puts in a good performance and we win that’s fine by me. Obviously we all want our strikers to score 20+, but as long as Cardiff win we’re all happy.

your overall assessment then a waste of time and money then, looking around in bargain basement would'nt it be refreshing for us to find a young kid from abroad.

Yeah I think he would be a waste of time and money. He definatly basement but not a bargain.
There has to be a younger hungrier youngster waiting for a chance somewhere, why go for a 31 year old player who struggles to get in a poor stoke team and has spent most of his career in the lower divisions. Why cant we look outside the box for once and take a gamble on a promising young striker? When was the last time we actually had one.

Hes a bang average championship striker nothing more just like the ones we already have in the squad.
And I assume Bobby G is Glatzel , hes the worst of the lot hes awful.

Hope we dont sign him and wouldn't bother me if we signed nobody this window. Let's get rid of a few and the rebuild for next season starts now.

Spot On .
