MAYBE THIS IS WHY HARDLY ANY MOVEMENT IN THE TRANSFER MARKET?
WITH NEIL HARRIS BEING TOLD THEIR IS NO MONEY FOR TRANSFERS & THE CITY BOARD DIVIDED ON HIM STAYING ON ETC
But if we wait this long in my opinion, its goodbye play-offs as the gap is getting wider by the week.
The three players who will feel like new signings set to play a big part for Cardiff City
The Bluebirds have had a slow start to the January transfer window, with no new signings so far, however there are positives from within the squad which could give fans encouragement
Thursday 14th January 2021
The stockpiled fixture schedule was always going to catch up with teams this season, but Cardiff appear to have felt the pinch more than most, due to the squad being made a lot smaller.
' LEE TOMLIN '
The Bluebirds decided to bite the bullet back in November, during the international break, and it was decided that Tomlin would undergo surgery in a bid to rid him of his chronic issue.
We are led to believe that Tomlin is recovering well with a view to him returning to the first-team fray by mid February.
If Tomlin, who turned 32 this week, can stay fit at the back end of the season and strike up a partnership with the likes of Wilson and Moore, never say never when it comes to reaching a play-off spot.
He has the ability to do that on his own, as we saw last term.
' JORDI OSEI-TUTU '
His hamstring injury has arguably been the biggest blow to the team so far this season as it has forced Leandro Bacuna into the right-back berth on a temporary basis and, in doing so, has weakened the midfield.
Cardiff's search for a permanent right-back this month highlights their lack of depth in that position in the City squad and places a greater emphasis on the importance of Osei-Tutu.
He was progressing well in his recovery from his hamstring injury, so much so that he was selected to play for the under-23s away at Charlton on Monday.
He was brought off after 39 minutes, though, which doesn't suggest all is well and pours doubt over his availability for this weekend's clash with Norwich City.
He will certainly feel like a brand new signing.
' ADEN FLINT '
This entry will, of course, divide opinion.
Flint's Cardiff City tenure started brightly, but around 12 months ago it all turned a little sour and supporters started to get on his back.
Flint will likely be fit in the middle of February and if no centre-back has been brought in by the club this month, he could be poised for a more prominent role in the final few months of the campaign.
