‘ UPDATED CCFC BID ACCEPTED ‘

Updated: Saturday 15th May 2021





Mehmet Dalman was on Radio Wales this evening and said that Cardiff have had a bid accepted for a player. He did not provide any further details and said it was ongoing. He also said that the club are hoping to recruit a number of players. Joe Bennett had turned down the club’s initial new contract offer but Dalman said that due to Bennett’s injury the club owe a duty of care to him and talks are ongoing.

The new Vardy is it? Or a lower league bargain? Someone who is tearing up non league perhaps?

Dalman is painting a picture that we are building. If you say so, if you say so........

(Oh, by the way I hope he can play in every game, as we won't have any cover cos it's too expensive)

Amazed that we have offered money for a player tbf. Windass possibly

made offers on 4 players...1 accepted...

There is money available for players but MM is not going to tell everyman and his dog that there is, hence the line we have to sell before we can buy

Far too sensible a post Rog.

I do talk sense (Sometimes)

I understand that all clubs are facing financial difficulty at this time. And as much as we have our rivalries with many clubs no-one wants them to go under losing all their history.

However, and maybe I am wrong, but I do feel that Cardiff, more than most clubs (not all), can really maximise this transfer window. Looking at the teams in the championship I believe (and maybe this is my own prejudices talking), with all clubs struggling, we can perhaps leverage other non financial benefits that we offer:

1) A decent and well respected manager that many players feel can help their development - he is not the dinosaur people make him out to be and is a players manager
2) MM is a very safe pair of hands - during these challenging times many players may not want to join a club with an unproven manager or situations where they may be docked points or ownership challenges (Derby!)- there is a lot to be said for security
3) We all know how great Cardiff and the surrounding areas are and most players who sign for us are always delighted at living in Cardiff and the area
4) Training facilities and stadium we some of the best facilities in the league and everyone loves the vale
5) Hopefully the fans will be allowed back in and we are some of the best in the league

Maybe I am looking through blue tinted spectacles but these things are significant when the current financial situation has levelled things up.

Blue tinted glasses maybe , but absolutely every word is true . I agree 100% .

Good interview that and a lot of positives considering the situation at the moment but there are a couple of negatives too but all in all I think Cardiff city will be ok financially, Tan is a very shrewd man and I think he’ll deliver in all aspects without being stupid.
I think the future looks bright fit us compared to most championships clubs.

I agree Sam. Particularly with your last sentence. There’s a few championship clubs’ shoes I wouldn’t like to be in

I’d rather be Cardiff City (if I was a neutral) at this particular moment Andrew as I think we are better off than the majority of clubs in the championship

Cardiff City offer accepted for transfer target as four players identified

Bluebirds chairman Mehmet Dalman has spoken about the upcoming summer transfer window



By Jon Doel

Saturday 15th May 2021


Cardiff City have identified a number of transfer targets and have had an offer accepted for one, chairman Mehmet Dalman has confirmed.

And the Bluebirds chief has insisted the club want to keep star striker Kieffer Moore, although he did admit "everything is for sale" if the price is right.

"We have identified three or four targets. A couple of offers have gone out - I believe as of this afternoon one was accepted - but we'll see what happens," Dalman told Radio Wales Sport.

"It's no secret - we need to bring more quality into the team.

"Harry Wilson was a great acquisition for us last season. In fact I would say that the window last season was one of our best with the quality of people we were able to bring in, albeit on loan, and we need to fill those positions.

"We have lost at least two key players who were on loan.

"We need a striker to support Kieffer up top, who's done a brilliant job for us; we still need a wide left, something creative in the middle - these are the minimums that we will have to consider."

As for Wales striker Moore, who scored 23 goals for the Bluebirds this season, the club have received no interest so far, although that could change, Dalman admitted.

Money remains tight at the Bluebirds, who will continue to keep costs down, but there is scope for new additions and holding on to the likes of Moore unless a huge offer is received.

"We have no intention of losing our key striker whatsoever," Dalman said.

"There's nothing to consider here. There have been no offers, there's been no interest.

"When it happens, if it happens, these are things we'll consider. Everything's for sale - it's just a matter of price.

"If anything we'd love him to commit to us and have another go next season."

The Bluebirds have seen loan trio Wilson, Sheyi Ojo and Jordi Osei-Tutu return to their parent clubs, while the likes of Junior Hoilett have also left. Cardiff are expected to publish their full retained list in the coming days.

Dalman added: "You cannot legislate for the future. All we know is we need to be a lot more prudent, cut our costs down to a level where we are not a burden on the principal, which is Vincent (Tan), and yet keep the core of the team in place for us to be able to compete for at least play-offs for next season; and add players into the squad which are well thought out, as we did in the last window."

Hmmm interesting we will hear then with in a week or so.

Let’s hope they and the media don’t make up stupid high figures which are untrue like they have been fixing in the last 2 seasons.

I dont see what the club would hope to achieve by putting out inflated prices, other than fan appeasement? As it sends the wrong message to other clubs imho, that we are paying big sums, for untested players? Not saying the club hasnt done this, just dont see the real benefits in doing so.

Well between them and Glen Williams this happened on numerous occasions last season and I believe it was done to make out they had spent quite big to please fans.

The figures were so exaggerated it was beyond.

Annis, we both know certain media personnel are toeing the club line...

As I said in my post Annis,not saying they havent, just seems a bit daft to me. As clubs will think we will pay silly money for untested players.
As I said,it must be for fan appeasement, but makes them look silly when the real figure gets put out!!
What are the other occasions out of interest?

Why would Dalman say that we have had a bid accepted for a player and then not say who it is?
Good post African Bluebird.
The vibes for next season are not good.
I hope I am wrong.

Because he also said it is ongoing the players club have accepted a bid but the player still has to agree terms, also if he wants to come here.
Why would we alert other clubs that we have had a bid accepted, do you want other clubs who might think they like this player and now that a bid has been accepted gazump us

Which Chris is exactly how it should be !!

I just hope there's some nice early business. Get any new signings ready to kick off preseason and settled in to the squad early.
