A forum for all things Cardiff City

Marley Watkins has signed a short term contract with Cardiff City.
The contract runs until the end of August and he will make his First Team competitive debut in Tuesday's game at home to Sutton United in the Carabao Cup First Round.
Marley Watkins signs for Cardiff City.
Watkins released by Bristol City last season.
Watkins played 2 matches for Bristol City last season and 11 matches the season before and 16 matches the season before that.
Well, what a way to announce his signing.
Marley Watkins has signed for the Bluebirds until the end of August. He has to get to work quickly, then, if he is to earn another deal.
Lets hope he can make his opportunity count tonight...

Seems a waste of money tbh if only until end of August, could have used a youngster instead, I get he could earn another deal but surely he must have seen enough in training by now if he's good enough or not

I thought we had younger players now brought through and all suppose to be the best seen for years so why waste money ??
Jonny Williams comes to mind .

Agree seems a pointless signing. This is a player who was not good enough to play for Bristol City over three seasons why on earth bother to sign him. Surely we should be giving the youngsters a chance.

I think the same. Signing can't be true. I'm just having a bad dream.

Seems Tan and Dalman were right about being serious in wanting us to succeed and get back to the prem. I take back everything I’ve ever said against them.

Vassell number 2

You say a lot of things, so something eventually had to be right...
Certainly did the business though and a good debut goal...

Well done, Monty

Has he been bought in for cover for when Vassell gets injured (probably sometime during the warm up against Blackpool)

Should have had Watkins down for one?
Tue Aug 10, 2021 7:15 pm
My oh my oh my.
We’ve become a shit supported club running a player down who’s only signed a short term contract to cover injuries.
Personally I wouldn’t want to sign for such a shit supported club and hope they struggle throughout the year.
Don’t go on about Derby not much difference between us.

Nah Annis I don’t blame you it’s all about money and hits on the site for you........
I’m aware some of the youngsters are carrying knocks hence his short term signing.
You cause a storm and the closed circle reply but hey ho I thought we supported the Club and not just when it suits.

I think you have misunderstood, Vassell has been steeling a living from us for the last couple of years - just like he did at Brum.
My sarcastic was simply to demonstrate the highly likely outcome - that Vassell will play for 1.5 games and then go down injured for the season. Marley will cover the remaining period of August while Vassell sits on his sicknote
Tue Aug 10, 2021 7:53 pm
Shit that Watkins.
Tue Aug 10, 2021 8:12 pm
Bizarre. The last time Marley Watkins scored two goals in a season not a match was the 2016/17 season. Not complaining but that is seriously weird. Was actually quite a decent player for Barnsley for a couple of seasons but it was a long while ago and he has done nothing since.

The Lad done well tonight
Wed Aug 11, 2021 12:00 am
Superstar in the asking, he'll be top scorer by the end of August .

It strikes me odd that we sign him now only on a month long deal as we have had plenty of time to evaluate him. Whether he is just cover or we need to see departures to fit him in our budget I don't know.

There’s an article knocking around with quotes from Mick. Can only play trialists in two friendlies and one of those MW was carrying a knock. So he’s done this as an extension of his trial if you like.
It’s nothing like Williams as I saw mentioned as they have given him one month.
He’s off to a good start to be fair.
