NIGERIAN WINGER MOVE TO CARDIFF CITY FALLS THROUGH

Wed Oct 27, 2021 9:11 pm

A Nigerian Winger Was Coming To The Bluebirds But Due To The Sacking Of Mick McCarthy The Move Have Fallen Through.

Solomon- Otabor is a free agent released by Birmingham City:


Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that the Birmingham City academy product was on the brink of joining Championship outfit Cardiff City this week but the deal has fallen through after the dismissal of Irish football tactician Mick McCarthy on Saturday.

The Bluebirds hierarchy took the decision to relieve McCarthy of his duties following a poor run of results that saw them lose eight consecutive matches and the final straw was the defeat at home to Middlesbrough.

Solomon-Otabor had been on trial at Cardiff City for the past two weeks and was told he was going to be signed on after impressing in training and a test game against Charlton Athletic in the Professional Development league.

McCarthy had opened talks about signing the Nigerian before his dismissal and Cardiff City now claim that they don't have the money to get the deal done.

The winger took only two minutes to open the scoring in the big win vs the Addicks U23s and provided an assist before subbing out at half-time.

And against Ipswich Town U23s on Tuesday, he bagged another assist and came close to scoring but his free-kick hit the woodwork.

Solomon-Otabor was named in Nigeria's matchday squad for a glamour friendly against Brazil in October 2019.

Sven, can you not let it go ? I stand by what I said, I agree with what Keith said in the main, but the last point he made was in my opinion wrong to say on national television, in his opinion it was right so fair enough.

However as usual, anyone that has a different opinion to yours is wrong ? Just let it go big man.

Don't bite, fella; I am only joking! :thumbright: :D

It was your opinion and the comment that it may have been better not said on national TV may well be a valid one; but the realistic chances of Keith actually putting job-seekers off applying are pretty slim at best

I thought about applying but once I knew Dai Hunt was in the frame... ;) :laughing6:

His first ploy would be to wrap that immense scarf around the whole team in the centre circle for the pre-match 'huddle' :laughing6:

He looked good for the U23s.... Very fast, strong and direct .. a area we desperately need players in.


If we can't afford a short term contract for a league 1 free transfer player.. then we are screwed


Saying the the source is never reliable and Morison will know he needs extra pace and flair so let's see

The most worrying thing about that post is saying Mick McCarthy and football tactician in the same post :ayatollah:
