Bluebirds in for former Arsenal/England star?

Thu Sep 01, 2022 5:36 pm

Reports on a number of media outlets (but I emphasise nothing from barnet blue yet ;) )

Cardiff City are ready to swoop for Southampton ace Theo Walcott.

But the Championship club are likely to face fierce competition for the former England international's signature.

If true and it came off, that would be exciting for (most) Bluebird supporters :ayatollah:

Now rhat it looks like we have a younger forward. Someone like Walcott could be an excellent addition for strength and experience. Still fancy having hugill back though.

A Southampton fan has just said he’s on his way to Cardiff.

If he’s fit & is interested in putting a shift in could be a quality loan signing

Could be this second striker we're getting?

He's got a lot of experience and can play on a number of positions. Also still has enough quality for the Championship.

If we end the day with him and Robinson, I'll be happy with that.

No they don't, all the media in the West Midlands are saying WBA aren't in for him.

A #DeadlineDay move for Theo Walcott away from #SaintsFC now looking unlikely. Has been subject of interest from #CardiffCity and #WBA

Personally I hope not.

Was never a starter we didn’t even enquire. Never considered

Sven you have your connections… I have been told he was touted about but Cardiff never responded or enquired further. It was sent to various clubs through players agent and endorsed by Southampton as they would pay a chunk of wages

Before I opened up this thread - I thought we were back in to buy Jay Bothroyd ;)

It wasn't a 'connection', it was widely reported in certain media outlets; hence the question mark in the thread title...

Bring honest and not knocking you, I don't think your "I was told it was never a starter" statement is anything different

Information comes to light, we put it out, it happens or it doesn't.

I'm sure we will both be behind the starting XI v Millwall this Saturday... :ayatollah:

Of course… it’s been a rocky start but 4 points in the next 2 games will keep us on course. Just be nice to pick up a win and possibly score more than 1 in a game before it turns into the ‘not scored in first half’ type jinx of last season
