Mark Hudson is trying to get rid of players to bring in

The Transfer Embargo is staying with Cardiff City until they pay for Emiliano Sala:



Cardiff currently have 22 players of "professional standing" in their squad, according to the EFL criteria, and are able to "staff up" to 23 players. So at present, they can bring in one player, either as a free agent or on loan.

But we know Cardiff are trying to get players out of the door this month to try to free-up room on their playing staff, allowing them to bring in players on loan as long as the opposition pays all the wages.


The Bluebirds need goals to stave off relegation, that is the bottom line here, and not being able to bring in a striker and/or creative midfield player would be a total disaster.

There is an over-reliance on Callum Robinson, a very good operator at this level, who has played a lot of his football out on the wing for his previous clubs. Should anything happen to him, as we saw against Coventry City, Cardiff's forward line looks alarmingly devoid of quality.

He needs help. So, too, does the midfield. Joe Ralls and Andy Rinomhota are more industrious, battling midfielders, and while Ryan Wintle has been excellent for City in 2022, he operates in a deeper-lying position and tries to dictate play from there.

Rubin Colwill is a big talent but his moments of real quality have been few and far between, as is normal for a player at the beginning of his career, while Romaine Sawyers has been a major disappointment, it must be said.

Cardiff need someone else in there to help create more clear-cut chances for the forward. Someone to split open defences, rather than shifting the ball constantly out to the wing, only to cross it in to small strikers who are battling with giant defenders. Not bringing in more creativity would be a major booboo.

No embargo lift, no striker and no creative player would be the worst-case scenario this month. A scenario which could shorten the odds on City slipping out of the division.

Where is it stated that the opposition have to pay the wages ? I've read the rules as we have to pay 100% of the incoming players wages not that the players club have too .it is to stop the embargo club taking advantage of only paying a percentage of the incoming players wages .

I've read the article wrong it's that our outgoing players there wages must be paid for in full and we can't give away a percentage of it just to get rid. Apologies.

Colwill over rated ship him out on loan, Whyte out, Simpson Out, Campbell out, feck Nkounkou off back to his parent club, Harris out, Watters Out, Nelson out.....who replaces them, I have no idea

Whose going to take our players on loan if they have to pay the full salary ?

Hudson should be gone already we shouldn't be letting him get rid of players or bring players in. Anything but a win against Wigan and he should be gone, if he's still here by then.

We need to do everything we can to bring in a target man. Someone big and awkward that takes up 2 defenders to create space for Robinson.
A leftback who can defend would allow us to push odowda forward into his best position. Collins has been a huge loss this season.

Bring Mcguinnes back.

Despite our league position I don't think this squad is miles away from being comfortably a midtable team.

Colwill overrated ship him out? Are you crazy?
I do agree with the rest of your post though
