Gabriel Osho is being strongly linked with a permanent transfer to Cardiff City.

He joined Auxerre last summer and made 19 league appearances.

Just about peak age for a centre half, I think that is a good position for a bit more experience, sounds promising.

The bugger scored against us in 2022 lol - thought I remembered the name!

Another point that's important is Osho is a Wasserman player.

Obviously we've liaised with Wasserman in the past and BBM has worked with Osho.

So there are connections there.

Sounds like a very good player to me...hope we get him...

Wow, by strongly linked do you mean you saw a post on the other board that someone had received a message asking about a link, just 8 minutes before your post. Or i'll take my cap in hand if you can say where that 'strong link' is.......

I saw him play in a TV game for Luton in the prem - he had a good game from memory though I can't remember who it was against.

From French sources on Twitter actually. Unlikely that Auxerre people would pluck our name from nowhere to make stuff up.

I don't look at the other message boards. It's hard enough keeping up with stuff on here.

Now this is more like it. A player with years of experience at a higher level. It would be a coup if we could get him from Auxerre, especially as he's been playing games for them.

I'll take your word, but I cant find anything. I'm genuinely interested in how rumours start on here, and I know its a messageboard to discuss rumours, but some are off the scale, Gary Otto was a done deal, he even met ministers, Cardiff Council and had agreed to turn the red seats blue and change the badge back, 60k expansion its sometimes like chinese whispers.

This will be a very good signing if he gets here.

He scored against us when Luton went up to the Premier. He should be able to cope with League One comfortable.

vous ne voyez pas de club du sud du Pays de Galles mentionné ici ?

In the comments we are mentioned

Cant remember too much about him but hopefully as people have said he has bit of experience in lge 1 France so maybe a Bruno manga

Salech weren't too bad.

Not the tallest of centre backs but this would be quite the capture if he's played in the prem and the French league.

I'm picturing a Cipre style of defender.

The only worry I would have he was loaned out to Yeovil

It was going great until I saw that

This will be a very good signing if he gets here.

He scored against us when Luton went up to the Premier. He should be able to cope with League One comfortable.

And fits in with the quality type signing we’ve been waiting forever it seems.
