They'll have to wait like the rest of us. That's what happens apparently.

This one just has the feels of us being used to start a bidding war

Honestly none of us knew who this guy was 2 weeks ago and yes he looks a good player but the hype surrounding the whole transfer saga has built him up as the next Messi

I just want us to set a deadline and if they want to keep pissing us about , draw a line under it and move on to the next target

Agree.

I have my doubts that he even wants to join us.

One hundred percent. Deadline needs to be set give him until Friday and move on

The way I look at it is if he was that special, much bigger clubs would be in for him offering eye-watering amounts of money. The offer we have apparently made whilst big by our standards is barely enough to feed Erling Haaland for a month.

I don’t think he will sign! It’s to hung out I’m sure he is hanging on for something he thinks is better. If he doesn’t want to join us , so be it and move on. We should have learnt by now not to put all our eggs in one basket. Like the Bale fiasco

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Move on look elsewhere

Maybe the club are holding out for a bigger initial payment. I’d heard that Monday was the D day but who knows. :?:

We're been used. Move on.

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Sun Jul 26, 2026 2:53 pm

I honestly think if he wanted to be here the deal would be done by now

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Sun Jul 26, 2026 3:21 pm

Really hope we've got somebody else lined up who can sign in the next few days.

One of the problems if this doesn't go through is that other clubs know how much we're willing to pay for one player so they may well increase the selling price for any other player we might be looking at.

That's a really good point.

We’ve got no chance of signing this player. Even if we do it’s a massive gamble for big money. Move on and buy a an experienced championship midfielder instead. Season starts in a few weeks and no signings.

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Sun Jul 26, 2026 4:07 pm

Give him until Monday Yes or No if no answer MOVE ON ,no player is BIGGER THAN THE CLUB we need players who want to play for CARDIFF CITY END OF!!!

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

It was blatantly obvious from the directors comments, that this was a bidding war. Whoever stumps up the most gets the player, regardless of whether the lad wants to go or not.

Move on now.

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Sun Jul 26, 2026 5:20 pm

Yep move on go for Ballard or make an offer for Kellyman

It's all part of the negotiation game; none of us really knows if any other clubs are actually interested or if it's just agent talk.

It's likely just a bit of leverage to get us to bump up our offer. The selling club's dream scenario is a bidding war with two or more buyers, or at least creating the illusion that one exists.

We need to play them at their own game: show interest, but let it leak that we're actively pursuing another target. Tell them if they don't accept our valuation quickly, we'll walk away and sign the alternative instead.

That’s exactly as I see it mate.

Personally I'd give up on this transfer if it ever was going to happen was last week move on next!!!

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Looks more like agent false stories to up the offer

I think it is going to happen personally, this looks like a play to milk more money from us. Not sure why everyone is so adamant on deadlines and take it or leave it. Just that's the max we are offering, we are now in for other players if you want that deal you know where we are

Re: “ Two New Clubs are now after Tromse player “

Sun Jul 26, 2026 7:55 pm

Personally I would look elsewhere, if he doesn't want to come leave it there, we want players that wants to come and fight not to look elsewhere for self gain, we've had plenty of players like that over the years.

To tell the truth I would not believe anything I read in the papers although I dont read them. :lol: It is not over till the proverbial lady sings :laughing6:

Rog, the 2 clubs mentioned have always been keeping an eye on things. Nothing changed really. Hate putting things out that I hear just in case not correct but 2 rumours about this transfer from today look positive.

If Dahl wanted to be a Cardiff City player then he would have signed over the last two weeks.
I feel the club is being given the run around by Tromso and Dahl.
Time to move on.
Very disappointed that no permanent outfield signings have been made. We are definitely weaker than last season but inasmuch tougher league. Not the best preparation for the season ahead.
BBM & his staff need to get a move on. A couple of signings could have equated to2.5k more season ticket sales.

Andrew, hold on to your beliefs in the transfer. Nothing has actually changed at this current time, and the Bluebirds are hoping to make an announcement on more than one player over the next few days

Sadly, there are one or two on here who don’t want any signings, as it suits their negative narrative

If anyone genuinely believes the club and/or BBM don’t ‘have a plan’, they are deluded

As always, despite the mockery of the likes of davids (who contributes little of note), these things do take time; particularly when the selling club are trying to ‘milk’ the situation for their own ends

If BBM wants the player, the club should back him, and they should only bring in those players BBM believes will improve the squad, not just add to it! :ayatollah:

How do you work that out?

He’s under contract so it’s the clubs decision to sell him not the players. He can’t decide to go to the club of his choosing if another club offers a mill more for example.

Good post Chris. The miserable buggers love this time of year as you quoted!

And if people think we’ll miss out on others because we’re looking at one particular player they’re naive.
They really think our manager hasn’t got a list and he’s the only one we are going for they’re crazy, negative or both.

Why can’t we just let it play out naturally?
It’s no different to most other transfers going on. It’s normal.

If it happens great if it doesn’t the tough.
