“ BBM SAYS ITS A NO TO THE TRANSFER “

Cardiff City manager Brian Barry-Murphy has emphatically dismissed a "far-fetched" link with Dutch midfielder Melle
Meulensteen as the Bluebirds continue their search for further additions with two weeks of the transfer window remaining.


Cardiff have been linked with the 27-year-old Go Ahead Eagles midfielder, who was reportedly left out of his side's weekend draw with Feyenoord amid interest in his services.


When asked about the Meulensteen speculation by BBC Radio Wales following Monday night's 1-1 draw with Wrexham, Barry-Murphy was unequivocal.
"I don't know anything about that," he said

I wouldn't take for gospel anything he says in a press conference. He said that Rubin was making good progress but didn't say that he might be involved in the game, and look how that turned out Moylan seemed to happen all of a sudden, so I think he is very good at keeping his cards very close to his chest.

That game highlighted exactly why BBM needs backing with transfers. Our defensive spine was completely disrupted by the injuries to Fish and Lawlor, forcing Bagan into centre-half alongside Osho, and Osho's defensive positioning was exposed early on. You can't expect fluid football when Scanlon just arrived, Moylan is still building partnerships, and Rubin is only fit enough for a 25-minute cameo. We’ve got a good squad, but injuries cripple us. Signing three or four defensive & midfield additions, and a striker isn't a luxury; it's an absolute necessity if we want proper stability

Can flip that the other way though and massively question why he signed Osho

Thing is with BBM he doesn't want defenders to just be defenders. Osho got MOTM on Flash Score, mainly because of his progressive carries and passes into the final third. Think he had something like a 97% passing success as well, which BBM loves.

He did make a mistake for their goal by playing Moore onside but I thought otherwise he did alright. Wouldn't have been my MOTM though, I voted for Scanlon.

Totally agree with you Bluebina regarding new players needed !!

Mark,


I believe BBM knows he needs some quality ASAP , as if we don’t we will find ourselves in a relegation battle.

Whilst he should have moved up he was couple yards away and other defenders should have been more attentive to Moore if did that he wouldn't have had time space to score.... but your right about why bbm likes him and matb bit of problems with recruitment
