Would be a good signing if he could stay fit , similar to the bielik signing

6 foot tall and good technical ability

Sounds like he’d fit the bill if any truth in the rumour

I think he's a defensive midfielder (6) is that right. ??

I would be surprised if we get any free agents in at all but this would be a decent signing if it happens :bluescarf:

An excellent signing if we got him, but I don't think it will happen as wages will be an issue if other clubs get involved.

If he's as good as everyone thinks then why is he a free agent ?...

Not sure if he is good but

1 -Had a few injuries
2 - Maybe holding out for a good wage?

Bamba and Hoilett were free agents so doesnt mean they arent good

If he's got choices then no doubt he'll turn us down like others have done this summer.

Manager Brian Barry-Murphy says Cardiff City are monitoring the free-agent market as an injury-hit and winless Championship start has reduced the Irishman's options.

The Bluebirds' lack of depth has come under scrutiny with 15-year-old Noah Anyadike and 16-year-old Paul Moreno named on the bench against Stoke City in midweek.

Barry-Murphy insists both youngsters, however, have earned their places in the matchday squad.

"Those players were on the bench because they've done really well and they were deserving of it," he said.

"If we had signed more players, then maybe they wouldn't have been, but they are and I'm very pleased with them.

"There were very similar players in a similar position last season who've now become mainstays in the team. They all have to start somewhere."
