Jimmy Bullard on loan?

Thu Dec 15, 2011 4:01 pm

I'm hearing from a friend of mine (Hull City fan) that Cardiff have made a very brief inquiry about the possibility of bringing Jimmy Bullard on loan from Ipswich in January.

I am not sure what the outcome of it and likelihood of such a move would be although I am hearing Ipswich may be open to a move as they have failed to impress this season and find themselves in the Championship's bottom half, Jimmy is on £18K p/w at Ipswich so it would make sense to listen to loan offers of at least 50% wages paid.

Would you guys like to see Jimmy at Cardiff? On form he's a cracking talent IMO and tore us apart last season, he also has great passion for the game on the pitch however his time at Hull was surrounded by off-the-field incidences including drugs etc.

If Malky could get the best out of him on the pitch then I think a loan move could work out great for the club.

He isn't playing for ipswich because of bad attitude

No chance as he refuses to move from Surrey to Suffolk, so can't see him moving to South Wales!

would of fitted in well last season

Not a Malky player. Too much ego which could upset the balance of the team I reckon.

Re: Jimmy Bullard on loan?

Thu Dec 15, 2011 4:53 pm

Yes most definately. I think our fans have a short memory. every time he plays Cardiff he completly controls the game.
Huge ego? nah he is just a lad.

Injury prone yes but when fit can produce great things.

the character of the man would not suit malky nor his ethos, undoubted talent but not for Cardiff City FC. Thankyou please.

Where would he fit in anyway?
Witts and Bullard in the same team? I'm not sure.
It would certainly take away from witts performance in the team and wouldn't like to see gunarrson dropped.

was a cracking player in his day, wouldnt want him here now....passed it
plus he wouldnt get in our team

Re: Jimmy Bullard on loan?

Thu Dec 15, 2011 5:27 pm

We don't need him, and we don't want him! Complete nob end.

Re: Jimmy Bullard on loan?

Thu Dec 15, 2011 5:29 pm

This may have been a goer with Dave Jones but not with Malky! Injury prone, big ego and high wages! Also cant get in a team that are struggling in this league! No thanks!

Great talent, wasted potential.

Looks like a pirate.

Ah, Jimmy Bullard

An enigma wrapped in a riddle shrouded in mystery. Yes, was unimpressed with him few months ago when I thought he ran the show for Tractor Boys. We sneaked a 2-2 draw with a dubious penalty if I remember correctly.

And he was terrible back in March when we lost 2-0 at home to the same team. Perhaps someone could help me out with who scored the 2 goals for them. PS Dont think too hard.

Bullard appears to love the CCS.

Now, if we have contacted anyone, then I'm 100% sure Malcom would have been informed. Which would mean he approves.

Of course, no one really knows if this is the case.

Undoubtedly, a bit of a character. Never been a particular favorite of mine but there's never a dull moment with Jimmy about

I remember when he was at Fulham not so long ago, Arsenal were interested in him. If Malky could knuckle down on his off-the-field antics I feel on the field his attitude would be a plus, passionate and always joking around, in the squad it could be a benefit. I agree it's a big gamble though, but is it one worth taking?

Also I reckon if we continue with 4-5-1, a Whitts, Gunarsson and Bullard combination could be the perfect balance, with Kiss taking the place of him in tougher games.

Great post, on the last line his attitude and reputation of being a joker could help with the spirit in the camp, we could always cancel the loan (clause) if Malky isn't impressed with him.

As cover to Whitts maybe. But TBH how else would he get into the team ?

Re: Jimmy Bullard on loan?

Thu Dec 15, 2011 7:40 pm

suppose your right - he would be expensive cover for Whitts.

i want someone in the pocket behind millar.

Wages too high, professionalism too low. No thanks

Re: Jimmy Bullard on loan?

Fri Dec 16, 2011 6:24 pm

If the fee was as low as £500,000 and the wage was as low as £15 a week then I wouldn't mind. Certainly a good player but he has a big ego and is injury prone.

I could've sworn he left Fulham due to his attitude...or was I imagining it?
