Dont think it matters, lets be honest if a prem club comes in we aint got a chance anyway.

Hence the need to be quicker out of the blocks.

Should have tied this up before Lambert went to Villa

Oh come on, his agent would have been putting his name around all the prem clubs first anyway.
Even if City did agree a fee his agents next step would have been to let every prem manager know about it. If a club like VIlla want him then they will get him over us.

I dont see a host of prem clubs linked or haggling over him?

Weve been linked since January ffs. Had we been quick out of the blocks the deal could have been done before Villa were even interested as they didnt have a manager.

Another Marvin Sordell. Dragged our feet and got pipped.

I never said they would be haggling over him :roll:
He only needs one interested prem club like Villa and City have no chance.

I doubt he was in a rush to sign for a Championship club anyway.

Oh come on, don't be so realistic and reasonable.

Surely every player in the country will jump at the first option to move that they get -particularly to Cardiff City.

There are 3 or 4 on here who seem to inhabit their own private planet :lol:

Yes because signing from league one to a team who have consistently been knocking on the door to the premiership is so ludicrous I must be from another planet :roll:

Of course we cannot compete against Villa head to head thats why we needed to steal a march on them.

Doesnt look like anyonelse in the prem was interested. Its only the likes of Lambert would take a gamble on a league one player.

How do you know that no other club in the premier league wasn't interested? Just because it wasnt reported in the media doesn't mean teams were not talking to his agent. Wouldnt Bredan Rogers take a punt on a lower league player? Even United have signed a player from the lower leagues.

Dont see this as one that got away as 2Blue says he probably wasn't in a rush to sign for a championship side as he could wait for a prem team to come in for him. If not then he would be safe in the knowledge there would be championship club to sign for.
