Tommy Smith has completed his medical and will sign a 2 yr deal with a fee of around £350k paid to QPR. Welcome to Cardiff Tommy.
Darcy Blake to Palace is done for a fee of £300k. Good luck Darcy.
Solomon Taiwo has been released by City, all the best wherever you end up Solomon.

Thankfully Taiwo's gone. and Darcey's fee has paid for Tommy.

Gutted Darcy has gone weve lost a quality defender IMO , happy with smith signing though and Taino leaving

Good luck to Darcy and Solomon and a big welcome to Tommy Smith

This is now Malky's squad as he has moved out those that didn't fit in with his plans other than possibly Keinan and Earnie.
Goalkeeper
Seems to be covered with Marshall in great form and Lewis
Defence
We seem to be very light on defensive cover unless Malky is going to rely on the youngsters covering? Maybe he will get a loan or 2 in from a premier clubs to cover?
Midfield
Looking very strong and options to play various midfield formations
I guess Harris and Ralls may play for Under 21 or even short term loans to get some game time
Attack
Personally I would look at loaning/selling Earnie then loaning Rudy and possibly Jarvis out then getting 1 strong and quick striker in.
Thoughts?

Is that business done?

Hopefully not.
Good options in midfield, up front (though one more quality striker would be good) and keepers - but the defence is paper thin. No depth - we need 2 more.

1 defender and a striker.

Thanks for the update Mr C although i thought Soloman left us in July ........

Solomon was released mid-July. He was paid off but it just wasn't announced.

Really?
His "escape" comment on twitter suggested he was still with us?

Interesting.
Seems the club aren't as professional as we would hope.

The club official site should be up to date and telling fans who signs and leaves and they have failed on both fronts recently.

The club needs to speed up - on a lot of fronts. The replica kits are always out later than any of the Premier League teams. I remember one year, Gilesports on the Hayes were advertising the release date of Aston Villa's new home shirt in mid-June - yes, a f***ing Brummie team's kit in the centre of Cardiff! CCFC's kit came out late, as usual and without a fanfare and only sold at the club, not every sports shop in town like some of the foreign (English) clubs' shirts.
Less and less patience these days with a lot of people who want up to the minute information, so the club needs to catch up - and capitalise on the popularity of replica shirts by releasing them earlier and selling them all over the centre of Cardiff and beyond.

The kits in the last 2-3 years haven't been to bad.
My announce us they haven't told us that Taiwo has been released. And took how long to announce the kiss signing? (after fans moaned and moaned).
Two very simple things
