A bang average player who hardly plays for a team that finished below us last season and he earns double the amount which is (apparently) our wage cap for next season.
Players will have to realise that the gravy train is coming to an end but it's going to be a hell of a job persuading decent Championship players to accept what could be a drop of 50% of their current wages.

When working on a budget it makes sense to shop locally first. Players more likely to think about us if they haven't got to worry about uprooting as well.
Oh and Bristol finished above us.

Yes but i'm also getting a bit fed up of all the Bristol rejects we've been like their care home the last few seasons.
It looks like a nothing of a story anyway thankfully !

It's only really this season that we are looking at Bristol players who are out of contract.
Most of the others we bought while they were in contract. Feels a bit more like us flexing as opposed to taking cast offs.

Yep, probably saw what Pack and the like got when coming to us and though he'd like a bit of that.
Those days have gone mate and probably not just at Cardiff.

I know there are major cutbacks happening but can't we afford to send our scouts further afield than Ashton Gate?
They probably have to go on a cheap day return on the train or maybe on National Express.
I'd suggest that the club probably has a season ticket to watch the Wurzels in case there are some more rejects for us to sign but a season ticket over there would be too expensive!

I love the close season rumours but I'd reserve judgement on who we're actually after til they've signed!! Particularly if the link is WOL
