I'd rather see Purse get some dubbin on his boots. Its someone in the Purse, Hudson or Morrison mould we could do with though.
TBH someone like big Sol would have relished playing under BBM... Confident on the ball, bit of pace and a natural committed leader... Still gutted the big man lost his fight.
As Victor Meldrew said.........."I don't believe it!".......... "Wrexham interested in Cardiff City’s Calum Chambers The Wrexham Insider’s chief transfer expert, Graeme Bailey, has now told us that Wrexham are interested in signing Calum Chambers from Cardiff City. Defender Chambers is understood to be interested in a move back to the Championship following Cardiff’s relegation to League One. A number of Championship sides have been linked, and it is believed Sheffield United are one of those."
No argument with that but we will need a new cb in rapidly with Daland rumoured to be on his bike as well. Or we are left with only Fish and Lawlor, neither of whom fall into the frame of our previous cb's mentioned in above posts With Ng still out (he wasn't even sat with Horvath, Daland and Robertson behind our subs on Tuesday) we also have no full back cover. All told our squad is looking ridiculously thin. Apart from Wintle, Salech, Turnbull and Robinson, what is left if Chambers and Daland go anytime soon, is basically last season's Under 21's plus the returning loaners who are also little more than teenagers themselves. I know BBM wants to promote our younger players but, FFS, some experience is essential.
He doesn't seem to agree with us. Another good interview though. https://tv.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/videos/afceaf25-2adc-4486-887d-990b24dd8cf1
Totally agree. The clubs owners are deluded if they think a squad of youngsters without some strong characters and leaders on the pitch (especially at CB) are going to stroll this division. The sooner Ng gets back the better. Play him at CB if needs be if Kpakio is going to be the first choice RB The writing was on the wall at Port Vale. Rotherham are next up who have Hughill who will give whoever we field at CB a tough time. There’s a fortnight to get in some experienced players; not journeymen but good quality players at this level who Tan will have to shell out cash for. I should add I’m all for youngsters; the previous managers have largely ostracised them so good on BBM but the youngsters over a 46 game season can’t do it all on their own.
Still no incomings. Other than a new analyst. B B-M says he has the backing of the board, he still wants signings but he's happy with the squad.
Interesting that Chambers didnt do the interview after the midweek game or before tomorrow's game. In fact, I think he's only done one with 3 games gone and the 4th preview. A good interview with Bagan though. He spoke well. https://tv.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/videos/082c61fc-281e-4add-9d86-973411bbd3ae
Must have been while they were in Spain, so a few weeks old, but another good interview. Salech comes across as an intelligent and rounded individual. https://tv.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/videos/8fb6dab9-8361-4623-a1cb-eb59bdc09499

BBM's response to a question about Wrexham's interest in Chambers. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport...rian-barry-murphy-responds-chambers-32291313# He appears to deny it but it's a bit Wenger "I didn't see it, I don't know". Not 100% clear to me.
