    It's all over Twitter, medical today sign tomorrow.

    John Brayford, 25, looks certain to sign for Cardiff City. reports say he is having a medical - undisclosed fee, but seems to be £2m

    Malky was after him in January but it came to nothing. Good wing back and would be a good signing in an area in which we're very light. If it comes off, it'll be a relief of some sort, but I hope it doesn't stop there.

    Prem football presents a different challenge to what he's used to, but that's just the same for the existing members of our squad. I'd like to see some experience in the side of what's required up there, rather than the possibility of half a season finding out.

    Subject to the player passing a medical on Friday the rest should just be a formality
    So looking at his C.v. he has made a dramatic rise in just a few years ......from the lower leagues to the very top
    Burton Albion
    Crewe Alexandra
    Derby County
    according to the beeb Wet Spam United were also thought to be interested in signing Brayford but Cardiff seem to have won the contest as they strengthen for their debut Premier League season.
    In Malky we trust

    Re-assuring news DJR <ok> Let's hope he's the first of a few signings in the next few weeks.

    I feel that there will be a few more before we play WHU.

    Simon Moore has officially signed, another good signing for Cardiff.

    It seems that we are in talks with agents for Capoue & Hector Moreno

    One full back sorted. Great news the derby boys really seem to rate him and it says a lot about a player that none seem to begrudge him his chance at PL football.

    Do you think MM believes Taylor has the LB slot sorted? He had to be one of the best left backs in the championship last season. Maybe out budget can't justify what it will take to improve on him.

    Great news, probably better than Kev or Connolly.

    Really rate Taylor but has he got enough pace?

    I thought Taylor had a very good season part of that could be the help he gets from the wide men.

    If we do get Capoue and Moreno; I think all we need then is a very direct winger. Someone to drive the ball up the pitch and at the oppositions defences. Noone cuts back way too much for me.

    I don't think we'll get capoue tbh but I really hope I'm wrong.

    We need pace in our back 4. Brayford helps, but Hudson, Turner and Taylor look a bloody slow outfit despite all being excellent readers of the game.

    I hope your wrong 2 stevo, but I also think we wont get him...shame he looks a good un.

    brayford is a tidy pick, lets see if the lad can take his chance and enjoy taking on some of the highest earners and biggest ego`s in the game today.

    If there was any intention to join surely he'd come here. Even Ince came and had a look.
