Cardiff will have no one in training. One to eleven of their first team will be on International duty Clever transfer selections by Huw and Laudrup I say Kairdiff will no doubt pay the consequences in the next few weeks.
Terror treat all dai's comments with contempt. He has been at this for at least 5 years, for years he has been calling on Jenkins to splash the cash now he is saying he spent to much, you just cannot make it up. At least he is consistent, consistently wrong on the way the club is run and how it has performed. I think we are in a great position, we have made good signing's and have not lost key player's, our new striker is scoring in Europe and at home and looks threatening. We have an extremely talented young striker who will no doubt benefit from Laudrup's experience. Canas has slotted in almost seamlessly, Shelvey and 10 million for Joe Allen? I'd bite your arm off. Routledge and Hernandez are playing their way into form. In Michu we have one of the best mid fielders in the Premier League, if Fellani is worth what he is, what would the cost of Michu be? Our back four is established and consistent. Our bench is full of pace and flair, in Pozuelo another gem has been unearthed. For another year at least we have the best young manager in the world. Last but not least we are being expertley guided by our wonder full chairman, a fan and a true Swan. These are fantastic times to be a Swan, we are living the dream! Win, lose or draw, proud to be a Swan.
Terror what planet are you on ???I'm on about paying £12 million for one player in only our 3rd season and that has gone against everything we stood for. we could have got two players for that. We should stick to our principals and spent a million or even two increase for every season we are in the premiership, bugger what anyone else does. We have jumped up two seasons on our principals of steady spending and now we have opened the gates to players demands on wages as you can bet bony is our highest earner on a good whack. we should have used our budget more sensible imo as i don't like where this could go if things go pear shape.
So you've moved the goal posts and now, for you to be happy....in retrospect, you would have liked us to have signed 7 players for £30 million but none over £10 million...what's the cap you'd like to see introduced Dai? Which of our other transfers would you have liked to have seen us spend more on? What planet am I on?!?!? Goodnight Mr. Confused.
What makes you think I was replying to anyone? If by "yet" you mean after bit parts in 3 games, in which he scored a quality goal against utd let's not forget, don't you think it's a bit too early to judge anything?
Complete nonsense. As usual. It was no surprise at all that the club spent as much as they did on him. We've been happy to smash the transfer record every year, and the extra £20m in TV money made it inevitable that we would do the same again. The £10m barrier was always going to be the next to fall. It would also be a significant achievement to better last seasons performance even if we had spent twice as much. As Laudrup said. We need to run to stand still. Mid-table is again the target.
what has happened to spending sensible...the only goal posts i see moved is the ones that want us to over spend stupid money because other teams have and im afraid its will lead us back to the bad old days and eventually come back and bite us on the bum.....watch this space....you know im right as everyone thought so when we were doing it.. bad move...
So now that daiswan has been proven to be a WUM , should he be banned ? This has finally exposed him beyond doubt ,he has broken forum rules IMO .
What? Dai has been caught out contradicting himself - though curiously he seems to be denying that - and you want to ban him for that? For ****'s sake, NJ. If you don't want to look at his comments put him on ignore. It really isn't hard. If people also stopped 'replying with quotes' that would be the end of it. You may not like his comments (I find many of them infuriating too) but at least they are almost always football related.
What the empty space between your ears, You must be pure joy to live with, nothing but doom and gloom
... I knew exactly what fish i would hook with my last post,im suprised i caught it so quickly though ,especially as the fish im refering to doesnt Even post here anymore Since the WUM posts by daiswan my responses have been Made firmly with tounge in cheek. Im sure many others have done the same..
Home, home at last, been dreaming of home for weeks. Been baking in plus 45 degrees every day and shivering in minus "fek its freezing" every night. Got to be the absolute worst job I've ever done endurance wise, I'm totally spent, thank Brian its over. Great to be back in Jackland though. In my opinion £12m for a decent defender is a little expensive, £12m for a decent midfielder is good business, vfm even (we sold Joe for £15m), but £12m for a decent striker is, as the birdy says, cheap cheap cheap. For me Bony is doing a great job considering he missed pre-season and played only a bit part in our pre-season friendlies due to paper work delays; His training, fitness and time with the team further disrupted by international duties with the Ivory Coast. Out of all our summer signings, excluding Alvaro, Bony's spent the least time with the team and this has manifest itself in his touch and link play not being up to the mark yet. This is understandable when you consider all the disruption he faced in the 4/5 weeks he's been with us, but it will improve as he and the team gel. On top of everything else he's carrying a slight but deep ankle sprain which is hindering his quickness off the mark, general movement around the pitch and his shooting, but it is healing so we can expect his general play to improve over the next month or so. 4 goals and 2 assists is a pretty good return considering don't you think ? I do. Regarding his price, £12m for last seasons top scorer and player of the year in the Eredivisie is pretty reasonable to me. 31 odd goals shows great potential and it is this potential we've bought. Imho, £12m Bony is a Goldilocks investment, not too much, not too little but just right. At £12m Bony doesn't have to be RVP, I wish, to show a virtual return, he only has to be decent 12-15 goals, to get a return. Bony is a shrewd investment, our board fought for the price and got it so, adding this to the 10 years of shrewd management, its a definite "Hats off" to Jenkins and the board from me. Laudrup has the tools he wanted so the pressure is certainly on him to perform and I'm sure he will. Onwards upward
