    Will it come off?
    How much will they spend this month?
    What do you think of Ole Gunnar Soljskaer?
    What do you think of the 2 proposed signings this week, Norweigans; Magnus Wolf Eikrem (23) and Mats Moller Daehli (18)?
    Are you in any way jealous?


    Personally I think their odds of staying up have just increased, so in that sense rolling the dice and getting rid of Malky helps them achieve their aim
    ...but, the stakes will increase this month. We don't know how much by yet.
    IMO if they spend £20m or so in January and go down they are in deep, deep ****....just a hunch.

    Ole Gunnar Soljskaer seems like an intelligent, likeable sort....he's definitely bringing some positivity to Cardiff City already.
    However, he's got a big job on!
    Bringing in another raft of players and attempting to blend them in at this point of the season will take some doing...but, he does have a solid defence to build on (providing they don't get any injuries to the likes of Caulker, Marshall or Medel).

    Too early to form any conclusions but how do you feel this will pan out for them?

    Rumours are that he's targeting some of his ex players from his previous club ,a bit of gamble if true ,I'm not expert but I'd imagine he'll rely on the existing players and fill in the weakness positions with his own players .Other than that I have no further comment to make at this time ,I was just being polite otherwise you may have thought you were on ignore .:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Isn't 'die' the singular?

    In common vernacular, they're interchangeable.

    This is true.

    Terror - don't worry you're not on my 'special list' but I can add you if you're feeling left out. <laugh>

    But back on topic I think landing OGS will give them a huge lift but I'm amazed he's gone there. That said, Molde are having a pretty average season after having two good ones so that may have been a factor.

    Time will tell whether he'll be able to do a job, particularly under Tan, but he has the right footballing philosophy and knows the game and this League. I know nothing of his signings at all so can't comment but the Norwegian league isn't the strongest. Again, only time will tell.

    OSG reported to be using his "Red" (the real one) connections to grab Zaha. No doubt Fergie will favour him and lend a helping hand.

    That will be enough to keep them up imo but Moyes is under increasing pressure to use him more and if he goes out on loan and plays well I see further problems at Old Trafford if their woes continue.

    If olly is allowed to do his own thing within reason and without interference from tan then he may keep them up. But tan probably wanted to buy a yes man that he can manipulate. Ollies red connection was a bonus for tan too also did he play number 8 or got an 8 in his d.o.b ?
