A lot of people are getting themselves worked up over the players we've signed so far. It's a fair reaction to bringing Burgess in, who is proven at this level and probably higher. I think we need to temper it a bit with the others though. Inoussa, Widell or Wales will find themselves playing at...

Scotland replaced Trundle and was better than him. A lot of people never forgave that.

Absurdly under appreciated as a major player in our rise. Worthy of a lot more respect than he gets.

All for 25 grand.

The absolute last thing I'd have called Scotland is a target man to be honest. Bringing others into play was never a strength of his. He was just a ruthless goalscorer. We've not really had anyone like him since. Maybe Piroe was a bit similar in his ability to be anonymous for 20 minutes then...

Paul Clement was a highly rated coach (he's still Ancelotti's go-to guy. Currently assistant boss with Brazil) but was never much of a manager. Cardiff seem to be putting a hell of a lot of faith in BBM to be different despite the evidence to the contrary so far.

Aye. He played his best football ghosting into the box from slightly deeper. As a partnership they could have been something special.

He looked sharp when he finally broke into the side. Ended his first season with a run of six goals in ten games, then scored in our first four games the following season, but the team started falling to bits as things went on and more of what had worked for years was purged by Monk.

That's what happens when you're making the quick runs and the ball comes too late. The pass started coming later and later the more Monk imposed his style. He'd have scored a shedload for Laudrup.

This game I believe. He'd been out on loan the season before and a lot of people didn't want him back. He then proceeded to carry the team for much of the next two seasons.

So, Cardiff aren't even the League One club with the most investment potential according to a Cardiffian.

One of the tragedies of Laudrup's second season is that we didn't see enough of them playing together. Michu arriving late in the box off Wilf's layoffs could have been sensational.

Wilf is still the best striker I've ever seen play for the club. No matter what I can't hold his second spell against him.

If any player could be said to have done his best to earn the money he was on it was Ayew. There wasn't a single game, or at least so few that none come immediately to mind, you could point at where he gave less than everything he had. Should have been captain. Was in all but technicality.

Arguably twice.

No. Apparently they've had technical issues. It's readable now. Annis's board is full of loonies but the other one tends to make more sense.

The last people to make any money out of owning the club were Jenkins and co.

Indeed. The same thought process that saw a minimum of £10-15m pumped in per season as "asset stripping".

Really want to see Eom play more centrally.

Crap squad, up to their eyeballs in debt, can't find a manager and still run by Tan. It's entirely possible that they haven't bottomed out yet. Wouldn't bet against a battle at the wrong end of the table again this season.
