David Brooks

[Swansea93]

Scummers seem to think they have him on loan, would have been brilliant for us.

 

[eteb]

Surely fcking not

 

[eteb]

If they get him and Moore then I can see them in the play offs with Ramsey baxk too - shake that reading got the points deduction last year as these fuckers would be in oblivion for years otherwise.

Surely to god there'd be better takers for Brookes than that lot ffs?

 

[sainthelens]

How are these weasels doing it ? Transfer restrictions wasn't it ??

 

[eteb]

Surely the likes of Leicester, soton, Leeds and lowe teams would
Be looking at him?

Rivalry aside, why the fck would he go there?

 

[Magic_Michu]

Leeds and Southampton supposedly after him too

Leeds would have to be losing a few players to have room for Brooks. James and Summerville are on fire. Gnonto, Anthony, Sinisterra, Poveda all quality players catching splinters.

 

[Manselton Jack]

Cardiff, really???

 

[sainthelens]

Or is it just the infamous scum media spinning the usual bile.?

How does that work they got a team of loanees already, transfer embargo be fuked, a transfer embargo should mean exactly that, not allow teams to bring in loanees and sign free transfers/unattached players, if they can prove that they have a significant injury crisis in one of two positions then fair enough, but what they have got away with is laughable. :x

Their 'embargo' is now up as of this window I believe. As laughable as it was - still being allowed to sign marquee players for 'free' like Ramsey and Siopsis who miraculously cancelled his contract at Trabzonspor (who were apparently happy to let him walk away for nothing despite being a regular for them last season?). These sound like A Ayew / Gomis type 'frees' to me (although at least both of them were actually out of contract).

Struggling to understand how they aren't falling foul of ffp now they're paying around 17mill as a championship club belatedly for Sala and have a wage bill which apparently which is around the 6th highest in the division. They've got Karlan Grant who Silverstein said last January (if he can be believed) would have become our highest earner had he signed.

I’m sure I saw Cardiff were like the 4/5th highest wages payers in the league.

 

[Lampeterjack]

Rob Page is pushing the welsh internationals towards Cardiff, they are also paying really big wages. Could well happen.

 

[eteb]

That model won't work forever though unless they get promoted.

Ramsey, Siopis, Goutas, Moore (if true) all approaching/past 30 with little sell in value.

They should count themselves very very fortunate to not be in league one this season

There's a chart going round from one of those websites with completely made up numbers. I wouldn't put much stock in it.
