He's been brought in to replace/cover for Wallace.

Cant see Cardiff sending John up if he isnt going to get a game. Who does he start for though, he can play left and right.

 

I can't see him replacing either Wallace or Tav. I'd think he would be back-up.

We now have Aiden Wilson and Declan John in the squad.

 

My, how times have changed.

And I took a sharp intake of breath when Pena crossed himself as he came on as a sub at the weekend. But I haven't seen or heard anything about that. Indeed, how times have changed

I'm going golfing this afternoon so it saves me having to check my phone every few holes...

 

Deborah ? Alison ? Phillppa ? Sue ?

Not signing a left mid or forward to replace Miller and windass leaves a big ass gap in the team

 

Herrera to replace Miller

A combo of Windass, Pena, Miller and that kid on loan from City for the left?

Would prefer Walker to all of them, of course, but we do have cover of sorts

Yes times have changed and only for the better so time to drop the add-ons to songs and change also with the times:rfcbouncy:

[Gonzo79 13,548]

Considering our club's current stature in European football circles, I'm not sure times have changed for the better.

 

Back to the topic - hopefully we bring one or two more in, although I won't hold my breath (I'm not bothered about Walker).

Although only 22, Declan has a lot of first team experience, so is clearly not in the Cardiff manager's plans and they are happy to get him off the wage bill (or at least some of his wage) and probably wont care if he gets game time or not. It is not the same as getting in Zelalem & Oduwa where our deal was to give them game time to bring on their development. If Declan is here as cover (in PC's view) then that is fine as we were lacking cover at full back with Wallace seemingly having some recurring injury issues.

 

If it turns our Declan can force his way into the team and play well enough to be undroppable, then we are the winners there.

 

I am glad the board haven't splashed out any further cash in this window, despite us needing more quality. We would be best waiting until a combination of Mark Allen getting to know where our needs lie and develop his contacts in our favour, and the new manager which will no doubt be here if not by Xmas, then certainly by next summer. If PC is still here next summer, then we didnt need any additional players from what we have just now.
