UPDATED Cardiff City Have Apparently Made Their 3rd Signing

Thu Jan 18, 2018 6:57 pm

Alan Nixon (relcutantnicko on Twitter) talking about Lewis Grabban to Cardiff City: “Should happen. But big numbers.”



Lewis Grabban has reportedly signed for Cardiff, I'll believe it when I see it personally.

Hmmm Warnock quoted above saying he was turned down on a 3 million bid because the player didn't want to come, thought it might have been Grabban ?

Time will tell ?

Could be anybody, but I thought the same

Warnock has not got £3.5mill to spend.

Thats why we get loan players / Free agents and only buy once we have got rid of a player example Idris Saddi sold,then brought in Lee Tomlin.


No way would we afford that amount.

If Neal Warnock had that much, u would see about 3-4 players being bought :thumbright: :bluebird:

I would assume that was Forshaw, all I saw from journo's was that he was set on going to Leeds over us, they reportedly paid 4.5m for him and I personally wouldn't want to pay that for him, I think I would rather spend it on a striker if we can, especially now that Grujic has joined.

You said the same in the summer and we signed ward and tomlin,how do you know what Warnock has to spend? I wouldn't be surprise if this is true 3.5 million is peanuts in today's market ,but also wouldn't be surprised if some of our players are sold too

To be fair Annis he has openly admitted in a Sky interview that he had bid £3 million for a player, maybe it would only get sanctioned if he promised to offload a couple of players, just a thought anyways.

Tbh if he makes a good case for it I can’t see why he wouldn’t get the money

Let’s be honest the premiership money is what the owners want even if they only spend a season up there then financially it works for them...if Warnock sells Grabban the saviour to the owners who knows

Re: Cardiff City Have Apparently Made Their 3rd Signing

Thu Jan 18, 2018 7:37 pm

I can see this being totally feasible although I know no more than the average fan.

If I remember rightly Warnock had a warchest in the summer circa £5m, and has recently stated that he spent a net £1.5m. If he thinks Grabban is the man there is no reason that the board would not back him for £3.5m plus wages.

I hope it's true but as always will believe if it becomes official. We live in hope. :bluebird:

Re: Cardiff City Have Apparently Made Their 3rd Signing

Its probably only around 2m and 1.5m if promoted. Even tan knows we need to spend money for a goalscorer surely.

Signing Campbell in promotion season was a revelation.I know it was a fraction of the price of grabban,but he s another player who knows where to put the ball .Can make all the difference

I hope this doesn’t mean that Ken is off

Reports were coming out that Warnock gave up on his first midfield target and opted for his second? This was after the Mansfield game.

So going off this the cash we could have used for Forshaw has been turned elsewhere maybe that's why the strong reports of Grabban in the past few days because the Forshaw deal fell through?

Zohore of the second half of last season was unbelievable however grabban seems to score goals consistently and way more experienced In this division

I just asked Alan Nixon (reluctantnicko) on Twitter about us signing Grabban. This was his response:


“Should happen. But big numbers”

Re: Cardiff City Have Apparently Made Their 3rd Signing

Thu Jan 18, 2018 9:04 pm

So warnocks NEVER bought a player for 3m? Or is that a stupid question and he means with Cardiff?

£3m Failed was Adam Forshaw.

Yes, it seems it was him (Adam Forshaw) that declined a move to City in favour of Leeds United :thumbright:

Truth be known, I'm glad it was him rather than Lewis Grabban and the auspices appear good on that particular signing, according to reliable (media) sources on the south coast

We can only live in hope! :ayatollah:

His quote was a record transfer for us under him, not his biggest signing and not ours, but the most he has spent since being at ours. Grabban looks a good buy, his goals speak for themselves nobody can deny his record this season in this division

Leeds paid 4.5 mill for Forshaw which is a bit steep, he's not that good.

I'm hearing we bid 3 mill for Lansbury but he didn't want to leave the midlands as his house, family and dogs live there, don't know how true that is mind.
