I wouldn’t take a single one of those players.

Maybe Darren Bent, just to hand out the half time orange

The only one I would maybe consider is Wes Hoolahan even though he is 36 a one year contract and he could be a handy squad player as we lack creativity in midfield. I guess Luke Steele would be an okay cheap option for a sub keeper too. Though personally have no problems keeping Murphy as second choice.

There all free agents because there clubs don' t want them so whats the point? Cardiff city is' nt a retirment home for x players there clubs deem them not good enough and thats in the championship you could also add some of our players to the list its like picking whats left at the bottom of the basket after everybody else has picked.

Onuoha might be useful, as defensive cover. Can play all along the back four.

Sign Stephen Quinn and it would be the first time in my life I'd want us to lose ! Horrible little s---.

When are we going to release our retained list? We were after everyone else last season if I remember correctly?

Clayton Donaldson maybe with a try...got a keen eye for goals and Wages will be favourable.

Spot on :thumbup: and it's hard to see any Championship clubs being tempted either.

I would take alan hutton. Would fill our right back position nicely possibly? Had a good season at villa by all accounts
