Neil Warnock: Cardiff City boss already eyeing trio of signings in January including a striker and believes and hopes owner Tan will back him.

Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock says the club must not get cut adrift in the Premier League before the transfer window re-opens in January.
The Bluebirds are yet to win this season, their worst start to a campaign since 1964/1965.
NEIL WARNOCK:
"It's the biggest challenge of my career, we have to find away of getting results until January," Warnock said.
Warnock thinks Cardiff owner Vincent Tan will allow him to strengthen his squad in the New Year as he continues to battle in his "toughest job."
"It has been a pretty amazing ride really, a lot of memorable times and probably as difficult a job as I have ever had in my career, really," he told BBC Sport Wales.
No clue how to improve Cardiff defence - Warnock
"We've got there (the Premier League) too quick though, we've been victims of our own success.
"Every few months we've jumped up two steps, rather than one.
"You can't say no to the Premier League though. The bookies have already written us off… but we can win games at this level.
"It is alright to say Vincent (Tan) should put more money in, but he's spent a fortune already.
"We need to do the best we can. Let's get more results and stay in and around the group until January and then Vincent I think will let us have two or three players."
Warnock says the Bluebirds will target the signing of a striker, having missed out on players during the summer.
"We went after quite a number of strikers, but they all fell through for one reason or another," he said.
"Sometimes you have to move quickly and we hesitated on a couple of occasions and it cost us dearly.
"We are still learning, right from the start we've said we won't moan about anything. We wanted a few more players but they aren't here. There is no point crying over spilt milk.
"We've got to try and conjure up, up until the January transfer window . . . so that we don't get adrift and that we can hopefully get two or three players in.
"When you think to deadline day, we only got Harry Arter and Victor Camarasa in 10 minutes before deadline. Imagine where we'd be without those two.
"We've really worked hard, but it has been a difficult time for us and there is no point saying differently.
"We've come so far so quickly, but you can't turn it down can you?
"When I joined we wanted to stay in the Championship, now we are in the Premier League."
Warnock says the Bluebirds' failure to capture Jefferson Lerma, who subsequently signed for AFC Bournemouth, emphasises the difficultly Cardiff have in competing in the top flight.
"We looked at Lerma. We offered £5 million. He went to Bournemouth for £25 million. We aren't in that bracket yet," Warnock said.
"I have got to work within a budget and try and get the best I can.
"At the moment I don't think we can do too much more.
"Sometimes it is difficult to digest, but you have to walk before you can run."

The fact we were trying to sign strikers is great but is part of the failure down to a lack of nous in the transfer market at top level and limited scouting network (all over Europe)?
Neil says Jefferson Lerma not in our bracket at 5 mil but didnt we spend around 20 mil all in on Murphy and Reid? Something's not quite stacking up there.
May be NW is affected a bit by his previous trials in the Prem and a bit out of his comfort zone.
Hope we're still in with a chance come January- some positive signs against Burnley despite the defeat.

Should have done this before the season started.

Wouldn’t call it “already”, but good to see him put pressure on Tan (and himself)

he eventually went to Bournemouth for 25mill ….its the 25 mill that's not in our bracket

If we are bottom of the league in January, who exactly is going to WANT to sign for us.
Unlikely to be anyone with the potential and talent to keep us in this division.
Difficult enough to persuade players to join a newly promoted club (that has little prospect of surviving) at the start of the season. Far more difficult in January if we are struggling.

If we are cut adrift I would hope we won't be spending anything.

Agree the time to invest was pre season
I'd rather go down and invest in championship with a better balance sheet than throw money away at a lost cause
