They seem to think that he's coming to City

WHO ???

well...the malaysians wanted players from league 1 and 2, personally if i was looking in those leagues it would be from the league 2 teams that got promoted and the league 1 teams that just missed out/ got promoted

The Malaysians are cheap

i agree with their policy. I wouldnt mind seeing young talent being bought in from the lower leagues..im not expecting promotion this season

we tried this with taiwo. great in league 1/2.... not that great in championship...

i think we need to still look at bringing in 1 or 2 quality established players to bring abit of balance and experience.

i also think taiwo wasnt given a chance. if he went to scunthorpe (and they got promoted back up) i think he may do good in the championship cause he would;ve played with the team, (ive rambled on a bit, got a bit distracted)

He's 18 and plays for the Wales U-19s. Definitely one for the future, not someone who will contribute right away.

sign him up and loan him straight back to shrewsbury, we get a potentiol young talent and they make money whilst getting their player back for a season...win-win situation

Saw him play a few times last season, definitely has quality.

he did play out of his skin fair play in the bristol city game in the snow... but hasnt shown enough to keep his place or earn a start... will have to see what happens pre season with him.

pretty decent record for a youngster. £500k maybe plus loan back?

He's got a good eye for goal and pace. From what I've seen, he'll be a top player.

I would definitely look to get him in, not as first choice though.

Someone to bring through and under Mackay and his team he could flourish into a great player.

I wonder how much we would need to bid to land him? 250K?

I would not want us paying anymore though, not sure if the shrews would accept that if the rate him to go far in the game

Bob Hatton said on another thread that he is close to joining...

You heard it here first

heres what we get if he's coming look at 5minutes 33 seconds and enjoy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAFVjjKJgVs

^ Thats a screamer, what a goal.

Interestingly, Shrewsbury have signed two strikers in the last week.

Perhaps gearing up to Bradshaw coming to Cardiff?

Yeah I heard Shrewsbury signed another striker today, didn't know they signed 2 though. So it looks like he's leaving Shrewsbury at any rate, we'll just have to wait and see whether he becomes a bluebird

Maybe why we aint signing earnie ?

Seems like Malky is interested in younger players.

Still time though

I prefer younger players myself if im honest Im an Arsene Wenger fan over 30+ policy one year contract man (Except Bellamy ofc) wouldn't mind MM Delivering AW style football either ! If only

At least when we buy or sign younger players there is potential to make some money down the road when we sell them. The flaw with Dave Jones was his shit or bust policy of signing big names on big wages (who were quite happy to stroll around the field or fall on their ass to justify payment of said wages)and either letting their contracts run down or sign them on loan in the first place thereby leaving the club without a pot to piss in. Who thinks it was the wrong decision to get rid of moans now?

Honestly believe this lad can become a leading star within a few years

Shrewsbury are my other team and he is a great player, and committed to being a top player!

Bradshaw certainly seems to be a talent. Its so refreshing to see us
going for youth

Cowie is 28, Taylor is 25, Conway 26... those are our three signings so
far, all youngish lads, but none of them inexperienced kids. Goodwillie
would be a proper youngster, less experience but a very highly rated
player.

But on top of all that, Malky isnt afraid to take a calculated risk on raw
young talent like Bradshaw?

Things are looking good

I like risks !

BRADSHAW IS A BLUEBIRD
