Tuesday 30th May 2017

The Bluebirds in double transfer swoop…


Cardiff City FC has agreed to sign goalkeeper Neil Etheridge and winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, subject to completion of paperwork and international clearance.

Both Etheridge and Mendez-Laing will officially join up with the Bluebirds from 1st July 2017, following the expiration of their respective contracts at Walsall and Rochdale.

Etheridge, who has made over fifty international appearances for the Philippines, began his career with the Chelsea academy, before going on to play for the likes of Fulham, Bristol Rovers, Oldham Athletic and Charlton Athletic.

“We haven’t had a big goalkeeper, and this lad is 6”2,” Neil Warnock said. “He’s always come out on top when we’re talking about goalkeepers and we’re delighted that he’s agreed to sign from 1st July.

“He’s looking forward to the challenge ahead and trying to establish himself as the number one ‘keeper. He’s at a very good age and will be a very good addition to the squad.”

After starting out his career with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Mendez-Laing enjoyed loan spells at Peterborough United and Sheffield United, before later joining the Posh on a permanent basis. He has since made over seventy appearances for League One side, Rochdale.

“I’ve watched him this season in particular and you get hunches about players, as a manager,” added Warnock. “I just feel that he can contribute a lot to us next season.

“I think he’ll be a very good squad player and it’s up to him to get into the first-team and make the position his own. He’s only a young lad still, but he’s got explosive pace and a lot to prove and I think it’s the right place for him. I think the fans will enjoy watching him.”

Warnock concluded: "We've been working hard since the season ended and we're hoping to continue with further exciting announcements in the coming months."

Two decent signings who shouldn't be too expensive. Let's hope they can make the step up from League 1.

Good signings welcome to the club I like the look of Mendez Liang. :ayatollah: :bluebird:

And also if we keep Harris and Hoilett and give Kennedy a chance that's a shitload of pace to work with. :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Etheridge seems like a Tan signing? With 55 caps for the Philippines who have a population of over 100 million i'm sure he'l try and sell some shirts out there. :ayatollah:

Great that we identified a keeper we wanted and got them on a free, lot of positive words from Walsall. Didn't Warnock saying he was running this alongside the goalkeeper coach.

Both on a free so not much pressure just need to show us why Warnock brought you here. :ayatollah:
I will.
And before anyone els gets in there no im not an ideot abroad

Still they cause problems and Hoilett didn't have a pre season and Harris is young and still learning the trade and I think he will get better he showed glimpses this season. :ayatollah:

Etheridge is a top quality keeper and I'm very happy with him being our number one next year. Havent seen the other lad play but definitely needed more options out wide and trust Warnock more than any other manager we have had in my lifetime in terms of being able to spot talent in players. :ayatollah:

Warnock said Mendez - Lang will make a good squad player so I can only assume he's one of these signings he was talking about at the end of the season.

Looks exciting so let's hope he can make the step up. :bluebird:

Two interesting signings...don't know much about either of them but Mendez Liang was man of the match virtually every game for Rochdale last season and was in the Division 1 team of the week on quite a few occasions last season as well...he's obviously no mug and apparently one of the quickest players around.

Good luck to them both welcome to the City :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Hope we are not going to go over the top again. As someone has said, they look "interesting" signings, but so did Doyle. At least these have been signed by a manager I have faith in, unlike Doyle and later on Lambert.

Never thought of it like that I think you could be right regarding Etheridge, he has been bombed out be previous clubs and found himself in the lower leagues. It could be a Tan buy to sell some shirts in the Middle East, he will probably be our reserve keeper.

Like I said, total & utter bolocks. Read Warnocks comments, he's been tracking him for a while. I don't think for one second this is the case because Warnock wouldn't stand for it.

Just enjoy the signings instead of looking for conspiracy theories. :banghead:

Both could be good signings - the Rochdale forum gives their lad a good write up.
Didn't see much on the goalie Etheridge - but NW rates him and hes a good age(27) and size.
LETS GIVE BOTH A FAIR CHANCE TO ADJUST TO CCFC and hopefully get some confidence and impress.(remember some of the Zahore comments!).
