“ Kieffer Moore asks to come back “

Tue Jul 25, 2023 10:46 am

Cardiff City are considering a loan swoop for Wales striker Kieffer Moore in what would be another major statement of intent from Wales' capital city club.


Kieffer Moore himself is said to be keen to come back to the spiritual home where he has proved such a major hit for club and country with his goal output. Moore and the City board have cleared up their differences and it’s been said that Moore has asked to come back.

The Bluebirds are ready to ask Bournemouth if they will consider letting Moore return to his former Cardiff City Stadium home where he became the first player from the club for more than a decade to hit 20 league goals in a season.

Things, it must be stressed, are at a very embryonic stage and everything hinges on what Premier League Bournemouth decide to do, Bournemouth want 50% of his wages paid, this could be Cardiff’s problem.

Bournemouth also might sell the striker and cash in.

More and the hierarchy have put their differences aside and Moore himself has asked if City would be interested.

However, a loan back to the Bluebirds for the season might be something that suits every party - including Moore himself who would relish the goal opportunities that Ramsey would be able to create for him and the service he would receive from Bulut's new wide players.

Even with limited supply during the 2020-21 campaign, Moore became the first Cardiff player since Peter Whittingham 11 years earlier to bag 20 league goals.

What a front 6 that would be: Odowa - Robinson - Grant - Ramsey - Moore - with Wintle sitting MC :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird:

I also think he could help bring on Etete who showed some promise towards the end of last season

Hes a proven championship striker will score a hatfull with our support players now . Need an attacking midfielder and another centre back and I think we will be up there this year .

Definitely welcome him back Annis, and the fact he wants to return is a good sign too.
Let's hope.

I would take him back 100%

Your right def a good sign :bluebird: :bluebird:

Re: “ Kieffer Moore asks to come back “

Tue Jul 25, 2023 11:14 am

Would score plenty of goals in this team.

He's clearly not wanted by the new Bournemouth manager and I don't think another Premier League team would sign him, but at Championship level he is a proven goalscorer.

I really hope we somehow get this deal done.

What an great summer of recruitment this would be if we pulled this off!

Yes agreed, he makes us ten times more attractive and players know he is good and will help them score goals and look a better player.

It doesn't surprise me that the vast majority of fans would like to see Kieffer Moore return to our club.
One or two people saying that 'he badly let us down' or 'I would never have him back etc'

They need to think again!

The way I see it, he has already proved he can score 20 goals a season in the Championship. (for Cardiff City) He is more than capable of doing this again, given the right supply line.
His next and final season with us was tarnished by injuries, the poor football we were playing along with a system that didn't suit him and finally, his pending on off transfer away from the club.
He doesn't have to be a fan of the club to play for us. let's be honest, most footballers play for the money and not for the love of the club!

If the chance comes, Cardiff, bring Kiefer Moore back! :bluescarf:

Re: “ Kieffer Moore asks to come back “

Tue Jul 25, 2023 12:53 pm

No brainer

The goals he will bring us will cost 5m and we can't spend a penny so get it done asap

Rewriting history here. He was in no way plagued by injury, supposedly getting covid 3 or 4 times in as many months isn't being plagued by injury, he was suddenly not sick or injured for the Wales games. The football we played was just as bad as the season before but the season he scored a hatful he chased everything and the season he didn't he had stopped trying to even run after the ball.

Why do we need to have a rethink? Because we don't agree with the majority doesn't mean we need to think again.

As with any Cardiff City player I would hope he does well for us and wish him the best and certainly wouldn't cheer if he got injured like someone did when Ralls went of injured but that doesn't mean I have to like the guy & change my opinion of him. All of this "the truth will come out when he has his say one day" is crap, there's 3 sides to every story & the truth will be somewhere in the middle but I'll go with what my eyes saw the last season he played for us, he let himself & the fans down in my eyes while in the process of downing tools to piss off the powers that be.

I will be a happy man if he comes & scores the 20 goals people seem to think he is guaranteed to score as it will mean Cardiff City are doing well and that is where my loyalty lies.

Re: “ Kieffer Moore asks to come back “

Tue Jul 25, 2023 3:07 pm

Front 4 of Moore, Grant, Robinson & Rambo would be as good as it gets in the championship....

Gives you all sorts of options and it would be horrible to play against. The space Grant and Moore would create for Rambo and Robinson and we'd still have good options on the bench.

Would be very excited if the club can pull this off!!!

Well said, if he comes back,tries and performs then it will obviously good for the club. But you want people that try harder when things get tough, not down tools. I understand why he was frustrated and if we tried to sell him behind his back then I get he'd be miffed. But you get paid to do a job, so many times I've felt injustices from managers I've had in my youth but you have to keep working. Sory kaba always had a smile on his face and was having fun, even when we weren't performing, even tho he's less polished than moore I'd take Kaba back over him. But that's not going to happen while under embargo, if moore comes, I hope he does well and helps the youth at the club. But ultimately I'm on the fence.

Yup, pretty much sums it up for me, too! :ayatollah:

Keiffer's principles will take another knock back but as ever, I will get behind the XI on the field and if he does well for us I'll applaud those upstairs who were brave enough to bury the (supposed) hatchet... :ayatollah:

Well if dalman gets him back it would be great.
Dalman seems to have the pation back .
He went MIA on us but now he seems to be doing a great job.
He he gets it down hats off to city fairplay they do seem to be given it a crack even with a transfer embargo .
Long may this continue.

Three good posts that I agree with.

The ‘fact’ is he wont be coming back, I’m pretty sure.

If I’m wrong I’ll hold my hand up!

He did come off the bench last night in the friendly against Southampton.

Re: “ Kieffer Moore asks to come back “

And Bournemouth played the same way as the first thalf, and there was no support for Moore at all.

Re: “ Kieffer Moore asks to come back “

Wed Jul 26, 2023 4:29 pm

I really don't think we will get him back at the moment. Bournemouth may let him go nearer the end of the window. However this puts us in a tricky situation, do we hang on and wait, or try and get someone else in?
