Gone to Saudi



Updated



We are signing the Congolese player Muleka from Besiktas ?

Strong Rumour that is .


I understand that we are in for him but have competition from Saudi Arabia and Europe . Apparently his strengths are off the ball movement and pace .

Don't know anything about him really, but young and has a good scoring record.

If he has pace like you say then we could be onto a winner here if it comes off.

If it comes down to wages, we obviously can’t compete with Saudi.

But hopefully he decides we are the better option for him, other than the finances.

Hardly call 1 goal every 5 games a good scoring record for a striker

So his entire record is based on Besiktas?

57 in 85
9 in 38
12 in 14
9 in 60.

So yeah, I would say pretty decent record.

Ned if it was about wages this would been a non story coming to us..

Re: We are signing the Congolese

Good record better than 1 in 3 if you look at minutes played per goal.

That’s the important stat I reckon.
Looks pretty handy in the air too.

I'll reserve judgement given our track record with strikers. 1 good 6 month loan spell during his 4 years in Europe.

Even Isaak Davies managed a better goals to games ratio in the Belgian pro league

Could write an infinite list of Cardiff 'Strikers' he can't be worse than

But ye, how Etete ever got a professional contract at any level is beyond me

So in summary the thread title is yet more click bait and it’s not a definite deal.

Goals per game is poor because he's been a sub a lot of the time

Look at Transfermarkt and calculate the goals per minutes played. It is much better than 1 in 3

Re: We are signing the Congolese

Mon Aug 19, 2024 9:07 pm

Like the look of this player knows how to score just what we need

It’s not clickbait. The title heading is more or less the same as the first sentence in the post.

Muleka left out of squad -

Cardiff target Jackson Muleka was left out of Besiktas' squad in their 4-2 win over Antalyaspor last night owing to the ongoing speculation surrounding his future.

Cardiff are working hard to get a striker in as soon as possible following long-term injuries to both Isaak Davies and Kion Etete and have placed Congolese forward Muleka on their shortlist.

However, he has a number of admirers and Cardiff will have to outmuscle clubs from Russia, Saudi Arabia and Europe if they are to win the race for his signature. Indeed, reports in Turkey today claim Saudi club Al-Kholood have tabled a concrete offer, which is yet to be accepted, with the player's future set to be decided this week.

The Bluebirds are desperate to add a striker before the end of the transfer window and preferably this week ahead of Sunday's crunch South Wales derby clash. They are yet to score a league goal in their first two outings and that Swansea game now has added pressure placed upon it for Erol Bulut and Co.

Cardiff want more firepower and are scouring the market on the continent, with Muleka understood to be just one of the names on their radar.

He is still at Beşiktaş at the time of this post - Personally not saying he is coming here - but a few clubs looking at him .

Yeah, seems solid enough.

Always doubt we’ll get a player when Saudi clubs also want them.
