" UPDATED " : FABIO DA SILVA CLOSING IN ON BORO MOVE

Good move all round hopefully we will get that striker now?

I'm sure Tan is looking through his other teams for free transfer options while he pockets the transfer fee.

tell me about it what a c**t.

Guys I'm not a Tan fan but for someone who just settled our 180m debt we can't really acuse him of lining his pockets with a poxy 2m transfer lol

i respect that nubbs but all that seems to be going on is trying/selling our best players and bringing in mediocre replacements.i get the cost cutting but cmon were going from a top championship side to a mid table one at a rapid pace

I agree, the cost cutting is going as far as not offering new contracts to our best players and selling them off not just stripping our no contributing assets i.e Macheda etc etc.

get the money and buy a top striker

For 2m you wouldn't the skin off a top striker's shite.

We couldnt even hire someone to tie their bootlaces!

I know you're not really interested in the "good" of Cardiff City FC as a whole, fella, but have you stopped to think whether Tan is actually learning from his mistakes and trying to pt the club in a position where it/he is no longer in debt and can then action a plan to take us forward again??

As 'nubbsy' rightly says, he has (to date) repaid an awful of historic debt (i.e. that which was here before he arrived) and also much of that which he helped build after his involvement

Tan is obviously not a stupid man (maybe 'football' naive) and it is in his own interests to see Cardiff City FC as a solvent, progressive club before he moves us on to the next temporary custodian

Slate him over his handling of the red and some other things, but have a little think about some of the good he has actually achieved with little or no credit because he obviously does care to a large extent

As for Fabio (the actual subject of the thread ) I am disappointed to see him go and think he was well suited to the style of play under Paul Trollope. However, given another chance at the Premier League and seeing as how we will get (a) a good fee for him, and (b) a fair bit off the wage bill, I fully understand both sides position and I wish him all the very best when/if it is completed

im not a regular tan slater quite the opposite in fact but can you see my point with selling our best and buying mediocre? That's the point I was trying to make in my opinion the cost cutting has gone to far

Your right! If we carry on like this we are going to be the Championships answer to our 6 fingered friends down the road!

Totally agree. No cover at all at wing back. We can't just rely on youngsters like Tutonda to step up. It signals a huge lack of ambition to everyone.

It was on the cards sadly, he was going to leave . Big chance and playing in premier league has twisted his head. Good luck to him.

Bit annoying that we dont have cover now but fabio is rubbish so if we are getting 2.5m is great
