Problem is we don’t need better than Sawyers or Adams we need better than Siopis, Ralls and Wintle to improve our team

I very much doubt at 33 he is even as good as those three

Exactly, go back a few years and Rambo was at Arsenal or Juve, far too good for us but father time is a bitch.

The end of the season with an option would be a fair shout as we need to get Bulut's style enacted because only Siopis is his man in that midfield. But we still need a 9 and a left back first IMO

I'd be gobsmacked if many/any knew who he was before today.

An unkown.

Can go either way. Lets just see what happens.

I do agree with the holding midfield concerns. Its probably our position with most depth currently.

If we sign him I can see Wintle leaving.

Pure guesswork but the only sellable player as we'll have to settle with Sawyers, probably need to drop Rimonhota and Adams a bit of a sweetener to leave, so that only leaves WIntle as someone who could raise a fee and get the wages he'd want to leave.

As i said just pure guesswork

WORCESTER
You have it back to front you say fans where exited to have a 31 year old moore but critise a 33 year old
I have been only one of a few that wanted moore a 31 year old the usual where saying he was to old
but those usuals are quite now we have signed a 33 year old why are they not complaning about age now?
More shocking is this a bulut signing or a dalhman tan deal.

Our new chief scout has spent a lot of time in Greece. I assume its his file. So was the chief scout a club or Bulut/club choice?

Playing in Turkey so got to be a Bulut

As long as he does the simple stuff right, he might be the perfect foil to help Siopis.

Big IF but, IF he can do this, it might just let the shackles off Rubin and Rambo.

Lots of people have said they want KM at any price, not just you.

I haven't said anything about this guy because I know nothing about him whereas I've seen the way KM behaves when he doesn't get his way. Neither would have any sell on value so the cheaper the better if we do get either, no more than 1 mill for Moore & even less for this guy.

Sorry I took the afternoon off to watch some nfl monty, had I known you would miss me that much I would have said something just for you but there we go. :old:

Re: Updated: " Badou Ndiaye "

Mon Jan 29, 2024 4:05 pm

You would not get keiffer for 1 million behave yourself why does there have to be a sell on value we would possibly keep for 3 seasons that would be a return in my book
we have no need to sell on as soon as we have a player. This other guy has to be better than siopis wintle ralls otherwise whats the point we already have others which have not been moved on sawyers adams rinomhata we would just be adding to the same position.

Adana Demirspor have confirmed Cardiff City target Badou Ndiaye has been released with immediate effect.

Reports in Turkey suggest that while other SuperLig sides including Pendikspor and Samsunspor were interested in Ndiaye, he is now set for a return to the Championship having previously spent two years at Stoke City.

Bluebirds manager Erol Bulut has been keen to revamp City's midfield since he arrived in the Welsh capital last summer, but has managed to add only Manolis Siopis in that department so far.

You have a point, because Siopis and Goutas were awful signings obviously.

Goutas and Siopis have been fine. They started well but the whole team has been bad the past few games. Obviously tiredness is kicking in with little depth to rotate and keep legs fresh over Christmas period.

Re: Updated: " Badou Ndiaye "

Mon Jan 29, 2024 6:48 pm

What type of player is he?

We need someone who can travel with the ball. Ralls used to pre Warnock but that stopped, maybe injuries or maybe Warnocks zero tossing around in the middle philosophy. Wintle is a continuity passer and Siopsis is a "ratter" (old term) and steals balls.

He better not be Colwills repalcement !!!!

He’s a central midfielder who sits when needed but can play passes to attacking players. Will also chip in with the odd goal.

I get the feeling he will play next to Siopis .

Ralls can’t be relied on due to in juries and the others aren’t good enough.

Well as there have only been three games during the entire month of January (and most of the first choice team including Goutas and Siopis didn't play in one of those games) if they were tired before they must be completely refreshed by now.

So let's not hear the "they're tired" excuse for the rest of the season shall we?

Siopis didn't play for Greece in the last round of games, there was talk that he was injured, I think he's been carrying some sort of knock or minor injury as he hasn't been the same since then.

Off to Pendikspor now, according to Twitter… can’t say I’m too disappointed.
