If you could sign

Tue Jan 29, 2013 6:23 pm

If you could sign any player within a £7million budget for Cardiff, who would you sign? :ayatollah:

For me it'd have to be Gary Hooper.

Simon Lappin, tremendous on loan for us, wanted by loads of other clubs a real steady premiership player for Norwich. I doubt they'll want to let him go though.

The type of player that will excite fans and a superb addition to push us over the line, showing the massive ambition this club is breeding.

Time will tell.

I agree, he adds quality to the side and will make us a more dynamic force attacking and defending.

7 Million would get you

Ba , Sinclair , K Jones , Jerome , crouch , Berbatov ,borini . morrisson , holt ,zamora , le fondre , austin , rhodes , rodriguez , wickham , graham ,odemwingie , cole , and vaz te to name a few rather than a player who has no experiance of top flight football but scores a few on the scottish parks ? did nothing at southend slightly better at scunthorpe but then again that was about the same level as the spl in league 1 . Not a 7 mill player hes SOOOOO overated its unbelievable .

Ledley? Matthews? Conway? The SPL developed all of them.

Hooper is a class striker imo.

You can't say he's 'shite' until you see him play here in the champ/prem.

Which he did for scunthorpe where he scored over 20 goals for them. Hes good enough not sure if he's worth 7 mill mind same as other players at this level

I think I'd look for players like Campbell, who at 650k is a bargain.
I'd also try a 1m bid for Becchio

In our position I would keep the 7m to hopefully spend should we go up tho.
