DO we have enough?

Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:07 pm

Are you happy with the transfer dealings from us this window?

Which Championship team has used this window wisely and will any teams emerge out of nowhere?


I think Blackburn will be in the play-offs :ayatollah:

I'm happy with ours. I hope MM goes for Brayford in the summer.

Not a lot on offer and January is a tough window to bring in players.

Lappin was a great deal for the club in all honesty.

Teams who will emerge? I don't have a clue! :ayatollah:

Palace seem to have done ok, Wood for Leicester should be good. Will have to see what Hull do in the loan window.

We have probably the most complete squad in Cardiff's history. Zero loans. Three keepers, 4 fullbacks, 3 CB's, 5 Wingers, 4/5 CM's (if you count Ralls), 5 forwards.

We have real quality and depth. If a good solid target man comes in in the loan window great. But if not I still think we have enough.

Hull seemed to be busy!! Extended elmohamedy, 2 other players I can't even pronounce!! So they seem to be up for it!! I think we have enough but I do hope we bring in a loan or 2!! I'm starting to get nervous with leicesters performance!! We need a win tomorrow to keep the pressure on the chasing pack especially Leicester! :ayatollah:

Very happy with our business. Campbell is very capable and he can perform at the highest level. Lappin is not a full back first but he does work and credit to him as long as he works and keeps it fairly solid when Taylor is out, I'm happy. No disrespect to Lappin but he got no chance of getting into our midfield.

We got plenty of options in midfield and attack and with Declan John, Nugent and Coulson all coming through. We have plenty of cover and these three will push for a place in the starting 11 next season. All really good players and I'm genuinely excited about having Declan John and Luke Coulson at full back, in the future.

I said this when they bought him but Leicester have got the best signing of the whole transfer window by any club in this league by signing Chris Wood. I am surprised West Brom even let him go. He has a massive future and just because of that signing Leicester will finish second, behind us if they keep the goals out at the other end because Wood guarantees you goals. He will finish as top scorer this season imo.

Final league position:

1) Cardiff
2) Leicester
3) Watford
4) Crystal Palace
5) Brighton
6) Hull

I still think we lack a goalscorer but I haven't given Campbell a chance, maybe we'll overhaul our tactics or keep the same and they'll still work but I'm happy with our team, we may not have a team with quality players but we have a good work ethic team which has got us this far, the competition for places is very hard for players and I praise Malky for keeping most of the players happy.

I think Leicester had a good buy in Chris Wood, Hull still need a proven goalscorer, Palace panic loaned and got Phillips. Brighton have a good defence now and I think Ulloa could be a good player for them, wouldn't be surprised if Brighton were in the play-offs either.

Blackburn won't be seen anywhere near the play-offs, mid table at best

DJ Campbell and Jerome Thomas' moves didn't get completed in time, may take that back now on Blackburn!

Upson to Brighton was a great piece of business!

Agreed. They got a pretty tight defence and CMS seems to be banging them in for Brighton this season. I can see them finishing in the play offs!

This month February will be the telling factor if we have enough.

We really have only brought one player in but what an important bring in it is. It is something we have been missing all season, a striker, and if it hits the ground running we will have done enough.

I think so, the biggest thing missing was a proper striker i.e. Nicky

Someone who plays in the middle and has pace, who knows how to play the middle. Those strikers make chances for others and pull defenders around which we have been lacking.

We are blessed with wide-men with pace, we just needed someone in the middle. We have some gifted passers, a Helg can flick on some headers now we have someone to run on to them.

I think we will win 10 games atleast.

I'm not saying Campbell will score 35 goals, but him just playing is going to just make space for others. I think hes going to get 12 goals

Were OK I think,if Maynard wasn't crocked I don't think we'd have done any major business.

i'm more than happy with the team that we have at the moment. It must be giving malky a right headache choosing the starting line up :malky:
