Capaldi will probably be one, followed by Feeney and Taiwo. We must bolster the midfield and get cover for Jay. Come to think of it the defence hasn't exactly covered itself in glory lately. All boils down to money, which we don't have at the moment! We have certainly missed Stephen McPhail, more than I thought we would. Fair do's, he had upped his game. Come back soon mate.

I dont think Feeney has been given a chance.
Tue Nov 24, 2009 7:06 pm
gota go are commingues.capaldi,taiwo,feeney,
and sell one from 3 to survive mathews mccormack or ledley
I would sell ledley if we can get a couple of mill for him.
in 1 big striker
2 midfielders
1 central defender
Tue Nov 24, 2009 7:17 pm
Taiwo, Comminges, Scimeca, Quinn, Hudson, Gerrard, Capaldi, Magennis,
We need 2 new centre backs
Mon Dec 21, 2009 9:08 pm
Commingues, Taiwo, Capaldi that is it.
Everyone else is good enough to atleast be in the squad.
Mon Dec 21, 2009 9:11 pm
I am Totally Biased, Feeney should be given a chance if any injuries occur. 6 starts in 3 years from DJ not fair.

i agree he has bollocked goals in everywhere he has played, he needs a chance to prove himself

probably right but part of the blame lies with the crowd who got on his back, very hard for him though with chops and ross so cant see him forcing his way in, although he comes accross as the kind of person who will just keep going regardless and you never know injury / suspension and I am sure he would relish the chance
Mon Dec 21, 2009 9:20 pm
Commingues, Taiwo, Capaldi most definitely. Feeney Im not sure about and to be honest I think he is one of them unfortunate players who's face dont fit, he really hasnt had enough chance to prove himself. I would bring in another striker, 2 central midfielders and 2 centre backs, it wont happen but its what we need to progress as we certainly aint strong enough as a squad.

Have you been asleep for the last few weeks. We've just won three in a row thanks to 3 clean sheets, first time its happened since 19somethinglongago
Hopefully the players on loans will get permenant deals ou of here, with the excpetion of Blake who may have to come back if we dont get anyone in.
Commingues can go too and possible a loan for Taiwo (just in case he has got something), but that should be about it in terms of players going out unless we get big offers like £5m for Matthews. Otherwise we will be weakening and thinning out an already weak squad. We've only got a few weeks to pay with and we've been doing well, its certainly not a time for major surgery. Just move out a few off the payroll wh havent been contributing and bring in 3-4 more. 2 of these we've neede since last season. A big striker as cover for Bothroyd and a quality central midfielder. It looks like we'll also need another CM now as well with Scimeca gone, and a replacement for whoever gets sold (if this happens).

Why did Jones buy him?, I agree that he's never been given a chance, Chopra hasn't scored for months yet gets picked week in week out, Jones must have seen something to buy him yet he left him out to rot from almost day 1.

He did the job for the Jacks, Dundee, Luton, Bournemouth and is Superb for Northern Ireland, but Warren can be a bit out spoken and DJ does not like that lol.

Agree - they have all stepped up their games and help produce 3 clean sheets? (or was it 2) anyway, they were up for a bit of stick recently and proved alot of doubters wrong lately with some "dig-deep" performances.
I think getting rid of Quinn, Hudson & Gerrard as quoted above is a pathetic argument! I would agree with capaldi, Magennis, Taiwo, (scimeca's retired & Comminges has long term injury) Although i would still give Feeney and Darcy Blake a few more chances - I still believe they could both do a job for us given the right opportunity!
Personally, if we are looking for promotion, i don't think we should get rid of Ledley or McCormack, I'd rather let Matthews go to be honest if we had to sell an extra player.
But remember - to get rid of them - Another party has to be interested first!

Sorry Annis but Feeney wasn't good enough when he was on loan in the first placein my opinion.
Sure, he's alright for back up but I'd rather see him play all the time at another club and we sign a midfielder than he's stuck on our bench twiddling his thumbs. No professional footballer deserves the latter.
But of course, while he's still at the club Feeney should come in if our players get injured, rather than signing another striker on loan straight away.
Tue Dec 22, 2009 2:33 pm
I agree Dave. I understand your sentiments Annis and agree he wasn't really given a chance but for a team that has Premiership ambitions I think we need to set our sights higher than Warren Feeney. I've got a lot of time for the guy because he battles but let's aim for the heights we need to go for.
I would definitely consider letting Comminges, Taiwo, Feeney, Blake and Capaldi go. As someone said earlier, I would also let one of McCormack, Ledley and Matthews go. Provided the minimum bids were £3m, £2m and £5m respectively.
Tue Dec 22, 2009 2:48 pm
I hate to say it but I am worried about a few of our better players leaving. I wouldn't be surprised if Chopra went back to Newcastle after all he still has a house up there. Burke would be a possibility to go back to Scotland due to his present personal circumstances. The old Liverpool legend Tommy Smith (he's a very influential guy up there) has been bigging up Gerrard in the local press and thinks the Scousers should go for him. Then there's all the rumours about Matthews going to the Mancs. Theres been talk all year of Ledley leaving but his injury may prevent that but whatever happens with him is no good to us. Jonesy doesn't seem to be giving McCormack much of a chance this season so wouldn't be surprised to see him move on and likewise with Gyepes. I'm not saying they will all leave but don't be surprised if we lose some of the above players and keep the likes of Commingues, Capaldi, Maggennis and Feeney. Nothing surprises me anymore at our club.

I don't know. I think Newcastle are happy with their Harewood/ Ameobi partnership with Ranger and Carroll as back up. They wouldn't fancy spending £5m plus on Chopra (which is what he'll cost) when he's not proven in the Premiership and they need to strengthen in midfield.
Burke will stay. He would have left by now or at least shown signs of unhappiness if his circumstances were affecting him that badly. Either no-one wants him in Scotland or they can't afford him.
I can actually see Matthews and McCormack leaving though. Matthews because the money will be too good and McCormack because he's not getting enough first team football and it seems his general attitude isn't impressing Jones.

You may be right but Harewood is only on loan to Newcastle and not sure when his loan period ends. Carroll is a bit of a hot property and is wanted by a few premier League clubs especially Stoke. Don't get me wrong I hope we can keep them all, get rid of some dead wood and bring in some fresh blood ourselves but this is Cardiff City Football Club and nothing is ever as straightforward as we would like and people at the top tend to speak with fork tongue
Tue Dec 22, 2009 3:26 pm
Yeah, that's a good shout actually about Harewood and Carroll. I hope they don't go for Chopra because as much as the fans love Chopra he only sees us as a business stop and there's no actual emotional connection with us so he'd leave at the first chance.

Yep he's a 100% geordie and I read a few weeks ago that Beardsley thinks they should go for him He rates him very highly especially as he was under his wing as a youngster. Let's say Newcastle came in for him at £4 million I think we would bite their hands off.
Aye and Harewood is back off to the Villa after Boxing Day. see here :-
http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/new ... -25439804/ and Pulis is ready to offer £5 million for Carroll see here:-
http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/St ... 63731.html as a replacement for Beattie. I wouldn't be surprised if Beattie comes here for a cut price maybe in a liitle deal involving Ledley who Pulis is very keen on.
