You are absolutely right but opportunities like this don't come around very often.
A top Premiership player wanting to drop down a divsion to play for his hometown club is something that may never happen to us again.
I think we would be mad not to sign him if it is in any way possible and then work through the problems after that. As for the other players, they will be well aware that Cardiff getting promoted could be their best chance of Premiership footbal so I'm sure they would put up with missing a few games along the way.
Whitts and Chops both looked for assurances that club was going forward, that couldn't be demonstrated any better by signing Bellamy, Olafanjano and Koumas
