OFFICIAL: WARNOCK SIGNS THREE NEW PLAYERS

Thursday 27th June 2019


Will Vaulks, Curtis Nelson and Joe Day have all signed agreements to join up with Neil Warnock's first team squad ahead of the upcoming 2019/20 campaign.

Cardiff City FC Executive Director & CEO Ken Choo gave his thoughts on our three new signings, saying: “I’d like to welcome Will, Curtis and Joe to Cardiff City Football Club and I’m sure they’ll each contribute to what we’re trying to achieve this coming season.

"To be vying for promotion, we needed to ensure that we replaced those who left us at the end of last season with quality; we think we’ve done just that in adding these boys to our ranks.

"We’re delighted to have three new signings through the door before pre-season training begins and will be working hard over the coming weeks to ensure that more follow soon.”







Sky Sports

Cardiff City sign Will Vaulks from Rotherham United for a small fee.

Cardiff City have also announced the arrival goalkeeper Joe Day and central defender Curtis Nelson.

Day makes the short move from Newport County while Curtis Nelson joins following his contract expired at Oxford United.

All good signings in their own right.

Vaulks, probably the only starter. But the other 2 strengthen an already strong squad.

When Etheridge leaves, Day will be starting.

Newport County supporter here.
All the best to Joe Day. He had four and a half years with County.
Had an occasional mare of a game but is quality.
Hope he does the business for Cardiff.

Not sure front men are the gaffers priority Wez.Got a sneaking feeling hes gonna go with what he's got which is why I think we may see 1 or 2 more across midfield.

If that's the case, I'll be happy. It would be nice to get a striker in, but what we have is good enough for this league. Midfield until today was very weak. Still need another one or 2 there.

They are either expecting Etheridge to go or Smithies to go out on loan/sold.

I think Vaulks will give us something we have lacked in midfield for sometime now.

Nelson I think just makes sense, we needed someone younger to put in the mix in defence and sol out for a while and on a free.

Gets in key positions with little spent, now to bring in a striker, right back another midfield and of course a striker.

I’ve seen quite a lot of day for Newport as I pop over now and again. I rate him. Very good shot stopper. Not that great with the distribution, but as we know Warnock just wants the ball gone and doesn’t want his keepers playing out from the back so it’s a good signing I think

Re: OFFICIAL " CCFC THREE NEW SIGNINGS “

3 decent signings to bolster an already strong outfit.
I know NW said he wanted 6 to come in but knowing him it will be around 8.

Be interesting to see where the money is spent and on who. He will also bring in loan deals nearer the end of the window. :ayatollah:

Very happy with those. Only saw Day in the playoffs for Newport but thought he looked really good. I Assume that means either Ethridge I'd going or Emithies maybe on loan. Our youth team keeper is supposed to the the best youth team player too. Another one or two midfielders would be good.

Two are gambles
One looks very promising in Vaulks

All three are league one players or below at the moment.

We have just signed a player from
Newport, oxford and Rotherham

Not exactly the premier league quality we were looking for to boost us straight back up , I suppose you have to have faith in Warnocks judgement though

If Russel Slade or another manager had signed those three would the reaction be different ?

I see your point but tbf all 3 are possibly the top players st their clubs (as Etheridge and NML were ).
I hope we buy one or two quality proven performers but I’m more than happy to see players develop with us rather than journeymen coming for a retirement option.

Can see what your saying but if he can get us promoted again with this squad then a collection for a statue needs to be started.

Nice that we haven’t t spent a lot in these 3.

Seen fees ranging from £1.5m to £3.5m for Vaulks and the others are freed.

Might need to move a couple on to make room.

I guess Brian Murphy will be leaving unless one of Smithies or Etheridge goes.
There’s still been no announcement on whether he agreed a new contract or not, and Connolly is now 5th choice centre half.

We’ve also still got Madine and Bogle on the books.
Can’t keep both of these AND Ward, Zohore , Reid etc... especially if we want another striker in

The others are freed? I didn't realise they'd been locked up!

His ambition is to get us up at a reasonable cost ! Do that and will need new players for premier league is that a cost effective in long term probably not , so what happens after this season if he retires as expected? Club certainly wont have premier class team...

Vaulks should come in to start.

Warnock did the same last time with NML and Etheridge and I think they did OK.

I don't see the other two as much of a gamble really, I doubt any will be first choice unless they excel so win win, freshening up the squad to keep the rest on their toes while keeping fund for key areas.

Wouldn't say any different if Slade signed them although I think Warnocks record allows people to have more faith.

These signings are all good news and were known to be 'on the cards' a weekweek or so ago

According to the same (trusted) report, there is a striker to follow very shortly :thumbup: :ayatollah::bluescarf:

Any more details on proposed striker signing, Chris.

Let’s not write Tomlin off. He looks like he had done a lot of work so let’s see how his pre season goes too

Re: OFFICIAL " CCFC THREE NEW SIGNINGS “

Cracking start to the transfer market. Great value for money. I’d like another two CMs and possibly a striker as the next targets

Re: OFFICIAL " CCFC THREE NEW SIGNINGS “

I'm really looking forward to this season and I remember what I thought when we signed Mark Delaney from Carmarthen and look what a signing he turned out to be

On the Newport Forum they seem to think we offered Joe Day, 7k a week not sure where they got that from but surely not?

I've written him off.

Luckily I don't think Warnock will get sucked in my a few sit ups either and we won't waste time and get a replacement in who fits how we play
