Mehmet Dalman details Cardiff striker targets:
Tuesday 2nd August 2022
Cardiff City chairman Mehmet Dalman has revealed the club want one "long-term" permanent striker to come in as well as another more experienced forward player with experience of the league.
For seven months Steve Morison has been searching for new strikers since Kieffer Moore left the Bluebirds for over £4mill, Morisons budget could be the problem.
Dalman said on a podcast last week that Cardiff were in conversations with striker targets and hoped to "get them over the line soon". However the Bluebirds don't appear imminently close to signing a frontman as things stand.
Dalman has said the club has offers out there and their ideal scenario would be to sign one and loan one, however he caveated that by saying he would not promise two strikers would come through the door and added there were very few quality strikers available.
"At this moment there are very few quality strikers out there."
"As Steve Morison has said, we have a couple of offers out there. It's obvious that we need a couple of strikers."
"It's a little bit out of our hands. We have made our offers but we are waiting for reaction to those offers. But we are not panicking about it, although it is getting quite tight."
"I wouldn't be surprised if you saw a couple more additions. But I would had to promise that, because it really is out of our hands. And there aren't that many strikers available. We get recommendations, but you want the right ones."
When asked on whether the signings would be purchases or loans, Dalman, who said last week they could pay a fee for the right target in the coming, replied:
"I'd like to think it will be a mixture and that's what we are looking at, at the moment."
"One we would like to bring in as a long-term recruitment and we would like to bring in someone on loan, preferably someone who has got the experience of the league and has the ability to find his way to the goal posts."
