Collins and Adams like new signings??
Jamilu Collins will be 29 years old when the new season starts:
Never played Championship football before he signed for Cardiff City but in the 4 games he did, Collins looked good.
We saw way too little of left-back Jamilu Collins before his season was cruelly ended by a knee injury in August.
Clearly three and a bit games is too early to judge. But in those matches, Norwich, Reading, Birmingham and West Brom, Cardiff kept three clean sheets and the Nigerian international looked a class act.
Defensively and offensively. Pace to burn, swashbuckling going forward, tough in the tackle.
There wasn't too much not to like about him, even if Morison's assertion that Collins was the best left-back in the league might have been a teeny bit over the top.
His return after a year out will be like a new signing for Cardiff City.
Ebou Adams aged 28 never playes in the Championship or League 1 before:
Adams hasn't even kicked a ball for the club after a horror injury of his own.
Look, the jury has to be out on a midfielder Adams as not Championship tested, who in his 28th year has never played above League Two level and has Forest Green, Leyton Orient, Shrewsbury, Ebbsfleet and Braintree as the clubs he has played for on his CV.
But Lamouchi knows Cardiff's engine room needs to be looked at. One way or the other, the Bluebirds have to bring in a couple of class acts who can help dominate games, get the side on the front foot, create, score and run beyond the front man to stretch defences.
Adams hopefully can supplement that mix.

Well Ebou Adams is a new signing for starters.
He hasn’t played for us yet.

Do a shot whenever you read "like new signings" over the summer for these two...

This assumes they won't be sold over the summer.
