EROL BULUT BELIEVES & INSISTS CARDIFF NEED

Erol Bulut:

After the last 2 games

Still insists up to 10 new players are needed if Cardiff at to achieve anything this season and then said this team needs quality players.

Ramsey also mentioned.


City have signed a new striker and and Dimitrios Goutas is set to be number two. It is understood Goutas underwent his medical on Tuesday afternoon, with some paperwork still outstanding before he officially becomes a Bluebird.

“There is still a lot of work to do and strengthening, ten players are needed.”

“With Goutas, I think there is small paperwork still open. I hope after tomorrow it will be done," Bulut said. "We will then have completed two transfers but we need more.

"He is quite good in defence. He is organised, good on the ball. He is good in the air. He has scored a lot of goals from set pieces. That is also important for us. We are training on set pieces, so we need these kinds of players. When the game is tired and you can't create chances, you have to do it from set pieces."

This Forum reported that the club had held talks with Aaron Ramsey over a potential homecoming this summer. However, Bulut played that with a straight bat.

"You know more things than me!" he replied. "I don't know about that. Of course, we need quality players in the team, players who are free in the market. So I hope in the following days, we can do it quickly.”

I like that he's being honest.

Agree, we need about ten new players. 5-6 regular starters and a few players for the squad.

We all know he wants to bring quality in but I'll be surprised if he manages to get 10. I think he'll have to ship out a similar number.

10 is the magic number

Now he's got his feet under the table and had a good look at the players in training, I'm hopeful he'll be able to sort out the wheat from the chaff and be supported by the board in recruiting quality replacements. As I've said on here before, being a newcomer to the UK, he's highly unlikely to be sniffing around Divisions 1 and 2 in this respect. That has to be a good thing. I would imagine he'll get about half a dozen new players in by the start of the season.

See what you did there lol.

I am glad we now have a full pre-season fixture list, i have heard so many times that players like 0jo and Sawyers are amazing in training, but then we have to watch them be totally un committed and lethargic in games.
I hope the manager gets a good feel for who has the commitment and heart on the pitch when we face Fulham, Porto and Braga.
