Looks like it


Cardiff City are poised to sign winger Josh Bowler on loan.

The Bluebirds have made five signings already this summer, prioritising the top end of the pitch, and Erol Bulut is about to make Bowler his sixth addition.

Good signing :thumbright:

Offers something different to what we have already.

I know a forest fan who said he went on loan to olympiacos and struggled but would be good in championship.

This is a surprise but a decent signing. As has been said, a different option.

Goes to show that when people say "nothing seems to be happening with transfers", Bulut is working on transfers - even when it's not in the public domain.

Superb signing, very quick, tricky and not scared to run at defenders

Exciting

We’ll have more wingers than Liverpool at this rate.

Great signing, Ollie Tanner is a similar player in the making.

Considering that he is a right winger he has one hell of a left foot on him :ayatollah:

We do suddenly have a lot of forwards!

I'd imagine Ojo, Tanner and Davies are to go out either on loan or permanent.

Seems similar to what we’ve been used to lately, got a lot but not much end product. 151 appearances and only 19 goals and 9 assists.

Here’s hoping he can find a groove with us

Another winger looks more and more likely O Dowda going to be used as a left back?

Haven't had that type of threat since Harry Wilson played for us.Offers us something different to what we've got now and he'll do for me.Not a touch line hugger but a lovely left peg.

Looks like it and I think it's the right decision.

O'Dowda and Collins will compete for the LB position.

Grant, Meite, Bowler and Robinson are all better wingers than O'Dowda. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Grant or Robinson are played as a striker until the new signing is made.

O'Dowda is decent as a winger and would have done well there last season. But the truth is we now have much better wingers.

COD may well find more space at LB so I’m not overly concerned atm.

The way the Gaffer seems to set up means O'Dowda will have a lot more licence to get forward and I think he'll do well enough which will allow Collins a softer return to full fitness after his injury.

Disagree as an out and out LEFT winger cod is the best we have.

The way we set up he could play LB or RW too.

Better used at LB.

Bowler has played well against us let's hope he show's the same form in a Blue shirt. Bulut seems to have a plan for COD. I for one am really looking forward to the season.
