Norwich legend tells Canaries to beware 'rapid' Cardiff

Norwich City legend and former Wales international Iwan Roberts has told the struggling Canaries to beware "rapid" Cardiff City.

The Bluebirds are seventh in the league and have enjoyed a positive start to the campaign. And Roberts, who played for the East Anglian team between 1997 and 2004, believes much of it can be put down to Cardiff's smart recruitment this summer.


“His recruitment has been spot on and they have not spent a penny because they had a transfer embargo, which meant he had to go out and get free transfers and players in on loan,” Roberts wrote in his Eastern Daily Press column.

“They were the Championship’s second lowest scorers last season behind Wigan and seven of the 10 he brought in are all attack-minded players.

“Obviously he brought Ramsey in, but he’s been out for a while now with a knee injury. They are a team with pace. He likes them to play the counter attack, but they like to keep possession as well. They’re rapid.”

Can’t remember he last time a Cardiff team has been described as rapid
