Erol Bulut : “ We want him “

Fri Jan 05, 2024 10:55 am

Erol Bulut:

“Kieffer suits the position I want and we want him.”

"If we can get Kieffer, we would not leave him on the bench. We would use him. That’s why I want him! Kieffer Moore, if it is possible to get him, he is not playing in his team, but in the national team he played well, like against Croatia, if this is possible we will have a quality, very good player up front."

When asked if Cardiff would look to loan or sign Moore permanently, Bulut added: "I don't know if we can pay or not. So this is for the board. I think now since the ban is lifted, it will be easier because the penalty, we don't have it any more like at the start of the season."

Make no mistake Kieffer Moore wants to come to Cardiff, but that will be down to the finances Bulut is given.


In December, after Moore scored against Crystal Palace, Bulut laughed as he said: "I didn’t like it! I was following the game. He is a good striker. We will try everything possible for January."

Of course, Cardiff would be foolish to lump all their eggs into just one basket.


On Monday, the day the transfer window opened, Bulut said he and the board would have to draw up a list in case their bid to land Moore somehow falls by the wayside.

Asked about Moore, the manager said: "You can ask for players, but it's important to consider the opponent team, when they want to let him go - maybe they need also a transfer so they will wait and at the end (something might happen). It's all the small details. We also have to look at more than one player. Two, three or four strikers. We have to make all the plans, we cannot focus on only one player. If it doesn't happen, you don't have a player!

It will depend on Bournemouth getting a replacement first.

They are also very close to the FFP limits, so finances could be a problem for them.

Moore, who has 12 international goals in 39 caps for Wales, could be in line for a rare start this weekend as Bournemouth face QPR in the FA Cup third round.

Moore's former club, Cardiff City, have already expressed their interest in re-signing the Wales international, with Bluebirds boss Erol Bulut saying in November they "are working hard on it".

Iraola said the target man had been close to an exit last summer, and would not rule out a move away from the Vitality Stadium for Moore during this transfer window.

"He was close in the summer market to leaving the club, but every party decided he stayed with us," said Iraola.

"He has been helping the team a lot, but not probably playing as many minutes as he wants.

"Dom (Solanke) has been really performing at a good level and it is difficult to take him out of the game when we are playing with just one forward.

"It will be something that he (Moore) will have a lot to say about this, for me it's the most important part to listen to the players.

"Some players will prefer to stay and improve their roles, others will prefer to leave for different places where they can probably play more.

"If that's the player's opinion, the clubs start to negotiate and make the numbers work."

Some of you have totally unrealistic expectations of KM even if he does join us. How many crosses have our team put in for our current strikers per game not including corners? I can wait, shouldn't take you long.

So both Kieffer Moore and David Brooks both playing for Bournemouth today, against QPR, and 2-0 down at half time.

Our fans have unrealistic expectations full stop.

Some seem to have expected us to sign Moore, Brooks, Bale, Charles and Rush by now.

What part of what he said is incorrect? The half time part or the 2-0 part?

People are only watching to see how KM is doing & no other reason.
