Paul Abbandonato wow very interesting

I'm told Illic was never on for Cardiff City, but that they're trying to finalise a deal for an international striker from one of Europe's top leagues. No, soz I can't give name at this stage. B'mouth still playing hardball on Kieffer. Turnbull talks go on, watch for a winger too

We will sign a striker. I think we have three or four options.

I’m not posting it in it’s own topic because can’t be certain how reliable the source is, but I was told this morning that the deal for Turnbull has been agreed by the club and he’s already in Cardiff.


Phillips and Bulut both sounded like they knew a few more would be coming in.

Going to be a very interesting 36 hours or so.

Why do people think that everything he hears ( wow cool journo) is gospel. More folk have said we were on for the Serb than not.

It could be the club have given him this info and PA was told by ccfc that they were never in for him. Sounds better than we were beaten to him.

I prefer the notion we were beaten to him as this shows we are trying and not like other posts that say we were never in for him and aren't prepared to spend.

I would say Paul's sources are better than most but its always guesswork. Personally, I was surprised by the link with Ilic. Hes young and completely untested in a higher league. We've been here before with Corneilus and Watters. It would have been a punt. Perhaps the club are learning lessons.

Abbandallhope doesn't get many scoops or even in depth exclusives considering he's a dedicated City hack but I await his ITK breaking announcements with bated breath.

Which reminds me, has Scott Johnson tweeted 'It's Happening' again yet?

True, I’d say the lesson is you have a proven player in place already and you can still sign a player like this in case it pays of big time.
