Erol Buluts : “ The Budget / The Play-offs “

Thu Jun 13, 2024 11:57 am

Erol Bulut:

"The first step has to be the signing of new players," Bulut said when asked how he would get the Bluebirds up towards the play-offs next term.

"Of course for this, budget is important. When we want to go to the next level, we have to focus on this and go in that direction. Not only me, everyone at the club.”

"I think I put a bit of the winning mentality into the club and into the team, because it was lost here for the last years.”

“I am expecting everyone to have that winning mentality. Not just the player on the field, the secretary here has to think like this. If we can manage to have that winning mentality then we are two steps ahead of some other clubs and towards the level where we want to be."

“I have been promised to be fully backed firvthis coming season.”

“There are areas of the squad which need real surgery.”

At the very top of Bulut's wish list is a goalscoring striker. That's been Cardiff's white whale for a number of seasons now, aside from Kieffer Moore and Sory Kaba providing some light relief in patches.

I feel the play offs is going to be a step too far this season.

Our best players (Arguably) last season, Phillips and Grant have both gone back to their parent clubs, along with Bowler, leaving us short of quality on both wings.

Up front we have been lacklustre, and ideally need 2 strikers coming in.

For us to push for playoffs, in my mind we need:

2 wingers
2 strikers
A left back
A centre back

At the very MINIMUM - he says he will back Bulut - will he back him this much?

I'm not so sure.

For me we need

2 x CB
1 x LB
2 x wingers
3 x strikers
1 x CAM

That's 9 players to make us into a good squad.

Perhaps 4 x loan, as we have been doing, 3 quality free agents, and pay fees for 2.

With the loans I would always have an option to buy, otherwise every season we are rebuilding.
