“ Transfer update “

Rob Phillips:


Search for player to lead the Cardiff City forward line nearly over. Kanga can play wide but will be used as much needed central striker. Still pursuing deal for Man City midfielder Alex Robertson despite competition. Ideally would like a winger, too.

Hopefully we'll still be looking for another striker as well as Kanga though with the way Bulut has been talking it seems like Isaak Davies is going to be our first choice forward this season.

Would like to see Etete go out on loan and perhaps an up and coming youngster from a Premier League team signed on loan.

If we are serious about top six finish we need a proven championship striker not sure Kanga is going to be the answer ?

The question was who that is available now.

OH FFS, he had 1, count em, 1 good season with us after we plucked him from obscurity before downing tools & sulking like a 6 year old. Thankfully he has stayed away from us ever since.

If he is available (is he?) most wouldn't want him anywhere near our club, just you, monty & maybe a couple of others.

Plucked him from obscurity?? He was leading goalscorer at Rotherham, Barnsley and Wigan and was already in the Welsh squad before joining us.. he then went on to score the goals that got Bournemouth and Ipswich promoted…he didn’t down tools that shite..and are you sure there is only a couple of fans who would want him back at the club??

Think your right! But wasn't worth the £4m+ price tag for 5mnths loan or subsequent fee for buying him now!...

Are we still on about KM?

The guy didn't want to know. He downed tools. Thought he was too good for us.

Ipswich I understand. This time was about money.

We need to move on. He has.

Sadly some of our fans have this weird obsession with him, no idea why.

Hull City have emerged as potential suitors in the race to land Manchester City midfielder Alex Robertson.

That is according to an update from BBC Sport Wales' football correspondent, Rob Phillips, who claims that the East Yorkshire outfit ihave joined divisional rivals Cardiff City and Portsmouth in the hunt for the Australia international.

The Tigers are thin on the ground across their squad at present, with it now being under two weeks until Tim Walter takes charge of his first competitive outing against Bristol City at the MKM Stadium.

Hull bid farewell to a number of stars and long-serving performers in the off-season, which included the likes of Greg Docherty, Tyler Morton, Fabio Carvalho and Ozan Tufan, as the majority were key presences in deeper or more advanced role under Walter's predecessor, Liam Rosenior.

Walter has been brutally honest in a recent assessment of the squad currently at his disposal, stating that the depth and quality among his new charges at present isn't sufficient to match the club's well-publicised aims under his management.

However, whilst a number of potential signings continue to be linked with a move, only two have officially been confirmed at present, in the form of Ryan Giles and Cody Drameh.

But, a move for the aforementioned Robertson would definitely give City fans plenty of reason for optimism.

Hull City enter the race to sign Alex Robertson -

Once again, the emergence of Hull in the transfer saga involving the Australian midfielder has come through BBC Sport Wales' football correspondent, Rob Phillips, in an update via his X profile on Monday afternoon.

This came in response to some questions concerning the state of play regarding transfers at City's divisional rivals Cardiff City, who also hold a strong interest in striking a deal for the 21-year-old.

It was revealed by WalesOnline that Robertson has been placed on a three-man shortlist by Erol Bulut, as the Turk looks to bolster the Bluebirds' options in the centre of the park.

It is reported that Cardiff are looking into the possibility of a permanent deal, although Manchester City are looking at extending Robertson's contract at the Etihad Stadium, which currently expires next June, therefore potentially making a loan move the more viable option.

Since KM left us, he's signed for clubs bigger than us or doing better. I don't blame him either. Different career with a few promotions over being a big fish in a mediocre phase for us.

He would have definitely been a moore (pun alert) off-the-shelf solution than someone who's equalled Isaak's return last season.

But he's gone. And I won't be surprised if we're linked with him for the next 6 windows...

Kanga has signed - But still no news on Robertson who seems to have a few teams interested in him signing .
