Erol Bulut: “Striker Situation”

Erol Bulut:

“I am trying to bring in one more player before August 30th, hopefully a winger.”

On the striker search specifically, Bulut said: "It's not really easy to find the correct striker.”


"On strikers, really, we can say we have only Kanga and a little bit Robbo right now, which is a little bit poor, I think.”

"You can find (strikers), but the number also looks different that you have to spend money, so it looks easy, but it’s not.”

“We have got injuries with Kion, he is out for three months, and Isaak Davies had surgery, he is out for four months. I don't know if he can come back before January, I hope he can.”


"We have only Kanga in the Striker position, Robbo [Callum Robinson], we can also use Yakou Meite, but on the wing he is doing well. If (Anwar) El Ghazi gets really fit there is potential we can use him as a striker. But they are more wingers than strikers.

"So striker, really, we can say we have only Kanga and a little bit Robbo right now, which is a little bit poor, I think.

"You can find (strikers), but the number also looks different that you have to spend, so it looks easy."

When asked if he was waiting on Premier League clubs to make up their minds on whether to loan out strikers,


Erol Bulut said: "It's possible, yeah.


"It can be that we can take one for loan who is perfect for us that we can use and that he will give us what we are expecting."

Bulut is a f*cking idiot for not getting strikers in ffs we don't need wingers .

Wez,


Unbelievable, can’t believe I am agreeing with you.
He knew this over a year ago.

Wants top two but at worst top six and to me sounds like another striker isn't coming, I'm no psychic but if we don't land a half decent striker I'm certain there's no top 6, I'm unsure even with one we will get top 6

We can't go with kanga , etete and Davies ffs the man is a buffon unless he's just playing things down .

Wez,

That’s why with all these good players we won’t make Top 6 due to NO Striker, he really was depending on Isaak Davies lol
A player who has not proved himself in the Championship.

Just baffled by the logic!! Why are we going to sign another winger when we've currently got a winger playing fullback and look to be sending another winger out on loan.

Why are we selling our best CB to by 2 x CBs.

If MM was sold because we needed x amount to sign a top striker target I could at least understand the decision.

We have known we've needed a forward since Kieffer Moore left and still haven't addressed it.

I get they've been unlucky with Davies injury but please don't tell me all of our eggs are in Kanga's basket.

I'm in total disbelief our number 1 target wasn't a 9 and wasn't our first singing.

To then make comments like, to be left with Robbo and Kanga is poor hardly fills them with confidence when its the club fault we haven't fixed the issue.

No chance of top 6 without goals and if we are not getting another striker in,then we are doomed to mid table again.

We have signed a striker this window but it seems Kanga has been written off already? I find that strange really. I am not sure what the fanbase are expecting but to buy a proven striker at this level would possibly cost £5-10 million. I hope we can loan another striker as cover but equally I haven't given up on Kanga just yet.

We will get another striker in before the close of the window!!

If we don’t sign a natural striker we are doomed.

It’s been a priority since kieffer left and still nothing has been done.

Losing faith drastically I hope he proves me wrong but I really can’t see it.

FFS, he needs to stop buying wingers and defenders and get a striker - it ain't rocket science, strikers win you matches, not defences!

I'm flabbergasted that the only true 'striker' we have is this lad Kanga!

Stop wittering and faffing about - there has to be a striker out there who would come here and do a job for us. Football is a simple game, why do Cardiff make it so painful and complicated!

Given our need for a Striker I am confused why we allowed Muleka to sign for someone else - as I posted elsewhere today

The issue is this. Muleka has signed a one year loan for £1m. As it is a loan it is probable that his salary remains the same - COULD WE HAVE NOT MATCHED OR BETTERED THAT?

That said the sides finishing in the Saudi Pro league (bottom 3) only paid a maximum of £19000 to their players so I doubt that Al-Kholood would pay much more than this anyway

https://salarysport.com/football/saudi-professional-league/highest-paid/

Al-Kholood are a side that spent last year in the 2nd tier of Saudi Football and only scraped into the first tier by finishing third in the 2nd tier. They are hardly world beaters and the value of their side, on transfermkt, is on par with a Division 1 or Division 2 EFL side.

So Al-Khollood have first choice to buy him next year for £1.5m (or £2.5m in total) but I guess they will only buy him if they dont get relegated - which is highly probable.

So the scenario is this:
a) The whole transfer would have been £2.5m
b) The salary would have been the same (Remember he has gone to Saudi on loan not transferred!)
c) We are really short of strikers
d) Following the sale of McGuinness we accrued significant extra income
e) AND OF COURSE TAN HAS AGREED TO FINANCE BULUT

The question is for £2.5m, and a salary of around £19,000, how did we fail to get him to come to Cardiff.

This is un-FKG-believable.
Actually, let me rephrase this ... sadly it IS FKG believable because we are talking about a circus club run by clowns.

If Bulut thinks we can make top two/top six with Kanga as the main striker ( ) backed up by Robinson, Meite and Etete then he really is from another planet in a universe far far away. The lunatics are taking over the fkg asuylum.

We've been crying out for a decent striker for over three years. It's been said so many times it seems almost Alexander Armstrong to say it again. I'm sure everyone saying it thinks they sound like the proverbial broken record.

What's even more galling/bizarre/insane is that he's talking about another FKN winger!!!!! How many wingers do we need?
I know, let's make up a team comprised of centre backs, sideways passing midfielders and wingers! What a great fkn idea! No one else has ever thought of such an amazing idea! It's so unique, no other club has ever done this.
If this was taken on to Dragon's Den as a new idea, we would surely hear ALL the Dragons cry out in unison 'I'M OUT!'

Oh, hang on a mo ... Mick Mccarthy once tried a back 5 made up entirely of centre backs. Who was that with again? Blackpoo? No! Ipswitch? Noo! Wolves? Nooo! Scumderland? No and thrice no. Oh yeah I remember it was with Cardiff City who in recent years don't seem to have had a FKN clue about how to recruit managers, players or set up a team.

Of course I would love to be proved wrong. I'm a passionate city fan since 1982 who is sick to the back teeth of our club being run by a bunch of FKN jokers and long for the day when (maybe! ) we'll be taken over by 1. someone who genuinely cares about Cardiff City FC AND our fans and 2. Has a decent idea about how a football club should be run and is willing to (genuinely) back us financially.

If we don't get a decent striker for the season ahead then as far as I'm concerned Bulut can get the next train out of here.
Reading his response to 'are we getting a striker?' was one of those incredulous moments that (over recent years) seems to only happen to Cardiff City. What a FKN laughing stock. Made Chelsea and their currently oversized squad seem like drop in the ocean.
RANT OVER!

Go get Jay stansfield ASAP BULET he is available

I'd love to be proven wrong but Kanga doesn't even move like a player and looks really unbalanced and uncoordinated. I hope he's starts smashing them in from this weekend but I'm very worried if we are pinning our hopes on him scoring anything more than a few scrappy goals.

We also missed out on Madine, he’s gone to Hartlepool! He cost us £6million the same as Glazel and neither worked out! Hopefully we’ll get a hungry young striker from a Premier League club on loan!

Shocking that we're not signing a decent striker again. Incompetence.

How can you say it's incompetence & they just don't want to join Cardiff City? I get the feeling we are going to have to throw ridiculous amounts of money at someone just to consider coming here. We're probably going to end up with someone looking for a last payday before they end their career.

Yes - Alex Owens bang on!
It's as if Bulut has some strange striker antithesis!

Really don't know what the heck is going on!? Is Tan aware that a half decent hit man is fundamental to any hopes of promotion/ success?

Is Tan still pissed off about spending £40 million on Acorn over 10 years ago!?

What a shambles.

This is not one window this is the last five or six windows... Incompetence when everyone in the ground can see our strikers are not good enough.

Etete and Davies, fair enough, but you can't make that judgement really on Kanga yet.
