Cardiff make 2nd Signing:


Sivert Mannsverk has signed for Cardiff City on loan from Ajax until the end of the season.

Medical has been done and will be officially announced later.

Mannsverk has made one appearance for Ajax this season.


He is available to make his debut on Saturday at Leeds.



The Norwegian, 22, has completed his medical and agreed personal terms with the Welsh club.

Mannsverk, who has only made two league appearances for Ajax this season because of injuries, could make his Bluebirds debut at Leeds United in Saturday's Championship fixture.















So far Omer Riza has brought one new player in, in January’s Transfer.

Riza said he needed two to three new players and everything was in place just before January.




Omer Riza :

"We’ve got everything in hand and in place in respect of transfers.”

“Everything's still ongoing," said Cardiff manager Omer Riza.

"We've still got six or seven days left and conversations have been good with players.”

“The board is backing me and the clubs are talking to them.”


"So hopefully things will move forward in the next three to five to six days. Hopefully."

Your on dodgy ground i mentioned that riza said he had his ducks in a row ready back in dec for january and told off on rge forum that i don' t understand how things work.

I was mearly pointing out that the way riza was describing things,
we where getting players in early especially as we had 7 games in january.

Monty trouble is how people interpret what is said? Could simply mean things lined up to proceed that could mean budget.... could mean got targets but whatever is said getting players in depends on player and parent club agreeing on things something no one can control and something fans have no idea about.... but of course the other alternative is for him to say nothing and will end up with same comments from fans but with a different twist? But the narrative is if there's a positive or negative side to things 99% of people on here choose negative side? The positive is we got a decent looking striker and time to add to squad.... other clubs would love to sighn players but haven't ...keep the faith monty. :thumbup:

Re: Omer Riza: “ Latest on new players coming In “

Mon Jan 27, 2025 2:47 pm

Transfers will always take time in January because the selling club will want to get their squad sorted before they let players leave. You always see PL clubs loan players out in the last couple of days.

Things can be in place but then things change.

Ashford is an example. A League One club thought they were getting him on loan but now we've decided to keep him thankfully.

As long as they get done by 11pm on Monday, that's the main thing.

Agreed Monty,

Way back in December Riza said everything was in place and deals done for January.

As you say 7 games have gone by.

Riza has also said he’s happy with this squad and does not need more than 3 new players, so for me he can never complain with all clubs having the same amount of games coming up and can’t they are tired etc

This.

Clubs will be reluctant to let people go until they have brought people in to cover the outgoing player.

We see year on year that multiple fringe players go out on loan towards the end of the window for that specific reason.

It would be brilliant to have them in early in the window, must most of the time that’s not possible.

He should have said nothing then people can't complain that players haven't arrived when they were lined up!
Or should have gone to local supermarket and picked a player of the shelf?

Re: Omer Riza: “ Latest on new players coming In “

Mon Jan 27, 2025 3:43 pm

Riza didn’t actually say that everything was lined up though at all.

This is where it is all getting twisted and words are being changed. This has been covered on here multiple times.

What he said was that they had a meeting with the board and a shortlist of players were given to them, and discussions were taking place, and that HOPEFULLY transfers can move forward.

He said January was an important window, but our league position was also a potential problem.

So he didn’t say ‘everything is in place, transfers agreed.’

I really don’t understand how people keep changing what has been said just to undermine what the club/Riza have done this window.

Regardless of the window so far, in which we have brought in Salech which looks the best forward we have brought in since KM, we are also unbeaten in January.

Just another reason for a moan.

He specifically said "everything is in place" and "deals were done" ? I along with a few others must have missed that part because I doubt very much he said those words. If he did then I would be the first to apologize.

Then he said he was happy with his squad? He's more confused than I am.

We all know a deal isn't done until it's announced by the club & not someone on twittery tweets or faceless books or whatever they're called.

This is what's put on here by him?
""""We’ve got everything in hand and in place in respect of transfers.
Everything's still ongoing," said Cardiff manager Omer Riza."""
So unless there is a different quote elsewhere he doesn't say they're done or near it.... but he implies everything is in place for transfers ? Like I said earlier this could imply funds or targets are in place and attempts are being made to get them.

And when did ‘ducks in a row’ mean we’re signing players the first day of January ffs!

Things take time and can go wrong for a myriad of reasons as others have explained on here also.

Good post allan.

Many fans come on and off the forum at various times but who knows their reasons?
It’s likely they have an excellent reason for leaving.

It could be health reasons, it could be bereavement, it could even be mental health reasons as I’ve read on here in the past.

Do they deserve snide remarks for different views to others?

I know you, yourself, left for quite a time and I remember talking to you in the Premier Lounge when you explained your reasons.

Like I say, a good an accurate post.

I will remind you Allan,

The Club is Ours, Fans don’t Slag Our Club off they Slag The Hierarchy off and many will always as after 25 yrs Fans are Fed up of pure Bullshit.

The results have improved Significantly and long may they continue, But it runs way way deaperthan that.

And it’s funny when we are on a Disastrous run which happens a lot of times now, the slimey usual Suspects( your not one) crawl away and hide, as soon as few good results as you can see they reappear mouthing like Keyboard warriors with Fake names, having ago at Fellow BLUBIRDS, you could not make it us.
