Brentford’s local newspaper saying we’re in talks with the club over Ryan Woods. He’d be a superb signing for centre mid in my opinion.
Can you imagine him and Clucas in the centre of midfield tho!? Ginger central! 😂
Nicknamed ‘the Ginger Pirlo’ ... ‘Possessing an extensive passing range, gifting him his Pirlo nickname, Woods is constantly looking to dictate the game’s tempo.’
‘But the 24-year-old is more than just a cultured footballer. He has a steeliness that sees him dominate the middle of the park and endears him to fans.
Vocal throughout a game, Woods carries leadership qualities out on the pitch and possesses a clear vision of what he expects from his team-mates, making him the archetypal ‘captain without the armband’.
With the ability to both drive forward with the ball and battle for possession, it’s this dynamism that makes him the lynchpin of Smith’s side.
Woods’ all-round game also lends itself to versatility, too, having played in both full-back positions, as well as out wide on occasion.’
If this lad has even average agents working for him, he'll go know where near the scum. (Apart from driving past to sign for us that is) They would be a disaster for his career, of that I have no doubt. The hoofball that your lot play would kill him. Personally, I can't stand Warnock as a coach and would never ever want him near our club, but you do have to hand it to him, he does seem to have obvious ability to get a team out of the championship. That said he will be gone by Xmas and so will you lot, (hopefully) because As we all know, he is useless in the premier league.
The arrogance some of our fans have is incredible to witness. Their games were likely far more exciting than ours last season and I'm sure their midfield saw more of the ball than ours. All I remember us doing is hoofing it long for someone to try and knock down.
And saying Warnock would be a disaster for his career is a stretch. Warnock has enhanced the careers of every member of that very average Cardiff team who will now have the chance to show off their ability to hundreds of millions of people across the world each week.

You can enhance average, make players give that extra ten per cent but the squad they are entering the season with is short on PL quality.
They may raise their game but it probably won't be anywhere near enough.

In fairness to Warnock, they raised it possibly to its limit to do so well in the Championship. I don’t think they are far from their ceiling. Unless the new boys they brought in make a significant difference.

Our fans are arrogant in the extreme and full of shit in the main but what you've written there is a pile of bollocks,
I watched them a few times last season and there's no sugar coating the way they play or the absolute fact they bypass midfield.
They got up through huff, puff, a whole load of bluster and the sheer fact this division lacks quality in every department.
You can actually get promoted with all of the above in this league. You cannot compare what goes on in the EPL to the shit that's served up in the Championship so forget it.

Exciting? The games I saw were tedious as feck. The ball spent more time in the air than on the ground. Saves having a decent quality pitch, I suppose. And no, their midfield just watched the ball going over their heads.

I do not see a single ounce of arrogance in what I have written.
Did you actually watch the Scum play last year? They were basically a very physical hoofball team. Fact not arrogance! It is a style totally associated with Warnock's football philosophy. Fact not arrogance! I respectfully added that Warnock is a master of getting teams promoted. But I also stated at Premier League level he is pretty much useless. Fact not arrogance! Actually I recall him saying himself on talkshite in the past, the championship is his level. Where he enjoys plying his trade most. Fact not arrogance! Honestly, I half expected him to resign this Summer after getting them up. But I suppose the lure of one more go at the big time and the pay-off for getting sacked was too much.
As for Woods joining us, if it had been under Monk, Clement etc, I would never have written it. But under Potter I believe if given the support and time we will return to the style of football a player like this lad would excel and develope under. Maybe not a fact, but certainty not arrogance either. Finally, we will only find out if he comes and time will tell!

They played aggressive hoofball. Did the job for them but hardly an exciting brand of football.

Exactly what Martinez did with players he picked up in league 1. Whatever happens, we have just cashed in again, which we needed after three years of para payments. Also, should we go back down we already have 40 million quid of better players to help us go again. Like I’ve said many times the money league really doesn’t bother me, up down so what? That’s life less we start giving out 120k a week contracts as we all know with bony, that’s doesn’t always equate to stay8ng up.

What’s this bull that we always by pass midfield? That’s simply not true. Maybe more often than not but they can play the ball through if need.

Yawn off.....saw some of your games last season with your 30% possession, all you did was hoof it down the channels in the end, tedious as f. Are you blind? I know, just pretend last season didn’t happen eh?

Are you really passing off that game as an example of your shit style of football? But even in the clip does it not show once you passing from the back through midfield to ube top.
It shows you robbing a shit Leeds side high up the pitch and scoring and one of them was against ten men.

That third goal was wonderful. You must be very proud of your football team, Byron.
I’m not that connected to the club these days, we scored quite a lot of free flowing goals last season. I recall Warnock qpr side a few years ago playing good stuff, it’s a myth his team don’t. They press and move the ball quick, it’s still a miracle we went up considering our budget was also 14th in the league last season.

The championship is good ffs. I’m looking forward to seeing it this season, going to be a belter I reckon. Are Burnley and Everton that great? Half the premier league last season was bang average, if you think anything else you are deluded.

Did you actually read my post? If you had Byron, you’d have registered my acknowledgment of our recent past in my last paragraph. You only need to see where we find ourselves now to realise that. The premier league as a whole was poor last season yet we still got relegated. Anyway you continue to Delude yourself mate, if you believe the Scum play attractive football. After all they do say, one man’s meat is another man’s mutton.

Nope, just that you don’t need to hoof it to score, Leeds were above us when we demolished them too. Still, hoof hoof hoof....bit like your team of clogging bottlers last season eh? I don’t even know how you have the balls to post on here Res after your guff you spouted all last season. Bend over

Cardiff showed that a good manager, a hard working team and excellent support can be enough to take you up irrespective of your budget. It reminds me of another team from South Wales back at the start of the decade.

No we don’t, but it’s effective and far more interesting to watch than you lot have been last 3 years. We don’t always hoof it though, but more than happy for teams to expect that, maybe that’s what did them in last season, I mean surely it’s easy to defend a hoof eh? Looking forward to seeing how you get on 2b fair
