I imagine Doug will wait until very late in the window and we have two lots of options. If we're 9+ points ahead of the pack, with a few more games gone, he might want to roll the dice to help ensure we get over the line. If it's close and there are no guarantees in this league, I assume he'll keep his powder dry and not be saddled with big cheques that we can't write.

Both very good young players.
But still a risk at this stage. If we want to add defenders, we can't gamble on L1 as we need to be looking at the Prem next season and the gap is too much. For right now it would be a risk to bring them in too and Cardiff would want decent money to risk derailing their own push for promotion. I can't see there being much in this one.

We could buy and loan back , similar to the EMC deal

Thinking ahead though we need decent younger players if we get promotion. The current level of under 21s to the first team is huge.

I like the bit where it says "scouts from Coventry were present at Cardiffs win over Wigan Athletic in order to watch both Lawlor and Kpakio".

Or..... They were there watching Rapheal and the reporter has just put 2 and 2 together and came up with 56!

Apart from anything, why are supporters fixated with who is a bigger club than whom?

The Leicester lot were doing it on their board, and it happens everywhere. But if you support a club like Cardiff or Leicester (or Coventry) you're hardly doing so because of their mighty stature in the game.

If you give a toss about that, fuck off and support Real Madrid.

It is weird and when it's Championship clubs its basically just a load of similar sized clubs trying to dick wave at each other. I'll never accept Bournemouth or Brentford in the Prem mind you but my head isn't gone enough to not realise the fact they are 'small' clubs doesn't mean they are absolutely ahead of us in the food chain as things stand. Outside of super clubs i doubt players give 2 shits about who is the biggest club and more who can give them the biggest pay packet.

Brentford and Bournemouth are still objectively tiny clubs though. Would be interesting to see one of them get to Wembley these days - would they even sell out their allocation?

I agree but I think Brighton have grown. They’re filling their stadium. I don’t feel like Bournemouth have grown much. I think I’m talking more about attendance and general fan base.

I just googled average home attendances for Bournemouth AFC and was staggered to discover that it seems to be around only 11,500. Surely that's not correct and can't sustain a premier league team?
PL clubs are significantly less impacted by ticket revenue than teams lower down the food chain.

Yes, he's got those new brain boosting Nike shoes on too

Just looked into these. Man I’ve got to get into the selling nonsense to rich people game.
