I'd be very surprised if we had any serious interest at all, doesn't fit our model in the slightest.

Might be a sign of Cardiff’s financial situation...I’m not convinced Collins would have been an inspiring signing even for us!

Daily mail and Cardiff local news are saying that Cardiff beat Middlesbrough and Bristol City to signing him. No mention of us so only FLW that ever said we were in for him

OK having thought about this , James Collins would be a good signing .

However I suspect there will be several clubs in for him and has never appeared to be interested in playing for us in the past so I doubt we will get him

Our back line kept him quiet the other day so no change - saving the money for the "big" signing coming - know nothing but you seen it here first

There was interest I believe. Not sure how far that went. Mark Robins likes the player. Not the first time we've looked at him. We'll kick the tyres on a lot of free agents I'm sure. Wages will be an issue with players like Collins if they have other offers.

Personally I'm torn anyway. I think he's a decent player, and certainly an upgrade on Biamou but doesn't really fit our normal model. Gives me confidence we're looking at the right type of player either way.

We have people who want to sign a player who they have never seen because his surname is fucking Coventry.

Wasting our time with him. We can do better, it’d be a underwhelming signing and I don’t see the attraction.

I wouldn't care. He's a decent player at this level. He's different to what we currently have. Certainly the right type of player.

He doesn't fit any of our plans or philosophies. Maybe we could have as a new clive Platt to bring on in case we need to lump it forward.

Too expensive for that.

Surprised he didn't end up at Brizzle as he's a Pearson style player.

Collins fits the Cardiff model. All players must’ve over 6 feet in height

That’s about right!
Fans I’ve spoken with in Cardiff are fairly despondent about their chances next season already!

He'll surely only be backup. Can't see him going from being second choice at Luton to first choice at Cardiff.

I’d say you’re right. They’ve got kieffer-moore...and that’s about it. McCarthy set to ring the changes. They’ve got rid of hoilett and likely can’t afford to bring Wilson back (so the fans say). They’ll be after Baka next!

Funny how quickly things turn, they were relegation candidates before he took over, then in with a play off shout and then back towards the former.

I guess They’ve had their expectations built up over the last few years.
Having said that, they strike me as a particularly fickle fan base.

Yeah, it probably doesn’t help. It’s fair to say they don’t get along...
I’d be interested to see what happens if Newport get promoted and continue their upward trajectory. Seems that Cardiff/Newport have a pretty good relationship...I suspect only because they’ve rarely been in competition.

It is the most Cov thing ever. We are after a player who is in fact a big Cov fan and we lose him to another team. I get they are offering more money, but this is just so typical!
