So Bolton are set to sign LeFondre. How have we let this one pass us by I don't understand.

I feel the clubs obsession with courting foreign dross is costing us decent signings within the leagues.

Everybody thought sharp a good signing Lefondre will turn out to be the same.

Agree0 Disagree0

Then what's the point of signing anybody if that's the mentality.

Every signing made is going to be either hit or miss, the point I am making is we should be signing within the leagues.

Agree with both posters! Lefondre is the sort of player we should have bought 3 years ago but he is not the force he once was. It also proves we shouldn't re-sign Beckford.

At this stage we have to keep scouring foreign leagues for strikers to get value. However, we need to continue searching for more McDaids.

Agree0 Disagree0

How is mcdaid doing anyways GIW?

Le Fondre can't even get in the Cardiff team. He'd be another expensive has been striker, we already have one in Sharp.

And m, mcdaid is not yet setting world alight but he has time.

Agree0 Disagree0

LeFondre has played 20 or so times for Cardiff, just can't find the net. As I said before, players can be hit or miss, no matter where they go. It all depends on how the chap is utilised.

Look at Hunt, couldn't score in a brothel at Leeds, buts send him to Ipswich and he has scored 3 in 7. With Beckford, he was prolific with us, yet since can't seem to find the form.

Talk of Jason Pearce and/or Rudi Austin going. I'm not desperate for either of them to go during this window, but neither do I think it would be a disaster . I think it's now becoming pretty clear that the longer term plan is beginning to take shape . Assuming we stay up, which I'm confident we should, I think the next couple of seasons could be very exciting - on the pitch! We definitely won't be able to hold on to our best youngsters though unless we get promoted sooner rather than later (but al least we know MC will get decent prices when they do go)

I see no point in selling either of them, especially to teams who are in the bottom half of the table with us.

If anything they should be kept as squad players, which I think is running a bit thin at the moment. If anything get rid of Doukara and bring someone in upfront, Tonge and someone on the wings and possible ter

Both these players can still make part of the team up.

Glad to see Pearce go and won't miss Austin. Hope someone takes Tonge Norris and Morrison as well then we will have had a clean sweep

Agree0 Disagree0

Both good lads who will do their best for us whenever they play. I'd prefer to see them kept until the summer, but they are clearly not part of the longer term plans
