Our playing budget is greater than last season's - that is a fact.
Just because we wouldn't pay what Grabban wanted - or Barnes for that matter - it doesn't mean we couldn't. He is a decent championship player, but he isn't as good as Ulloa or others in this division.
You forgot to add that if you don't find out right now, the transfer window has been a complete disaster for the club (despite there still being another 2 weeks) and they have some explaining to do to the STHs.
Posh Spice is a Gypsy;
she likes a bit of Grabbin';
and when she's shagging Beckham;
she thinks of Lewis Grabban.
First and probably last time I'll ever do this.
I love it when we have players with pace in the squad. This news combined with the signing of Monakana yesterday has made this a good window for me already, even allowing for the fact that Bridcutt is probably on his way.
I think every half decent striker from the championship or lower premier league has been 'spotted at the Amex' by a friend of someone posting on NSC during the past 2.5 years.
Yes, but it's good to have options as well as back up on the bench. Besides, even if CMS does make a come back in the DS this month, as hoped, he isn't going to be anywhere near full fitness and pace until at least March.
Because he's also out of contract in the summer, and if he doesn't make Cardiff's 25 then he'll cost them around 300k to sit in the reserves. If Barnes had stayed, he'd have been in every match day squad, injury notwithstanding.
