......of a CURRENT INTERNATIONAL!

I remember 15 years ago people dancing down Livingstone Road (that's in Hove) when we signed the Icelandic guy from Arsenal.

I am not underwhelmed at all. Excellent addition.

Played 25 times for last season's champions. Sounds good to me.

If that's aimed at Graig Conway it's way,way to premature. He's a robust solid performer, have to wait and see how he fits into the team scheme of things. He could gel quite well with Leo.

Nothing like a good old slagging of a player who has not even played a game for us yet

If we'd been promoted then it wouldn't have been a complete surprise if we'd sold it loaned out KLL or Will Buckley. If Leicester or Bolton, lets say had picked em up would we have been weighing in going "how underwhelming". Of course not...

I'm really happy with the signing, at the very least it did prove losing Orlandi meant we were light on attacking players and the club have reacted with a player with a solid track record.

I think i'd prefer a solid player who has a proven record of performing in this league than a 'flair' youngster from a Prem who hasn't played at this level and is an unknown entity.

In defence of the OP, I think his point is that the reaction to the signing has been underwhelming, rather than the signing itself.

If you want underwhelmed signings think back to the Priestfield days, plenty of them there

He is a decent addition to this squad. I would personally love to have him here permanently.
Kept Noone out the Cardiff side the second end of last season and Cardiff fans seem sad he is off.
Crossing is a strong point rspecially from the right and Ulloa will love that no end.
Seems a very negative forum at times and he is deemed a failure bwfore he has even kicked a ball

I got nothing against the signing of Conway, apart from the fact he is not a striker and that is what we need. Bit like signing another centre half, when we already have four in the squad.

He has been signed due to the injury to Orlandi, not as the extra striker, who will come later

Fair enough, but we have managed without Orlandi so far this season (mostly), the point is a striker is the number 1 priority and we still haven't got one. Five league games played and two players have scored goals, says it all.

He will be a very good player for us, I'm happy we've got him! Always seemed to play well whenever I saw Cardiff!
