Summer Transfer Gossip.

[humussapiens]

According to reputable journalist Alan Nixon, Cardiff City attacker Bobby Reid could be set to re-join former club Bristol City before this afternoon's transfer deadline.

Signing Reid allows us to go from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2 pretty quickly. Evidence of a plan B mindset.

However I do want someone defensive.

[Statto]

Our transfer windows are beginning to follow the same pattern. Absolutely no value attached to signing players in time for pre-season and little regard had to what we actually need. Just wait until deadline day and look for random bargains like we're in Primark on boxing day.

If we do end up signing Reid, I would not agree that it is not what we need. It's been said many times over these last x weeks that we can't rely on Mitro being fit all season, and we also know that we lack a plan B striking option. Fonte has not worked out, AK is not the answer either. Obviously, we have to strengthen defence and DM as well, so let's see what transpires on that front.

Bobby Reid is 5'7". He cannot play as a Mitrovic-type CF. We could change our tactics to suit him, but if we're going to do that, we could just as easily play Cavaliero or even Ayite in that role. In any case no one in their right mind would say we need this signing more than defenders and midfielders. In fact I'd even prefer a new GK.

or even 2-3-5. Inverted xmas tree!
We'll concede a few but may score a load too.

I'd like DM through the door, RB and GK.

Outs today? Fabri? Cisse? Fonte? O Reilly on loan?

[Tooting legend]

Thats not what he said here......

Fulham. Red hot favourites now for Bobby Reid. Cardiff will do deal if right. Pray for Lee Johnson 😳

Bobby Reid - great, but he isn't a CB...

[We Are Premier League]

Harrison Reed from Saints? Cm but could potentially play as an attacking RB...

Why don't thye throw in Austin instead, instead of sending him to West Brom.

[DevonFFC]

The "great can he play CB" is very quickly becoming a sh1t joke

[FFC1987]

Honestly, I'm not sure where Reid fits in?

Our transfer windows are beginning to follow the same pattern. Absolutely no value attached to signing players in time for pre-season and little regard had to what we actually need. Just wait until deadline day and look for random bargains. Like Currys on black friday.

The problem isn't signing players on deadline day, the problem is we sell players before their replacements have been at the club for at least one window. Fulham should have a first team squad of at least 23 players, and at least 18 of those players should be at the club for at least four months (enough for the first matchday only to include players at the club last season). We should have kept Anguissa for at least one window, while Arter was integrating into the club.

Johanson replacement and, yes, we have other areas that need more urgent attention.

Maybe Johanson has been playing well at DM, CB or RB in training

[HV71]

Do you think we are after both Reid and Reed -or has some journo overheard something and we have some rumour confusion. Of course I could be read  ing  too much into this....

It's obvious from 17/18, that we drop points every time Cairney didn't start. FFC need two AM.

[Mince n Tatties]

Charlie Austen medical at W Brom.

[Roberty]

There is no rush to process the OUTS - the windows in the rest of Europe do not close until the end of the month - the urgency is only with players coming IN

[Mince n Tatties]

Drinkwater to Burnley.
Carroll back to Newcastle

[Two Ton Ted]

Drinkwater to Burnley.
Carroll back to Newcastle

Good business by both teams there.

[FFCFOREVER]

Looking like Reid on his way to CC.As per SSN

[LVBPTS]

REID SET FOR FULHAM?

Sky sources understand Fulham is the more likely destination for Cardiff City midfielder Bobby Reid.

[St. Andrews White]

Reid, Besic and a CB and I'd be delighted. Even just the first two with the business already done would be a decent window imo
