    Paul,
    I am going to Kidderminster soon, for a 4 night holiday there. I won’t congratulate their fans on their win… as I fear we will be a pushover for a great many teams this coming season.
    A few nights ago, I misread a ‘Moore deal done’ headline in WalesOnline… I exclaimed to my wife ‘Ah, great… he will save us from relegation… though he might need Ryan Giles signed as well, to put the ball on his bonce!’
    But then my face fell when I realised the deal had indeed been done… alas not with Cardiff City, but with HULL City.
    Just like we bought the wrong Bacuna brother, so we have done likewise with Willock.
    Younger bro Joe would have been the better choice… but we have not the dosh.
    Chris is another Callum Robinson, methinks.
    If we avoid ending in the bottom six this coming season, I will be astonished.

    Buongiorno, Paul…
    When I was a kid, I used to fantasise of winning Littlewoods and buying Cardiff City. And pitting our club against the Welsh national team in a friendly… and whipping them.

    Fast-forward to today, and Craig Bellamy’s new appointment as Wales boss.

    I think by keeping the underwhelming Bulut, we also dodged a true bullet at CCFC… since ‘Bellars’ would have been the architect of a myriad cock-ups stemming from rolling out from the back to defenders who are not Roberto Carlos or Franz Beckenbauer… and whose second touch is invariably…
    … a tackle…!!

    I have just read on WOL that several clubs are sniffing around the star in our crown, Mark McGuinness. Betcha one is Sheffield Wednesday where he is revered.
    Apparently one bid is of seven figures,
    Eh? When you think if the 12 million NW wasted on Josh Murphy, any bids for Mark should start at EIGHT figures, not seven.
    Journeymen players like Phillips and Chalmers are not fit to lace his boots. This boy is a future captain of his country, and is the only worthwhile legacy that Mick McCarthy left us.
    But I am not surprised that this manager clearly does not rate him: but then he does not rate our next two quality players… Alnwick and Tanner. And yes… I know Perry Ng should be in the quality pantheon too… incidentally, he was supposed to be leaving us for a bigger club. What happened?.
    If Bulut sells McCarthy, then it is a shameful day for our club. It will be a sign for me to down tools and take up transcendental meditation.
    TTFN,
    Dai.
