Match15 Aug 2026
Cardiff City run riot against Stockport County
3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Cardiff City make their move for Ollie Scarles
$16.3M on the table at West Ham United. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Yousef Salech scores twice — 8.79
Two goals and a mark of 8.79 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

No deal for Jordan Morris at that price
Cardiff City offered $10.6M; Seattle Sounders said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Levski tell Cardiff City: Christian Makoun is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Cardiff City go back to the board over Ollie Scarles
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $17.8M — a club that wants Ollie Scarles enough to be asked twice.

The paperwork begins on Fabio Lima
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Cardiff City have done the hard part with Porto, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Cardiff City
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Words exchanged at Cardiff City
