Squad27 Aug 2035

Harry Clarke damages knee ligaments — 19 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 19 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad27 Aug 2035

100 days out for Bartosz Żelazowski after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Cardiff City will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match25 Aug 2035

Cardiff City run riot against Luton Town

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.

Market27 Aug 2035

Joseph Thompson has said yes to Accrington Stanley

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Cardiff City have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Cardiff City say no — this time

The offer from AFC Wimbledon for Bartosz Żelazowski was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets27 Aug 2035

Cardiff City bid $7.7M for Quinten Timber

The offer went to Arsenal this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets27 Aug 2035

$1.8M settles it between the clubs for Temirlan Anarbekov

Crystal Palace have accepted the money. What Cardiff City do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Market27 Aug 2035

George Tanner asks to leave Cardiff City

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market27 Aug 2035

Only the photograph left for Antonio Popic

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Antonio Popic will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Cardiff City the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad21 May 2035

Words at Cardiff City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Harry Clarke is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad21 May 2035

Tempers go at Cardiff City

George Tanner was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout21 May 2035

A promise honoured at Cardiff City

Something was said to Mustapha Abu and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout21 May 2035

No hiding place for Ryan Andrews

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ryan Andrews, and the manager let it.

Market21 May 2035

The Aladji Bamba story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Aladji Bamba signs something — a contract at Cardiff City or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout21 May 2035

Liam Harris knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Liam Harris trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
