Cardiff City chairman outlines transfer strategy, focusing on loans and permanent moves to strengthen the squad amid relegation battle
Dalman was open with the fans, admitting that the team is in a bit of a tough spot, fighting to stay out of the relegation zone. He emphasized that this month is crucial for the club to improve the squad and start moving up the table.
They’ve already had a bid turned down for a speedy player from Peterborough, but it looks like they’re making some moves. A player has been loaned out, and there are a couple of others who might be leaving too.
In his letter to fans, Dalman reassured everyone that the manager, Vincent, is doing his best to work within the club’s structure. He expects to see some loan deals, which is common in January, along with a few permanent transfers to boost the team’s quality.
The club has been doing well in sending young players out on loan to gain experience, which has helped them return stronger. Dalman mentioned that this strategy is part of their long-term plan, and they hope to see more success with it soon.
He also highlighted the hard work of the academy staff, who are preparing young players for senior football. With a good chunk of the current squad being academy graduates, it’s clear they’re investing in their future. They’re looking to create tailored loan experiences for their young talents, which should pay off in the coming month.
