FLW’s Cardiff City fan pundit has predicted a successful summer transfer window for the Bluebirds as they look to clear out numerous high-earners, but he also believes that star man Rubin Colwill could depart amid previous transfer interest.
Cardiff’s current position in the Championship table is a precarious one, with just one place and one point separating them and Derby County in the relegation zone with just eight games of the campaign to go.
Omer Riza has been unable to improve their fortunes since he became the Bluebirds’ interim boss in September, and was then appointed as their full-time manager in December. He is set to remain in charge for next season, and will be overseeing an important transfer window regardless of their league status.
The Bluebirds’ downfall over the last few seasons can be largely attributed to the poor use of the finances at their disposal. High-profile signings like Jesper Daland and David Turnbull have failed to impress, while players on big wages such as Aaron Ramsey, Yakou Meite and Anwar El-Ghazi have not contributed enough on the pitch compared to what they earn each week.
Given their current predicament, it is pretty clear that Cardiff need a real overhaul of their squad this summer, whether they are preparing for another campaign in the Championship or are back in League One after 22 years away.
