One hell of a squad Cardiff are building. My money is on them to win the league next year... as hard as it is to say!!!!
What a bunch of quality signings they've made.

Cardiff are spending more money than Neath. Neath claimed in a recent article that five other clubs are spending more than them in terms of wages. If this is true, how do we compete?
Adam Whitney isn't on their squad list this season. Di-dums! |

How do any club without the resources of the top 5 compete?
From where I stand... it looks like the Welsh Prem clubs are throwing money at players, therefore not helping the regional situation.
The regions are signing foreigners all the time... so what hope do we have in the long term? Answers on a post card please. |

I'm thinking the same. I think the WRU are a bit gutless on this issue, restrictions of some sort need to be put in place in terms of spending money on players. We are probably bottom of the table when it comes to paying and buying players. |

The money they might offered that Jamie Murphy, we would not have stood a chance of signing him. |

Not sure these clubs are producing anyone who is good enough to play in the Premiership. Went to see a game with Tondu few months back on a Friday night and I can safely say there was no-one on that pitch who would be able to play in the Premier Division sadly. And if they was any, I'm sure other clubs would have snapped them up. Money is the root to all evil! |

sorry - but pencoed have a handful of players that could make it given the chance(and we have allready missed out on one as above.!) and in fact pencoed and the atheltic are in the same division the way we r going we might as well be the ath..!! |
