Cardiff City has been active in the transfer market under the guidance of Erol Bulut, who has shared insights about their transfer strategies and ambitions.
Erol Bulut on Transfer Market and Striker Ambitions
During the summer window, Cardiff made significant moves, including bringing in Roko Simic and Wilfried Kanga. The club was also linked with Turkish players such as Umut Nayir and Jackson Muleka. Bulut shared, “We wanted Umut Nayir, but the transfer to Pendikspor didn’t work out. We bought Famara from Granada afterward.”
Bulut’s Vision for Cardiff City’s Future
Despite a tough start to the season, Bulut remains optimistic. He mentioned, “Our preparation was excellent, scoring many goals, although we’ve only managed one in four league matches. We were unlucky.”
Bulut is confident in his players’ abilities and aims for the team to perform better post the international break. He is determined to see Cardiff finish in the top ranks, believing the team has the quality to reach the play-offs.
Manager’s Ban and Ramsey’s Confidence
Erol Bulut faces a one-game touchline ban and a £6,000 fine for his conduct during the match against Swansea. However, Aaron Ramsey remains confident in his physical fitness despite Cardiff’s shaky start.
Ramsey, who played four 90-minute games for Cardiff, revealed his delight at returning home and participating more in his family’s life. His return has been a significant morale boost for Cardiff fans.
Sheyi Ojo’s New Chapter
Sheyi Ojo, after his release from Cardiff, has now signed with NK Maribor in Slovenia. Ojo expressed his excitement about this new challenge and his goal to contribute to the team’s success.
This move marks a fresh start for Ojo, who previously struggled to make a significant impact at Cardiff.
