I'm sorry but if you reach his age only being able to use 1 foot, you are never going to be brilliant
Not this nonsense again.

Bournemouth defender Jack Simpson is prepared to stay at the club despite Cardiff agreeing a fee with the Cherries for the centre-back. #afcb #cardiffcityfc
Chris Waddle didn't have a bad career!
Exactly, Rivaldo, Messi and plenty of non world class players.
If it was that big an issue coaches would be focusing on it more.
Ake never used his right foot, dont recall too many complaints. But agreed he's 5th choice and out of contractInteresting that forwards are mentioned here. A one-footed CB is a liability against fast-moving attackers who work to pull the defence out of position. Unfortunately for Jack S this has happened on several occasions when he's been badly exposed - the key reason he's not been a first choice at CB.
As I've said, I think he'll join Rangers at the end of the seasonhttps://twitter.com/SportsPeteO

You could be right, wouldn't be a bad move at all for him.As I've said, I think he'll join Rangers at the end of the season

Take this for what it is, a post on a fans forum from a random person that is more than likely made up. Still....

I hope that isn't how we go about things.
Why ? I would have thought that was the RIGHT way to go about things. Or are you suggesting we should not listen to offers for our players before these players have explicitly expressed a desire to AFCB ?Take this for what it is, a post on a fans forum from a random person that is more than likely made up.

Darn, you beat me to it Dez ! I had half a post ready when the phone rang and you snuck in. But I agree, I don't think the club did much wrong here. No point in distracting a player with a deal which may never come together, much better to wait and them have something tangible to offer them. They still have the right to decline if they so wish.Isn’t that the way it should be done?
Club A makes offer, we accept and inform the player a deal has been made and they are free to discuss terms, Player decides if they want to go or not.
Was worse back in the bucket collection days, the player was normally informed if they didn’t move the club would go under!
I wouldn't be surprised if Cardiff leaked it initially to be honest. They got overexcited when the bid was accepted and probably news of this exciting new signing leaked out to someone in the press up there. After that AFCB could only confirm the news as it was in fact true.I would hope that the player is informed and a discussion had whether they are interested before anything is leaked. The fact knowledge of the deal came out and was discussed when Simpson didn't even want to talk to them isn't great.

More importantly, does his staying scupper the CCV deal ?
LOLBeing quick to claim they've signed someone makes a change from their usual tactic of denying they've signed them at all when it comes to paying the fee.
