OH NO - CITY PREDICT THEY WILL GET THEIR MEN

DJ's reaction when asked 'are you happy with how it's gone so far?"


Rather than having the Midas Touch, anything Dave Jones and Peter Ridsdale have promised this summer has, with rare exception, turned out to be the exact opposite.


- Ramsey will go to Manchester United and back for a season on loan here

- We have new foreign investors who are keen on us

- Van Der Schaaf will be signing for City

- Marcus Bent "has signed" for Cardiff

- Robbie Fowler will be staying

- We will have the players we need before we fly of to Portugal

- Ched Evans is likely to be coming on loan

- We will have two new signings by the end of the week (last week)


The list can go on too.


So, should we pay any more than lip service, to Dave Jones' latest declaration that, "there is no panic. We will get the players we need. There are still plenty of quality strikers on our list. We don’t have a number one, two and so on – the players we are interested in can all make an impact at Championships level and beyond.”


Dave Jones' record with strkers for Cardiff City, Michael Chopra apart, has been little short of disastrous. Whatever his public denial, it does appear that he has exhausted his list of key targets this summer - a few of whom didn't particularly excite anyway.


We can only hope he pulls the proverbial rabbit out of the hat and fast. "No panic"? My arse!
