Comminges Season Is Over ... (although I never knew it had started)

Comminges: "Did you know an anagram of my name is Cum,ming Goes Mile?"


It’s a sign of a forgotten player when, even in the middle of an absence of players, few fans were enquiring as to the whereabouts of French speaking Guadeloupian defender/midfielder Miguel Comminges. Not only that but of those few who were wondering, today’s news that he is out for months following a cruciate knee ligament injury barely registered a shrug of the shoulders.

The ringlet haired player came with high hopes in the summer of 2008 having just won League One Swindon’s Player of the Season and the West Country club angered to be losing their man on a free transfer Bosman signing.

Miguel featured early season for City but never built on mild promise and left Cardiff fans feeling that he just wasn’t good enough to play at Championship level. He was, however, a regular player managing 7 Championship starts, mainly early season, and another 20 appearances off the bench.

This season, fans can’t even remember what he looks like as he has only been seen in two games against Dagenham & Redbridge in the Carling Cup and Plymouth in the league, both times from the sub’s bench and both games in mid-August – 7 months ago.

Out of contract this summer, Comminges has surely played his last for Cardiff and Bluebirds will wish him well in recovery and, as would seem likely, getting a new club.
