There may have been some anticipation, there may have been some fear but, as Peter Ridsdale suspected, the current transfer window closed today with no deals involving Cardiff City and very few in general. None of the big clubs made any move and the biggest transfer was ex-City man James Collins moving from West Ham to Aston Villa for £5M.
Of course, there were rumours during the day - the biggest reported by newspapers and websites was that Wolves were offering £5.5M plus Sam Vokes on loan for Joe Ledley but that turned out to be nonsense. It would appear there were no enquiries for any Cardiff City main player although rumours would have it that Riccy Scimeca declined a loan move to League One Brentford.
One deal did affect City. Polish goalkeeper Erwin Sak left the club by agreement and promptly signed for Conference fellow Welsh side Wrexham. Sak, at 19, had been with the club for 3 years but never got close to a breakthrough leaving cynics to suggest we don't need Poles as stadium construction is complete!
So City will face Newcastle next game with the same squad but have been buoyed by the news that Jay Bothroyd is likely to be available after his injury scare.
