Cardiff City open their cheque book undisclosed

More news on Cardiff City with manager Neil Warnock fourth new signing from over the Bristol Channel is time. Bristol City striker Bobby Reid as signed for an undisclosed fee reported in the press as £10million. I cannot understand why clubs just can’t say what the transfer fee is. Anyway, he has signed a 4-year contract and must have sent out a worrying feeling to other strikers in Warnock squad.

The 25 year old scored 19 League goals last season for the Robins.

Speaking to Cardiff's official website, he said: "I'm delighted to be here and to be a Premier League player.
"I want to show my high energy and work rate, as well as being creative and working for the team. I'm buzzing to get started."
Bristol City fans are not happy with the sale to us, it hasn’t gone down well, and that gives me a smile. Don’t cry for us Bristol City because we are truly the bigger club.

It’s been busy at Cardiff with an earlier signing when Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Alex Smithies joined Warnock’s revolution for this season campaign in the Premiership. Again, the fee was reported undisclosed while reports suggest £4million with add-ons.

While Warnock’s number one Neil Etheridge had an outstanding campaign when Cardiff clinched promotion to the Premier League last season, Smithies will bring “healthy competition” to the position. With Etheridge’s native Philippines in the Asia Cup in January and could be away for up to 5 weeks if the Philippines reach the final a good back up was always going to be needed.

Also, welcome by the club and the fans Junior Hoilett commits his future to Cardiff for another three years after signing a new contract. The Canadian international winger was one of the stars of last season’s promotion push and Cardiff with determined for him to re-sign.

Cardiff manager Neil Warnock said: “Junior had a fantastic season for us last year and I think his new contract is just rewards for that.
“I think he’s looking forward to the challenge next season and I’m sure he’ll play a major role in helping us try to stay in the Premier League.”

Now everyone is waiting on midfielder Aron Gunnarsson re-signing soon as possible now is World Cup adventure is over he needs to sort out is future with him being out of contract in a few days. Back in March manager Warnock claims Aron Gunnarsson would be "daft" to leave if they win promotion so fingers cross on a new future for the Icelandic star in Cardiff.

Other new washing around the transfer rumour mill about Cardiff is Warnock is reportedly keen on taking midfielder Marko Grujic on loan again, after a successful spell last season. There have been have reports of a number of teams interested in his signature on loan or cash. Another name floating around is Rangers star midfielder Josh Windass could be a target after reports Cardiff have triggered the release clause of the Rangers star and on the two we will have to wait and see.
