VFTN x Declan John
Declan John paved the way for the likes of Rubin Colwill and Mark Harris. He was the prototype. A rare academy graduate at a time when there were insurmountable odds and plenty of obstacles. He was probably the right player at the wrong time and VFTN caught up with him recently to discuss the ups […]
Gareth Bale – What are the chances?
Zero. And yet… Look, this is not intended as an exercise in pissing on anyone’s chips. Its nice to dream, especially during times like this, but its times like this that makes this all the less likely. Unfortunately. Football clubs in general, but especially at Football League level, are on their knees. After 18 months […]
What about these guys?
While we all await the release of next season’s fixtures, our first glimpse of the new kit and the identity of those two players Mehmet Dalman supposedly signed off about a month ago, we are left to ponder potential transfer targets and the sorts of players that could make a significant difference. Focussing on the […]
VFTN x Tom Sang
Rubin Colwill may have been named Cardiff’s Young Player of the Year, but for our money, Tom Sang is their real find this year. Making the step up to the Championship, while mastering a new position is no mean feat and Tom has taken it all in his stride. He thoroughly deserved his new deal […]
Deal or no deal?
It would appear that only Dylan Phillips, Curtis Nelson, Joel Bagan, Perry Ng, Leandro Bacuna, Rubin Colwill, Kieffer Moore, Tom Sang, Max Watters and Gavin Whyte have Cardiff contracts beyond next summer. That leaves 17 first team players with an uncertain future at the club and a situation that, ideally, will need to be resolved […]
Junior Hoilett used to live here
Remember Junior Hoilett? Canadian guy, about 5’8, used to patrol the left side of the team. He used to be a regular, but was last seen around these parts towards the end of January. This is a weird one. Hoilett started Mick McCarthy’s first game in charge, a 2-2 draw in Barnsley, but only lasted […]
The best things in life are free (agents)
Hey guys, it’s that time of year again! The clocks have gone forward, the football season is limping towards the line and players are running down their contracts, accidentally on purpose. There is a healthy crop this year, but the following are the cream. The number one draft pick – Alex Mowatt Embed from Getty […]
Aden Flint has nothing to prove to you
Aden Flint was shit. Too slow, too old and not good enough for Cardiff City. Except now he’s a legend, an undroppable asset that is thriving and key to Cardiff’s future success. Such is the hysterical, bipolar nature of social media that you can be written off and written straight back in again over the […]
What happens when Kieffer can give no Moore?
Kieffer Moore will break. it feels inevitable. His workload is unsustainable and it’s already happened once before. The last time Cardiff faced Swansea, Moore tore his hamstring and missed a month. In his absence, Cardiff lost consecutive games against Norwich, Brentford, Wycombe and Nottingham Forest, a run that effectively cost Neil Harris his job. His […]
VFTN x Ben Turner – Part Two
How did you find the step up to the Premier League? It was probably a surprise to see you start ahead of the captain Mark Hudson, but you were the better blend to play the other side of Steven Caulker and were one of the players that seemed to thrive in the top flight. I […]
