    Are Cardiff throwing around big bucks this year?

  3. #83
    Were you all not saying Cardiff threw money around last year, and predicted a bottom 3 finish. We are 3 to 4 months out from game one and you guys already obsessing over the mighty tangerine and white

    Croatia 5
    South Cardiff 0

    I think people were predicting a bottom 3 finish because the season prior you finished bottom of the pile and by a stroke of luck managed to stay in the division.

    You appear to have spent your way out of trouble though so credit to you. Will be interesting to see if some of the other clubs where the players actually play for the badge and not for their pay checks are able to keep up with you across the season.

    Yes, you are correct, we spent a little last year, had to, to survive in the end.

    This year is a very different scenario, players are returning for various reasons and regos is once again the normal way of doing things, mostly.

    There are other clubs in ZL that spend and/or spent way more than Cardiff will ever or have ever payed out, there are some that will not spend much and/or nothing at all, that is the nature of the beast, that this comp is becoming.

    Every year the same shit comes up, either it was the Suns, Dudley, Croatia spending shitloads each week or paying regos only, all speculation by the way, but it is what it is in the end, clubs will do what they have to.

    So, to all those who want to speculate if we are "throwing cash around" the answer is no.

    cheers.

    PS: cant wait for the comp to start and somehow get from Kahibah (3rds game, 11am kick off) to Westlakes(reggies 1245pm kickoff) on the same day, best idea ever this CL shit.

    Good to see Cardiff spending some dollars on players, 80% of the other clubs do also.

    I don’t know why members from clubs get so offended when it’s pointed out that they have obviously spent money to acquire players? For better or worse it’s just the way the league is these days.

    I suppose everyone still loves the narrative of a group of mates just going out there purely for the love of the game and no financial incentives and knocking over the wealthy more fancied teams and go on to win the competition.

    Credit to the Uni lads last year who did beat quite a few of those teams in their great run. Correct me if I’m wrong but Cardiffs highest paid player probably got paid more in a week than that Uni squad combined financially received over the course of an entire season.

    Would you like to name who this highest paid player is, and what they received in this one week? Shoot a figure out of what you know. Would love to hear this knowledge.

    Go on, waiting Zonal Marking

    I?m not going to publicly name a player and expose their finances. They have a right to privacy. What?s the matter with you?

    The other Cardiff poster admitted that you spent money last year so there?s a bit of knowledge. I also have it on good authority that Uni spent zero dollars on acquiring players.

    So putting two and two together yes Cardiffs highest paid player received more in 1 week than some of the other clubs (one of which that actually knocked them of the competition at their own ground) have spent on their entire squads.

    You are not naming them because you are full of shit and do not know. Who makes a call like that and then backpedals so quickly.

    Jealous people do, that?s who. Keep us in your thoughts

    Didn't get offended, just stated the truth and haven't denied anything.

    Paying a rego of 1 player is more than Uni spent on players, so yes, your more than likely correct on that, congrats.

    Jardel literally confirmed everything I said as correct so there is no back pedalling here pal.

    You seem a bit rattled Vinny Boy. What the matter? Has the price of pizza gone up at the warners at the bay?

    Never been a secret on regos, read above.
    All clubs sort regos or some of, all. Basic knowledge.

    ?Correct me if I?m wrong but Cardiffs highest paid player probably got paid more in a week than that Uni squad combined? your words

    Id like to know your stats here. Dont give me , privacy this privacy that. Fact is, you know sweet FA, but want to sound smart and important. So share this knowledge.

    Dont backpedal and try cling to regos being what you are talking about. You are talking weekly payments. Shoot your facts out.

    You will say that you cant name them, or you wont discuss, coz the reality is you do not know, and you are making it up.


    Sound like a sad jealous child, seeing a club doing a little better with a good group of people coming through and returning, whoever you support must not have that same thing going for them. Maybe pay their rego and get some half price pizzas for them

    Both sides had 1st players missing, score blew out, maybe in the end 6-1, it was a lot hotter than expected.

    Minmi will be a lot better this year, than last i think, showed some good signs through the game..
