Their local paper said they'd have one of the lowest budgets in the league www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/cardiff-city-go-full-moneyball-23742593We have been told that the wage budget Cardiff have to operate on next season will place them among the lowest in the division. To be honest, I can't see why Villa or JPB would consider coming to a team thaat don't play with wide players. And I can't really see how MON would hope to attract anyone decent for that role if it's clearly going to be a little-used plan B? 100% wouldn't expect us to be in for him, he needs to fit into a more exciting, attacking system than MON would ever dream of playing. But... Considering they are scraping the financial barrel, they have made a ridiculous amount of signings They’ve got rid of Flint and Murphy though? Who were on massive wages I’d imagine. And that’s just the two I know about.

In the right team, under the right manager, this guy could do very well in this league.

Gutted by this I thought he was a real talent waiting to destroy this league. Wish we had gone back in for him!

We've got Smallbone though, and although a different player, he could well get more assists and goals than JPB.

Annoying as MON hasn’t got a clue and doesn’t play a formation that suites this guy MoN doesn’t play a formation that suits most of our players Best post this year! 👍👍👍

Not bothered about this one. Would've been fine from the bench, which neither he nor Villa would've been happy with - he'll probably have a make or break season with them. Me neither. Started 6 games in half a season, hardly undroppable was he?

Why are people going on about this guy? He looked promising in the first couple of games and got found out. Weak as piss and not ready for the championship.

He is still a young man with lots of potential but needs coaching in how to deal with tight marking and creating space not only for himself but for others by drawing defenders out of position, and then using the ball, not trying to beat them all by himself.

I don't see this as much of a loss, he was okay for a couple of games then didn't do much after that. There isn't a place in the side for him anyway unless you wanted him as a wingback, its better to spend what little we have on players that will actually fit into the god awful system he's going for.

I liked JPB as a player but as others said he didn't really suit the system.
He got found out a lot when teams started doubling up on him and was virtually ineffective.

Like a lot of our loan signings over the past few years, he looked totally devoid of confidence in the latter part of his stay with us. If we can hit the ground running I’m sure he’ll be an integral part of a good season.
All this despite my comment about being weak as piss earlier in this thread. More than happy to see him back under new management

Looks like he officially dropped the 'Bidace' when he joined Cardiff, so he's just Philogene now

Lots of ability. Feels like with the right manager / coaching he’d be a top player.

If fact he doesn’t really have a defined role part from chasing. Squad player at best. We would be in same position as last season with him as top man upfront.
