JoeyB Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Rob Kelly completed his third transfer of the day when he confirmed the capture of French forward Luigi Glombard, subject to FL paperwork approval. The Cardiff City winger joins the Foxes for an initial one-month loan period, and will be available for Saturday's Championship encounter against Luton Town at the Walkers Stadium. Glombard made the move to the highflying Bluebirds from Nantes at the start of the 2006-07 campaign, and has made seven appearances for Dave Jones' side to date. The 22-year-old forward has represented his country at youth level, and made a total of 11 starts for Nantes before making the move to Wales. City boss Rob Kelly said: "Luigi has decent pace and likes to get at people. "He can play across the front positions, but we see him operating as a winger for us. "He's been at Cardiff for six months now and knows what the Championship is all about. "If he does well and it works out for both parties then there is a chance that the deal could be extended." The player has been allocated the number 16 shirt. O.S.

Joe. Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Another one!!! What's going on? Another winger.. Woooooo
MC Prussian Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Hmm... Not so convinced about this signing. Luigi Glombard's football file Winner of the French Youth Cup, the Coupe Gambardella in 2002, though.
Brainy Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Oooh Sounds good. A Foriegn striker playing at LCFC!?!? Also looks good that we seem to have the finances (no matter how small) to pay a percentage of players wages.
RowlattsFox Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Hmm... Not so convinced about this signing. Luigi Glombard's football file me neither, i know a cardiff fan and she tells me he is shit.
Flynny Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Another winger... perfect. Having to loan from another side in the same league is surely a bit low, though? Oh well... right age and all, doing the right things. But all three signings today are loans, right?
Milky Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 :w00t: sounds interesting, i wonder what the cardiff fans think of him. all we need now is a CM. 4 players would be unlikely though i suppose.
Milky Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Hmm... Not so convinced about this signing. Luigi Glombard's football file Winner of the French Youth Cup, the Coupe Gambardella in 2002, though. one for the ladies perhaps?
potter3 Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Hmph, the only teams in this league who could loan us some of their decent backup players are Brum and West Brom I'd reckon. Possibly Sunderland
Kilworthfox Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 one for the ladies perhaps? After 3 ......... 1 2 3 Who?
MC Prussian Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Make it a black Luigi, and you've hit the nail on the head.
Simon Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 You're quick off the mark! Was expecting Luigi from Cars as well tho...
Mark Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Hmm 6 apps for Cardiff 0 goals. Well we've a great selection of strikers now, so Hume to play central midfield/right wing surely then?
Leonisco Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Hmm 6 apps for Cardiff 0 goals. Well we've a great selection of strikers now, so Hume to play central midfield/right wing surely then? No Kelly's said he sees Glombard as a winger.
davieG Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Pity we can't manage a striker that is known for scoring some bloody goals.
davieG Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 No Kelly's said he sees Glombard as a winger. So is that goodbye Levi
Leonisco Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 So is that goodbye Levi I think he probably means the right wing as that's the one we're short of players on.
Joe. Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 :w00t: sounds interesting, i wonder what the cardiff fans think of him. all we need now is a CM. 4 players would be unlikely though i suppose. Well I've asked on a Cardiff forum. I'll let everyone know on responses... He can't be that good if they've let us have him
potter3 Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 So is that goodbye Levi Perhaps he'll move Levi into the middle to be the creative partner. Or perhaps he's broadening his horizons and using a 4-3-3 Hughes --Weso --Porter -------------Hume -----------------------------------Glombard/YeatesHorsefield/Fryatt
Thracian Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Three loan signings and some money in for an underperforming player. Two 22-year-olds and one old timer... I can't see how we'll be much worse off - except for being concerned about who these guys will keep out if they do not represent a genuine improvement. We might have missed Williams skills if he'd shown any signs of using them with any effect, but he hasn't really. So, presumably, we've got a bit of money in the bank, potentially a bit more to come, have not really lost an asset because his contract was ending anyway and have two players who might improve, plus one other for, I imagine, about the same wages as Williams was on just by himself. I just hope we've not bought three duffers.
