Cardiff City: New Erol Bulut transfer comments spell bad news for 2022 signing
Cardiff City boss has revealed his January plans for the club and that could be bad news for this midfielder.
Cardiff City has made an excellent start to the season under manager Erol Bulut, positioning themselves as top-six contenders.
Bulut plans to be active in the January transfer window, hoping to bring in three to four new signings to strengthen the squad.
Andy Rinomhota, who has struggled for regular game time this season, could be affected by the club’s plans for January, potentially leading to his departure from Cardiff City.
Cardiff City will have taken many by surprise in terms of their start to this new season.
The Bluebirds have been languishing in the bottom half of the league for a few seasons now, and there were doubts that this was going to change under an unproven manager.
But Erol Bulut has come in and done an excellent job so far, as he’s not only made Cardiff a competitive team but also made them a top-six contender in the early parts of this season.
There is obviously still a long way to go in terms of Cardiff becoming genuine play-off contenders, but the early signs are very good for the club and manager.
As the football calendar enters November, attention will slowly turn to the upcoming January transfer window.
Bulut made significant changes in the summer, and it is likely the Cardiff boss will want to do so again in January.

What has Erol Bulut said about Cardiff City’s plans for January?
Cardiff brought in nine players over the summer, and they have seemed to make a positive impact on the club.
The Bluebirds will hope the January transfer window can be an opportunity to further strengthen as they look to keep up with the chasing pack.
Bulut has revealed that he believes his side will be active in January, as he eyes three to four new signings.
He told BBC Sport: “Financially, we are working to see what we can do.
“If we can, I would like to have three or four more players. We don’t have the biggest squad in the Championship. So we have to do something in the market.”
He added: “I think we will do something in January.”
The Cardiff boss also revealed that he expects “two or three” players to leave the club in the new year.
This news could affect current Cardiff player Andy Rinomhota, who has struggled for regular minutes this season.
