Cardiff City's summer recruitment drive has shot out of the traps. Over the last week, they have confirmed four new signings with a flurry of excitement now building around the club.
After a drab, miserable campaign which saw Cardiff scrapping for their lives at the bottom of the table, Bluebirds fans have been in desperate need of positivity and they needed it quickly. Ever since Cardiff pulled themselves away from the drop zone in February and Championship status was mathematically secured thanks to the 2-1 win over Reading in April, all focus has zeroed in on the massive squad overhaul needed this summer.
And this is exactly the sort of start they needed. They've set their stall out early and the optics look good. There is a proactivity about Cardiff and a cogent plan now appears to be falling into place. There is a long, long way to go before a Championship-ready squad is assembled, of course, but all those words and promises Steve Morison made towards the back end of the season about what he wanted to get done this summer are quickly coming to fruition.
