Cardiff City's transfer strategy has been cogent and rapidly implemented this summer.
Targets were lined up months ago and the deals have been executed largely without a hitch. Not many permanent signings have slipped through the net in recent months and that is undoubtedly cause for praise.
For the most part, Cardiff's squad has a far better balance about in, both in terms of age and positional strength. There are three senior goalkeepers all vying for one spot, four genuine wing-backs and, when Cedric Kipre joins, there will also be five centre-backs from which to choose, too.
