When shiny new attacking players waltz into the building during a mid-season transfer window, it's quite easy for others to slip under the radar. That has perhaps been the case with Ryan Wintle at Cardiff City.
While praise has been warranted for the classy Manchester City loanee Tommy Doyle, the lightning-fast, marauding wing-back Cody Drameh and Premier League striker Jordan Hugill, the return of Wintle from his loan at Blackpool has been as positive a move as any other in January.
He arrived with little fanfare back in the summer. He was on a free transfer after leaving a League One club — Crewe Alexandra — and was added to a midfield stable which was already incredibly-well stocked. With Mick McCarthy clearly having favourites in the middle of the park, it was difficult to get excited about the 24-year-old moving to south Wales.
