The emotions which pour out on social media when new signings are made range from gleeful optimism to glum pessimism from supporters. Depending on the player, of course, that needle shifts one way or the other.
Many Cardiff City fans appeared underwhelmed or nonplussed by the Callum O'Dowda signing. The Bluebirds beat off a huge number of Championship clubs for his signature, with Steve Morison keen to add wingers to the squad as he attempted to rip up the style of play.
Cardiff had earmarked O'Dowda early, knowing his contract at Bristol City was coming to an end. When he left the Robins, fans there appeared to bemoan his lack of consistency and were seemingly cool over his departure.
