Cardiff City's squad is rapidly starting to take shape. Thanks to nine players having been released at the end of their contracts and nine new players coming in, we are starting to see what the Bluebirds' side will look like next term.
As ever at the start of a new season, there will be some players who find themselves on the fringes of the squad. Cardiff have bolstered in a number of areas - central midfield, wing-back and in goal have all seen a number of additions in particular - which will naturally push some down the pecking order further.
It will no doubt see some players head out the exit door if they want to seek regular game-time – so, one suspects, there will be a few departures before the window closes, be they permanent or loan.
